Puig
Carolina Herrera batch code checker
Carolina Herrera fragrances have been made by Puig since the first one in 1988 — Puig took the beauty licence in 1987 and bought the fashion house in 1995 — so unlike many designer houses there is no change of maker to untangle. Puig has never published its code, but its bottles carry the same five digits as Rabanne and Jean Paul Gaultier, and the first is the year: Very Good Girl bottles photographed in 2025 and 2026 carry 2024 and 2025 codes. We read the year from that layout and nothing finer; six-digit gift-set codes are a different layout.

Fragrances from other houses are picked because they share main accords with the best-known Carolina Herrera fragrances. They are different perfumes, not copies.
Where Carolina Herrera prints the code
On the base of the bottle and on the box.
What the characters mean
Five digits, as on Puig's other houses: the last digit of the year, the day of the year, then a fill-line digit (41271 is a 2024 bottle). Six-digit gift-set codes such as 508111 are a different layout and are not dated.

Carolina Herrera batch code questions
Is a Carolina Herrera code the same as a Rabanne or Gaultier one?
On the bottles we have checked, yes: all three houses are Puig's and print the same five digits — the year's last digit, the day of the year and a fill-line digit. Gift sets can carry a six-digit code instead, which follows some other system and which we do not date.
A website says my Good Girl was made on a certain date — should I trust it?
Treat it as a guess. Puig has not published how its codes work, so any date a decoder site gives for a Carolina Herrera bottle comes from its own reconstruction. One owner reports a site telling them their gift-set bottle came out in May 2025 — which may well be right, but nothing outside Puig can confirm it.
Can a batch code tell me a Carolina Herrera bottle is real?
No. Fakes exist and often reuse real codes, so a code can raise a flag but never clear a bottle. A mismatch between box and bottle codes is a warning sign, not proof. Buying from an authorised retailer is the only check the brands themselves endorse.
Same scheme, other houses
These brands sit under Puig and stamp their bottles the same way, so if you can read one you can read them all.

Try it before you commit
Checking a batch code is usually a way of asking whether a bottle is worth the money. A decant answers that on your own skin, poured from a bottle whose source we log — no marketplace gamble, no full-bottle regret.
