What is a Dior batch code and why does it matter?
The Dior batch code is a numeric sequence (sometimes with letters) engraved or printed on the bottom of the bottle or box. It’s used to:
- Find the exact year of production
- See if a bottle is vintage, new or reformulated
- Verify authenticity before buying or selling
- Understand the real collector value
VIPER Tip:
Always keep the original box and take detailed photos! The differences between real and fake are often tiny: labels, codes, print, cap... Automatic tools cannot spot these: only manual expert verification can.

Historical facts & curiosities about Dior batch codes
- In the 1980s and 90s Dior produced both in France and Germany: some rare batches show small differences in batch codes, now highly sought after by collectors.
- There are real “factory errors”: out-of-sequence or misprinted batches that made some bottles vintage rarities.
- The legendary Poison Dior was one of the first perfumes to be widely counterfeited in the 1990s: since then, the Maison has continually innovated batch code and security systems.
- In 2022, a vintage Diorissimo with a historic batch code was auctioned for over €800 due to its rarity and perfect preservation.
- Dior regularly updates its batch code system: for many fans, finding an anomaly is almost like detective work.
Decode your Dior batch code now
You can use the service even without registering. If in doubt, choose manual Dior decoding and get advice from a real expert (you can also send photos).
Beware of erased or barely legible codes:
On very old or poorly stored Dior bottles, the batch code may be worn away. With the manual service, sending detailed photos, we can often trace the era or spot suspicious anomalies.
