Take time to examine both the bottle itself and the contents.  If you’ve never bought an authentic Chanel perfume before, have a look at a bottle in a department store where you can be sure that it is the real deal.  Take note of the colour, the shape and quality of the bottle and the writing on both the bottle and the box.  Once you know what a genuine bottle of Chanel perfume should look like, you’re far less likely to be duped into buying a fake item.

When buying from an unknown seller, look at the perfume itself.  Is the colour the same as that of an authentic perfume or is it too light or too dark?  Is the perfume clear? If it’s cloudy or there is debris in the bottle, it’s almost certainly a fake.  You can also check for air bubbles in the tube leading to the spray mechanism.  You’ll always find these in a genuine bottle of designer perfume, but you’re far less likely to spot them in counterfeit fragrances.

Look at the bottle itself. Chanel perfumes are premium products and this is reflected in the quality of the bottle and the packaging.  The glass should be unwarped and made of a heavyset glass.  Turn the bottle upside down and check the cap stays on.  An ill-fitting cap or spray mechanism should set alarm bells ringing.  Everything on the bottle should be of a high standard.  Labels will be parallel and central.  The writing will also endure a scrape with a fingernail on an authentic bottle.  On cheap copies, you will tend to find that the writing rubs off easily.

Smell the perfume. Most counterfeiters invest time and money into getting the packaging as close to the authentic product as possible.  In my experience, fake perfumes smell nothing like the real thing.  But if you’re not sure, allow the perfume to settle on your skin and smell it again in 20 minutes.  An authentic eau de parfum should still smell strongly after this time.

If you have any doubts at all, then it’s likely that the perfume you’re looking to buy isn’t authentic and you should keep hold of your money.  It’s rare to find genuine Chanel perfume selling at much less than it would cost in a department store.  Instead, it might be worth considering a cheaper brand of perfume or try adding it to your Christmas or Birthday wish list and see if someone else will treat you!

Someday smells good, but should be cheaper
Donna-Dolores Buse This past weekend, Justin Bieber launched his new fragrance , Someday. It is a perfume developed for Justin’s female fanbase. I saw people who loved Bieber take pictures by the cardboard cutout of him at Macy’s, and I saw people who hate Bieber do the same thing. admin@thecelebritycafe.com B005342PEM read more

A Brand Apart

You may well wonder what it is about Chanel perfume that sets it apart from the rest and why women cannot do without it, and the answer is easily available when one considers the vision of its founder Coco Chanel who wished for women to wear perfumes that gave them a sense of freedom and of belonging to an important part of society. Though she may not have realized just how well her vision would become reality, today there is no denying the fact that Chanel perfumes are the very epitome of perfumes.

Thus, today all the famous personalities in the world including of course the Hollywood beauties are all sporting Chanel perfume, all of which contributes to the popularity and glamour associated with such a brand of which Chanel Number 5 is a good example. Such free advertising and also the effect of celebrities endorsing Chanel perfume has made millions of women want to own a bottle of such perfume for them, thus contributing to the success of this brand even more.

So, with hundred years of experience in selling its brand, it is no accident that today everyone wants to own Chanel perfume and all that a woman needs today is to walk into a department store where there are sure to be shelves filled with Chanel perfume bottles of different sizes, fragrances and shapes.

The hugely popular Chanel No. 5 that was the brainchild of Ernest Beaux contains ylang-ylang and also neroli and blends of jasmine as well as rose makes for a very alluring perfume indeed. Though no one (outside of the company) really knows the exact blend, there is no doubting its popularity and it is believed that a bottle of Chanel No. 5 is sold once every thirty seconds. So, this product is certainly filling the coffers of its maker while proving it a huge success with the public as well.
