Batch Code Checker — Check Fresh of Perfumes and Cosmetics

Batch Code Checker is a professional online tool that analyzes the batch code found on a perfume bottle or its packaging. It helps users determine the production date, shelf life, and version information. It is an essential tool for perfume enthusiasts to confirm product freshness and assist in authenticity verification.

Batch Code Checker is based on the coding patterns and databases published by major cosmetic brands. While results for most mainstream brands (such as Chanel, Dior, Tom Ford, etc.) are highly accurate, brands may periodically change their coding logic. Therefore, we recommend using the results as a reference. For newly released products, there may be a short delay in database updates.

Yes! Batch Code Checker is completely free and requires no registration or subscription. You can perform unlimited searches for different perfume brands at no cost and without any hidden credit card requirements.

The batch code usually consists of 3 to 12 alphanumeric characters. You can find it on the bottom of the perfume bottle (typically etched, stamped, or on a transparent label) and on the bottom of the outer packaging. Please note that for authentic perfumes, the code on the bottle must match the one on the box.

Not necessarily. A 'not found' result could be due to three reasons: 1. The brand recently changed its coding rules and the database hasn't updated yet; 2. The brand is an extremely niche house that has not been indexed; 3. There is a genuine risk regarding authenticity. We recommend further inspection of the bottle craftsmanship, nozzle details, and scent.

A barcode is a universal identifier for a specific product model; every bottle of the same perfume has the same barcode. A batch code is a unique identifier for a specific production cycle. You must use the batch code, not the long barcode, to check the production date.

The shelf life provided by the tool is usually the manufacturer's official recommendation (often 36 months after opening). However, unlike skincare, as long as perfume is stored in a cool, dry, and dark environment, many fragrances remain perfectly usable 5–10 years after production, and some may even develop a richer scent.

Our tool supports over 500 mainstream and niche perfume and cosmetics brands worldwide, including luxury labels, commercial fragrances, and major designer brands. You can simply enter the brand name in the search box along with the batch code for an instant query.
