Where to find your Luxury batch code

The Luxury batch code is a short, usually embossed stamp of letters and numbers — never the barcode. Here’s what it looks like on typical packaging (the code is the short embossed stamp, not the long barcode):

The Luxury 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.

About Luxury batch codes

Luxury doesn't publish how its batch codes work, and we have never been able to read one. Under EU rules a batch number doesn't have to contain a date at all. Use the pack instead: a printed "best before end" date, or the PAO open-jar symbol telling you how many months it lasts once opened.

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 Luxury 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 Luxury product is authentic. Buy from Luxury or an authorised retailer, and compare the packaging, print quality and seal with one you know is genuine.

Does Luxury expire?

Yes — like all cosmetics and fragrances, Luxury 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.
