Capture an ultra-sharp close-up of the spray nozzle orifice and crimp collar without the cap to examine machine crimping quality.

SLOT 3 • CRITIQUE Photo 3 — Base batch code engraving

Zoom in on the bottom glass base to verify the laser-etched or screen-printed batch serial number (78W501 (6 chars)).

SLOT 4 • COMPLÉMENT Photo 4 — Inner cap & finishings

Photograph the inside cavity of the cap to inspect magnetic alignment, weight, and inner plastic molding seams.

Frequently Asked Questions — Authenticity & Disputes Urban Decay

How to spot a fake Urban Decay perfume?

To spot a counterfeit Urban Decay fragrance, check 4 critical manufacturing points: the atomizer nozzle assembly (automated factory crimp collar with zero tool marks or ripples), crystal-clear glass moulding with uniform base thickness, an ultra-discreet dip tube that vanishes in liquid, and high-precision laser serial engraving on the bottom base (78W501 (6 chars)).

Can I get a refund on Vinted, eBay, or Depop if I received a fake perfume?

Yes. On platforms like Vinted or eBay, halt the order within the buyer protection window by opening a dispute for 'Counterfeit / Not as described'. Submit the official CosmeScan PDF inspection dossier featuring macro photo evidence of the nozzle and crimp collar, paired with our formal dispute letter to secure a full refund.

Does a valid batch code guarantee perfume authenticity on its own?

No, a valid batch code alone does not prove a perfume is genuine. Counterfeiters routinely copy authentic batch codes from legitimate retail displays onto replica packaging. A comprehensive visual audit of physical manufacturing tolerances (spray nozzle assembly, machine collar crimp, glass bottom moulding, and dip tube clarity) is essential to determine authenticity.
