Knockoff Perfumes Might Include Human Urine!
When it comes to perfumes, cheaper isn’t always better — and in the case of knockoff fragrances, it might be downright disgusting. According to Ant Robinson, a fragrance expert from HalfPricePerfumes, lab tests on counterfeit scents have uncovered an unsettling ingredient: human urine.
While the thought alone is revolting, there are practical reasons to steer clear of these shady sprays. Urine can harbor bacteria and microbes that might lead to infections. Additionally, knockoff perfumes often lack quality control, increasing the risk of skin irritations like rashes, redness, and eczema.
With the holiday season approaching, experts caution against gifting counterfeit perfumes. Before making a purchase, ensure you’re buying from reputable sources — unless you want your gift to come with more than just a questionable scent.
Stick to trusted brands unless you want to risk turning “eau de toilette” into something far less glamorous.
