Numbered perfumery, "analogs"

A one of a kind kind of copying perfumes is understood in ex-USSR international locations as "номерная парфюмерия" (actually "numbered perfumery"):

A "range-making" business enterprise with perfumery system would use their very own, one-fashion-for-all bottle; de jure labeling a knock-off fragrance as an "aroma within the course of the well-known perfume" or a "model" of certain branded fragrance.

• This way, the production expenses are decreased, because the bottle is used neither for simple counterfeiting nor for diffused re-designing and re-copyrighting of the bottle and packaging.

• The questionable a part of numbered perfumery naming is the concept to overtly mark perfume #XXX (say, #a 100 and 5) as both "type" or "version", or "аромат направления" (literally "aroma in the course of") of a famous perfum.

• Resellers in offline stores (in shops, airport stores) can offer "fillable" perfumery, every now and then using weasel wording to justify the charge.

• Such perfumes commonly get three-digit numbers as an formally registered name, that's stickered to such bottles.

• When it comes to propellant, a "quantity" generally has an alcohol base without stabilization (which may additionally deliver strong "alcohol base stench", altering perfume's fragrance into the "scent of cheapness" phenomenon).

• To avoid this, many "numbers" can be made with (di)propylenglicol base, labelled "perfume oil(s)" (typically bought in 50ml plastic and purposed for tiny rollers; (D)PG isn't always usable in spray bottles)(no longer tormented by the "scent of cheapness" difficulty despite the fact that). Some agencies provide most of their very own "numbers" in both bases.

In small on line "bulk", but (in purchases over 5000RUB), an entire 100ml bottle of such perfume (or 50ml bottle of "heady scent oil" of identical "course") costs best around 4 EUR (or up to 5 EUR (~450 RUB) for a "selective" fragrance made to resemble a "niche" uncommon high-priced aroma in preference to a famous luxe).
