Where to find your Karen Low batch code

On real Karen Low packaging (made by Geparlys S.A.S.) — green is the code, red is not (the barcode, article number or open-jar symbol):

Where to find the Karen Low batch code on the packaging — e.g. M1311 C1451, not the barcode

✓ The batch code is M1311 C1451

✗ Not the code: 422, 75008, 80%VOL

The Karen Low batch code — also called the lot code, lot number or serial number — is a short 4–8 character stamp of letters and numbers, usually embossed rather than printed in ink, and it is never the barcode. On a bottle or jar look at the base; on a tube look near the crimp/seal at the end; on a boxed perfume or fragrance check a flap or side of the box; on makeup check the underside of the compact or inside the pan.

Bottle / jar — stamped on the base.
Tube — near the crimp or seal at the closed end.
Boxed fragrance — a flap or side of the outer box (and often on the bottle base too).
Compact / palette — the underside, or inside the pan.

About Karen Low batch codes

We can't decode Karen Low's batch code format yet. Check the printed expiration or best-before date on the pack, the PAO open-jar symbol, and the product's smell and texture.

Most unopened cosmetics and fragrances keep for about 30–36 months from manufacture. Once opened, follow the PAO (open-jar) symbol — it usually matters more than any printed expiration date.

Can the batch code tell me if my Karen Low is authentic? Not on its own. A code that decodes to a sensible date is a good sign, but counterfeiters copy real codes from genuine packs, so a valid code cannot prove a Karen Low product is authentic. Buy from Karen Low or an authorised retailer, and compare the packaging, print quality and seal with one you know is genuine.

Does Karen Low expire?

Yes — like all cosmetics and fragrances, Karen Low products have a limited shelf life. Unopened they typically last 30–36 months from the manufacture date, and the batch code above tells you how old yours already is. After opening, the PAO (open-jar) symbol — e.g. "12M" — is a better guide than any printed expiration date.
