Is a current Samouraï fragrance always an Alain Delon product?
No. Samouraï began with Alain Delon but later became a separate brand, so read the complete packaging identity.
Check Alain Delon Cosmetic Batch Code
Alain Delon fragrances include vintage releases such as Alain Delon pour Homme, AD Classic, Iquitos, Le Temps d’Aimer, Lyra, Pharos, and Shogun. Samouraï began with Alain Delon in the 1990s but later developed as a separate fragrance brand under Lalique Group, making the exact front label and license panel essential for older bottles.
Alain Delon FAQ
Does Iquitos 1987 date every Alain Delon bottle?
No. That is the release year associated with Iquitos, not a batch date printed for an individual bottle.
Can a discontinued Alain Delon perfume still be usable?
Possibly, but a lot estimate cannot replace inspection of storage history, evaporation, closure integrity, clarity, and scent condition.
Check an Alain Delon fragrance batch code
Before you rely on the decoded date
- Inspect bottle bases and base labels, carton undersides, aftershave bottles, cellophane seams, and gift-set trays for a short printed, etched, or stamped lot. AD initials, scent names, EDT or aftershave wording, volume, barcode, and a seller’s vintage inventory number are not manufacturing dates.
- Parfums de Paris, Ultra de Varens, Art & Fragrance or Lalique Group context can help distinguish packaging periods, but company wording is not itself a lot. An Alain Delon-branded Samouraï bottle should not automatically be grouped with later stand-alone Samouraï editions.
Common lookup mistakes
- Record the full fragrance, concentration, bottle and carton marks, country, license or distributor, and whether Samouraï appears as the brand or as an Alain Delon line.
- For discontinued bottles, combine the decoded period with provenance, fill level, seal and atomizer condition, evaporation, color, odor, and evidence of heat or light exposure.
