Counterfeited perfumes were a big problem in the past. It can be again a danger if you intend to buy a vintage (rare) perfume and might have the surprise to find something from the past. The first picture is about the many efforts done in the 50's in USA to stop the invasion of those products. Chanel No5 and Soir de Paris were among the most counterfeited perfumes.
Others had the idea to translate this fact into a perfume. Here you have Contraband by Tussy. Was it a floral aldehydic? No idea. Look at the design of the packaging. It was Jean Paul Gaultier Fragile avant la lettre :)
