We’d like to point your attention to a typical problem regarding which we got some complains: perfume produced in 1992 is determined as produced in 2012, or perfume produced in 2001 considered as produced in 2011.
Unfortunately this problem can’t be easily solved, but have quite simple explanation. In some batch codes only one digit is used to indicate the year of production. I.e. digit 2 can mean 2012, or 2002, or even 1992 etc. Such batch codes are reused each ten years.

Finally, thank you all who helped with this update and participated in it directly or indirectly. Many thanks to all who reported problems and shared information.

Unfortunately we had to remove several brands support due to Copyright Owner’s requests. Some of them consider batch number information as a completely internal, some mentioned that data is incomplete and must be removed.

Thanks to everybody who helped us in finding and verifying the information.

We got new information related to Shiseido batch codes format and need some time to process it. We also found several inconsistencies between new data and information we already have. Such way, we decided to stop Shiseido support temporary until we can get the full picture.
