Is it legit? Look at the box and the bottle

Eight things worth a look, in our own words, from what buyers and guides keep pointing to. Mark each one Right, Off or Can’t tell. Nothing you tick is stored or sent.

0 looks right · 0 off · 0 can’t tell

Signals, not proof. A good fake can pass any one check.

Box and label print

No misspellings; even lettering on the box, the label and the base.

Cellophane

Tight and flat, with neat seams and no glue line across the top. Some houses ship without one.

Batch code

The code on the box and the code on the bottle are the same, pressed or printed cleanly, not on a loose sticker.

Base

What the base carries, etched or on a sticker, matches the box, with the house’s name spelt right.

Cap

As heavy as the line’s other caps; it sits straight and closes firmly.

Sprayer and collar

The collar stays on the neck when the cap comes off, with no gap, glue or leak; the mist is fine and even.

Glass

Even, with no bubbles or cloudy patches, and faint mould seams.

Colour of the juice

Close to what the house sells now. Colour varies between batches, so this is a weak signal.

Not signals on their own

These come up a lot, and none of them settles anything by itself.

  • A code a lookup site accepts: real codes are copied onto fakes, and others often go unfound.

  • A difference from another bottle: houses redesign boxes, reformulate, and sell testers, gift sets and refills that look different.

  • Smell and how long it lasts: good fakes can smell close, and age and storage change any bottle.

  • High seller feedback or a receipt photo: fakes are sold by well-rated accounts too.

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.
