How to spot fakes

Counterfeit perfume is rampant in Indian marketplaces. A few checks before you pay:

Price sanity

If a ₹25,000 niche bottle is listed at ₹3,000, it’s not a deal — it’s a fake. Compare against our verified seller prices before buying.

Seller checks

Buy from the brand’s own site or a verified retailer. Check GST invoices, return policies, and reviews that mention authenticity — not just delivery speed.

The bottle tells

Blurry printing, misaligned caps, weak magnets, and chemical-smelling first sprays are classic tells. Batch codes should match the box and be verifiable on check sites.

When in doubt

Stick to sellers on Scentarchy’s verified list, and report suspicious listings — we investigate and delist.
