When was your perfume made?
Type the brand and the batch code printed on the bottle or its box. The date is worked out on this page from published batch-code formats, and nothing you type is sent anywhere.
How to read the answer
One code, several dates
Most formats keep one digit or letter for the year, so a code repeats: every ten years for most houses, every eight for Chanel. The checker shows the most recent date the code can mean, and every earlier one it could also be.
When it can’t say
A brand with no published format, a code that doesn’t fit its brand’s format, or a date that can’t exist: the checker says so, and why. It never guesses a date.
Why a date isn’t proof
Real codes are copied onto fakes, so a good date says nothing about the bottle itself. Look at the box and the bottle too, with the Is it legit? checklist.
No guarantee
These checks give signals, not proof: a well-made fake can pass every one of them, and a genuine bottle can fail one. Buy from authorised sellers when you can; the decision to buy is yours, and NozeDex can’t be responsible for a purchase.

Keep the code with your bottle
In NozeDex, check a code from your bottle’s own page, scan it with the camera, and keep it with the bottle. Free beta on iPhone and Android.
