- Unmasking Scent Authenticity: A Comparative Analysis of Original Versus Fake Perfumes Wael Hananeh Abdalmajeed M. Alajlouni Flavour and Fragrance Journal ABSTRACT The proliferation of counterfeit perfumes poses growing challenges to consumer safety, brand integrity and regulatory enforcement. This study examines three popular fragrances, coded D, V and G, by comparing the ingredient profiles of their original and counterfeit versions. Ingredients were classified into those exclusive to authentic samples, unique to fakes and those shared by both. Results reveal that original perfumes consistently utilise rare, high‐grade synthetics such as Cashmeran and Ambrox, while counterfeits often substitute these with inexpensive fillers like Dipropylene Glycol or hazardous compounds including phthalates. The findings highlight key authenticity markers and underscore significant health risks associated with counterfeit formulations. This research contributes to consumer awareness, regulatory action and anti‐counterfeiting strategies within the fragrance market. 10.1002/ffj.70049 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor
