Are Kingdom and McQueen Parfum from the same fragrance era?
No. They came from different licensing periods and should be identified using their complete packaging panels.
Check Alexander McQueen Cosmetic Batch Code
Alexander McQueen fragrance spans distinct eras: Kingdom and MyQueen were introduced through the earlier YSL Beauté relationship, while McQueen Parfum, McQueen Eau de Parfum, Eau Blanche, and the 2018 McQueen Collection followed a later P&G license that transferred to Coty. The full scent and company panel help separate these generations.
Alexander McQueen FAQ
Is MyQueen Light Mist the same as original MyQueen?
No. It is a separately named lighter version, not merely a different bottle size.
Can an Alexander McQueen fashion item number date perfume?
No. Fashion and retail references identify merchandise; use the fragrance package’s separate physical lot.
Check an Alexander McQueen fragrance batch code
Before you rely on the decoded date
- Inspect bottle bases and base labels, carton undersides, cellophane seams, collars, limited-edition sleeves, and presentation trays for a short printed, etched, or stamped lot. Skull motifs, Kingdom or MyQueen edition names, concentration, volume, barcode, fashion SKU, and collection number are not manufacturing dates.
- Kingdom EDT, EDP, limited editions and Summer, plus MyQueen Deluxe and Light Mist, are distinct variants. McQueen Parfum, Eau de Parfum, Eau Blanche, and Collection scents such as Dark Papyrus or Vetiver Moss should also be identified separately rather than grouped by bottle design.
Common lookup mistakes
- Record the complete fragrance and edition, concentration, size, YSL Beauté, P&G or Coty wording, country, and both bottle and carton marks.
- For discontinued or collectible bottles, assess provenance, fill level, seal, evaporation, leakage, color, and scent after storage as well as the decoded period.
