Whether or not you choose to see the pun intended here, there is a lot of truth to the statement that buying cheap perfume can be a painful choice as many women can tell you. No matter whether you buy it online or at your local department store, a cheap brand of perfume may not end up being the bargain you thought it was going to be and as the old saw goes, "if the price sounds too good to be true….." well you know the rest. If you enter the phrase cheap perfume into your favorite search engine, you will find literally thousands on sites that sell fake designer perfumes, imitation brands and so forth. Creating and selling faux perfumes is big business, counterfeiters make millions if not billions every year creating knock offs of the top designer names such as Chanel and Versace. Every year customs intercepts millions of bottle of these fakes, yet they are only scratching the surface of the industry.

The manufacturers of these cheap perfumes have become so skilled at copying the original labels, bottles and scents that they can even fool the experts. With this in mind, you have little chance of spotting a fake, that is at least until you actually apply the perfume to your skin. At this point if you are lucky all it will do is give you a burning sensation. Unfortunately many of these cheap perfumes use some very nasty chemicals in their makeup. Some of the can physically burn your skin or cause severe allergic reactions, since they are not tested by the FDA or anyone else there is no telling what is in them. Having said this, it does not mean that every site that sells cheap perfumes is selling what amounts to a product that is one step away from being toxic waste.

What it does mean is that you need to be very careful when you are searching for an online store to buy your next bottle of discounted Chanel Coco from. Look for information on the website that includes things like a money back guarantee, an actual verifiable physical address and a guarantee that all of the products they have for sale are the genuine article. Only when you feel very confident that the cheap perfumes you are looking at are the genuine product should you risk you hard earned money and of course your skin. While losing your money is bad enough, having permanently damaged skin from using a fake designer perfume is something you will have to live with the rest of your life.
