Ever been on holiday to a warm country? Then you’ve probably seen all the street merchants sell every possible luxury item you can find. Purses, designer bags, watches… and of course perfumes. For crazy low prices. So with these guys it’s obvious they are not the real ones. But even some other less shady places sometimes sell fake perfumes… So how do you know if you have an Aqva Bvlgari fake?
Well, luckily for us there a some signs that you can use to check whether the bottle you’re about to buy is real or fake. So if you’re in a store and want to find out if you’re buying the real deal or not, then continue reading…
Is your Aqva Bvlgari fake?
As I said before, perfumes are very susceptible to fakes. That is because in contrast to, for example designer bags or watches, it is pretty difficult to check the quality while buying. Your Aqva Bvlgari fake will smell just the same as the real one when you try it on in a shop.
The smell will be the same citrus marine scent as for the real one.
Only after wearing it for some time, it will start to show that the ingredients used were of low quality. How? because the longevity will be weak, so where the real perfume last up to 9 hours, the Aqva Bvlgari fake will last anywhere between an hour to several hours.
Another thing that can happen is that the top notes will be about the same as the real one, but that the base and lower notes (which come through later) will be completely different from the real perfume.
So, even though the price you would’ve paid for the fake one would be a lot less, it wouldn’t be worth it, as the quality would be too bad. You would have to be reapplying every couple of hours and there’s even the possibility the bad quality of the ingredients can harm your skin or breathing tract.
Anyway, before we get started with all the signs of the Aqva Bvlgari fake, I want to give you one tip. Prevention is better than curing. It’s better to get your bottle from a verified seller. You can click here to get yourself a real bottle on Amazon.
Here are 5 signs of the Aqva Bvlgari fake
Luckily for us most designers of fake perfumes are pretty smart. Why smart? Because even though the bottles and packages of the fake perfume really resemble the real Aqva Bvlgari perfume, they’re different in a lot of key aspects.
Why?
Because otherwise they would get sued by Bvlgari. And since Bvlgari is a big company that possesses a lot of legal power, most designers of fake perfumes wouldn’t want to mess with them.
So what do designers of fake perfume did?
Simple, they made the design of the Aqva Bvlgari fake so, that it would differ from the real one in key aspects – such as font, smell, and even the logo.
So know that we know that the fake ones differ from the real in several aspects, let’s find out what the trademarks of the Aqva Bvlgari fake are!
#1 The appearance of the box
Just like other perfumes, Aqva Bvlgari is sold in a nice box. And this box can already give away whether the perfume is real or fake. There are two main differences:
- The real box has more of a shine to it (if you look closely it reflects a bit)
- On the real box, the Aqva Pour Homme logo is written within a silver rectangle, where the logo of the Aqva Bvlgari fake has no rectangle around it
#2 The writing on the box
Next we have the writing and symbols on the box. The main differences here are:
- The writing on the back of the box is not very pronounced and is tough to read (the font is small). Again, the box reflects a bit when you’re in a light room.
- The Aqva Bvlgari fake has an inflammable symbol on it and shows the expiration date (the real perfume has none of these)
#3 The inside of the box
Inside of the box there are two giveaways whether it’s real or not:
- The cardboard inside the real box is stronger and does not bend
- The real box has its cardboard arranged in such a way that it gives more protection during transport to the bottle of perfume
#4 The logo on the bottle
Now that we’ve discussed the box of the Bvlgari Aqva perfume, it’s time to get to the bottle itself. Even though it might be a bit more difficult to find out here if you’ve got a Aqva Bvlgari fake in your hands – it still is possible with the help of the following knowledge:
- The logo on the real bottle says “Aqva Pour Homme” on the transparent part. For the Aqva Bvlgari fake it says “Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme”.
- The bottle of the real perfume has a simpler design. Take a look below to see how the real bottle looks like

#5 The code on the bottle
Apart from the logo, the text on the back of the bottle also gives away whether you’ve got the real bottle or not. For instance:
- The real bottle has information specified on the back of the bottle. The fake one does not.
- The code on the real bottle always has to match the code on the box.
Is the price too good to be true?
Often, a person selling a fake perfume will have either a price that is way too high – or way too low. After all, since it’s a fake they can get away with asking much lower prices. So the chances of someone buying it will be higher.
That’s why I always recommend you to check what the market prices are. Just go to Amazon for example and check the perfume that you’re about to buy (don’t forget to correct for the size and volume!). That way you’ll know approximately what a good price is to pay for the Aqva Bvlgari perfume.
Where to get the real perfume
As you can see it’s pretty easy to spot the Aqva Bvlgari fake bottle and box from the real one. Designers of the fake perfume have done their best to make the first impression look the same as the real bottle – but have made changes in a couple of key elements.
So, if you find yourself in a shady little shop trying to find an Aqva Bvlgari bottle, you know what to look for.
Alternatively – I recommend you only go to verified sellers. This way you’re sure that your bottle contains the real Aqva Bvlgari Pour Homme.
P.S. And if you want it delivered straight to your door, while being a 100% sure of the quality… then you can go to Amazon to get yourself a real bottle of Aqva Bvlgari!
I love this perfume – happy to know that I’m no longer buying fakes 🙂
