Buying tips & authenticity checklist

1. Buy from reputable sellers: official brand stores, authorized retailers, or established e-commerce sites with good return policies.

2. Check packaging: sharp printing, intact seals, batch code on box and bottle. Fakes often have spelling errors, flimsy boxes, or mismatched batch codes.

3. Smell test: If possible, sample in-store. Fragrance evolves — don’t judge on the initial spray alone.

4. Price red flags: If a product is way cheaper than typical market range for that brand, verify authenticity.

5. Batch & expiry: Most EDPs stay good for 2–5 years unopened; once opened store away from light and heat. Batch codes let you verify production date with some online checkers.
