Brand Authenticity: How to Identify The Authentic Brand

As the original creator of The Queen of Fragrances Brand®, established in 2000, I want to ensure my loyal customers receive the high-quality, authentic luxury perfume experience they deserve. With the rise of unauthorized resellers and 'copycat' websites, please use this guide to ensure you are shopping with the official source.

1. The Official Website  There is only one official online home for our luxury perfume house:

Official URL: queenoffragrances.com

Tip: Always check the address bar for the correct spelling. Scammers often use slight variations (e.g., 'queen-of-fragrance' or 'queenfragrances.net').

**PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE COPYCAT WEBSITE PRETENDING as "LADY MARMALADE PERFUME".  THEY ARE FAKE.   Because we are an independent, boutique fragrance rather than a mass-market designer brand, it isn't readily available at major department store websites.  Our products are ONLY available on this website, queenoffragrances.com.  Our world-wide distributors are in agreement NOT TO SELL OUR PRODUCTS ON THE INTERNET, only at select and exclusive venues, in-store.  We are AUTHENTIC Creole Lady Marmalade Perfume by The Queen of Fragrances Brand®, Located in New Orleans, Louisiana. We are the authentic fragrance from NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA --   NOT SALTWORKS !!!

2. Verified Founder Branding  Authentic products and communications will always feature our founder’s name: Thelma Haywood.

The Signature: Look for 'Thelma Haywood | The Queen of Fragrances Brand®' on our packaging and official correspondence.

The Heritage: We are a US-based, independent artisanal boutique. Any site claiming to be us but operating without mention of Thelma Haywood or our 2000 release of our first signature scent, Fantasy, is not authentic.

3. Luxury Packaging Standards:  We pride ourselves on couture craftsmanship. Authentic Queen of Fragrances perfumes feature:

High-Grade Materials: Sturdy, premium-weight boxes and smooth, high-quality glass bottles.

Precision Printing: Sharp, flawless typography and logos. If the printing is blurry or has misspellings, it is a counterfeit.

Secure Caps: Our caps are designed to fit perfectly and securely.

4. Scent Longevity & Complexity:  The 'heart' of our brand is our complex, layered formulations inspired by Pacific Island botanicals and Creole heritage.

Evolution: Authentic luxury perfume evolves on the skin over 6–8 hours, moving from top notes to heart and base notes.

Warning: Copycat scents often have a harsh, alcoholic opening and fade completely within 1–2 hours.

5. Authorized Price Point:  As a luxury house using rare tropical oils and small-batch production, our prices reflect our quality. If you see our signature scents (like Plumeria or Passion Fruit Sorbet) offered at 'too good to be true' discounts (e.g., 70-90% off) on third-party marketplaces, they are likely dangerous imitations.

Questions about your bottle? If you have purchased a product and are unsure of its origin, please Contact Us directly with your order number or a photo of the batch code on the bottom of your bottle.
