The harm of fake perfume

We need to use perfume in many cases and occasions to show respect to others. There are many perfumes circulating on the market, but due to social reasons, the quality of perfumes varies. Some people just think that fake perfumes are harmful to the human body, but in fact many people don’t know what kind of harm fake perfumes can cause to people. If you don’t understand the harm of fake perfumes, then here are the impacts and adverse reactions of fake perfumes.

The dangers of fake perfume

The main ingredients of perfume are spices, alcohol and pure water.

In the process of perfume preparation, health and safety are the most important. Formal perfume manufacturing companies will strictly follow industry standards in production and have strict production operation procedures to ensure that the products are healthy for the human body. It is impossible for underground factories to carry out strict inspection of spices during the production process. Due to the defects in purification technology, counterfeiters with poor strength have become the first choice for many "water bottling workshops" to abuse "fragrance additives". These "water bottling workshops" take some "fake essence" and "tap water", mix them, and put them in customized "perfume bottles" with counterfeit trademarks, and then they can mass-produce "fake perfumes".

Counterfeit and low-quality perfumes generally contain excessive amounts of ethanol and heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, and mercury. Ethanol is very harmful to human skin. People with skin allergies are prone to rashes after applying it. Heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, and mercury are more toxic and are particularly harmful to women. Excessive lead intake can directly damage nerve cells and make people susceptible to dementia.

Tips for identifying genuine and fake perfumes, stay away from inferior perfumes

Tips for identifying real and fake perfumes: Identify by the color of the perfume

If it is a high-end perfume made with natural spices, most of them are amber or brown in color, and look like a warm gem. Good quality perfume must look clear and transparent, and will not change color even if it is kept at 30 degrees Celsius for 24 hours.

Tip 2 for identifying genuine and fake perfumes: Identify by the packaging of the perfume

For volatile items like perfume, the quality of packaging is also one of the techniques to identify the authenticity of perfume. When purchasing perfume, you must pay attention to whether the perfume bottle is well sealed, whether the bottle mouth and the bottle cap are tight and without gaps, and also check whether the perfume is neat and the pattern is clear. For perfume bottles with spray nozzles, check whether the nozzle is flexible. To check if the perfume has a "CIQ" logo, this is the official ID card of the brand perfume.

Tip 3 for identifying genuine and fake perfumes: Identify by the duration of fragrance retention

A truly good perfume has distinct top notes, middle notes and base notes, each with its own flavor. Generally speaking, the scent of a perfume lasts for a few hours at most. When a premium perfume is sprayed on textiles, the scent should last for no less than 70 hours, and for a floral perfume no less than 60 hours.

Tip 4 for identifying genuine and fake perfumes: Identify by Chinese labels

If the bottle of a genuine or fake perfume is genuine, there will be a transparent plastic paper at the bottom. The name, specifications and origin of the perfume will be introduced on this plastic paper. This is the Chinese label, which is not included in the original perfume packaging, but it is required by national regulations.

Tip 5 for identifying genuine and fake perfumes: Identify by price

Of course, the prices of real perfume and fake perfume will be different. It is impossible for big-name perfumes to have prices that you would never expect. This is what we usually say, "cheap goods are not good." It is recommended to buy a genuine Q-version perfume to try it.

Tips to identify real and fake perfumes will often keep you away from fake perfumes and buy the real good ones.
