Why ÉCLAT? And why you should be cautious when buying perfume dupes

We carefully examined the market and carried out test purchases from other dupe providers. The result? Shocking. The majority of vendors violate existing regulations – and thereby put your safety at risk.

Legal Violations & Lack of Product Safety

Our analysis shows: Many providers disregard essential regulations such as the EU Cosmetics Regulation, product safety laws (GPSR), or labeling requirements.
Example: One product contained the banned substance Lyral – a fragrance ingredient prohibited in the EU since 2021 due to its high allergenic potential.

In addition, many products were not registered in the CPNP (Cosmetic Products Notification Portal) – although this is legally mandatory. Essential safety information was missing altogether. The manufacturers listed on the packaging often did not match the information provided online – or were not mentioned at all. Many sellers are officially based abroad, which makes complaints or claims nearly impossible.

Transparency? Nowhere to Be Found.

Zero Quality Control – Nobody Knows What’s Really Inside the Bottle

The reality: Many resellers sell cheaply imported products from unknown sources. Ingredients? Unclear. Origin? Unknown.

At ÉCLAT, things are different! Our perfumes are created, bottled, and packaged in Fernwald, Germany. We know every single component – from the bottle and label to the very last fragrance note. All ingredients are documented, fully EU-compliant – and IFRA-certified.

IFRA-Certified & Responsibly Formulated

What is IFRA? The International Fragrance Association sets globally recognized safety standards for fragrance ingredients – often stricter than EU regulations. Compliance may be voluntary – but for us, it’s non-negotiable.

Because: Your skin deserves protection. We recommend our perfumes wholeheartedly – even to our loved ones.

Warning: Trademark Infringements

Another problem: Many dupe sellers engage in illegal comparative advertising, e.g., by directly naming brand products or displaying original flacons.

This is strictly prohibited in Germany. At ÉCLAT, we strictly comply with trademark law. Our fragrances are inspired – but never copied. No tricks. No grey areas.

Vegan, Phthalate-Free & Dye-Free – Proven and Certified

We go one step further: Our product line is gradually becoming vegan, phthalate-free, UV-filter-free, and free from artificial colorants.

Many brands use buzzwords like “vegan” carelessly – without true expertise. Did you know, for instance, that ingredients like Civet (a musky fragrance) are animal-derived? Or that certain synthetics are processed using egg whites?

At ÉCLAT, every component is carefully checked – and we openly share what’s inside. For true clarity.

Is More Perfume Oil Really Better?

Some vendors advertise with 30%, 40%, or even 50% perfume oil concentration. Sounds good – but is often misleading. Why? Because the higher the concentration, the stricter the regulations. And many products don’t comply.

Cheap carriers like Dipropylene Glycol or Isopropyl Myristate are used for dilution – or even non-approved concentrations.
The result: Skin irritation, allergies – and an unsafe fragrance.

At ÉCLAT, we use 18–20% perfume oil – the perfect balance for a safe, long-lasting scent experience.

Made in Germany & Truly Accessible

At ÉCLAT, you get more than just a fragrance: You get responsibility, trust, and transparency.

We collaborate with experienced perfumers and laboratories in Germany. Every production step is traceable and local.
And if you have questions? Our customer service is here – personal, honest, and helpful.

Conclusion: Safety, Trust & Transparency – That’s ÉCLAT

In a market full of questionable imports and shady practices, we stand for clear values:

  • Product safety according to the highest standards

  • Honest communication instead of empty promises

  • Design, quality & responsibility

If you are looking for a fragrance that you can wear – or gift – with peace of mind, ÉCLAT is the right choice.
