Determination of the age of bottles and Dior codes

The blog raidersofthelostscent except Guerlain decryption codes have information and Dior codes. C Dior difficulties more because until 1994 this house was applied to information on the date of production only at the bottom of the bottle and on the cellophane, and everyone who was holding an old bottle diorovsky knows that cellophane literally crumbles in your hands. But there are signs of support which help to exactly date the bottle.

1 - Barcode

It is known that the bar codes printed on the steel bottles Dior in 1991. By this time the first IFRA restrictions and limitations, so that we can say with certainty that if you Dior without a bar code, the products do not forget to put in it, the formulation does not reduce the price.

2 - Location
Prior to 1991 - 1992 years on the boxes Dior printed address 30 Avenue Hoche, Paris.
After 1993, only 33 Avenue Hoche, Paris.
Between these years could meet the vials and the same time with a different address, then exactly is hard to say.
3 - Logo
Until 2001, the logo was splashed full name Christian Dior, since 2001, it docked to Dior.
4 - Estimated icon (e letter)
Icon Estimated started printing on boxes Dior in 1980. And exactly this icon should not be on the packaging of vials of displacement, multiple ounces (54 ml., 112 ml., 226 ml., Etc.).
This is something that can be understood on the age of the bottle at a casual glance at him. And now for the codes.
It is known that until 1998 were five-digit codes, the first digit indicates the Year. But in order to clarify the decade, need to connect additional ways of determining the age of the head plus.
For example:
8R323 (bar code no address 30 Avenue Hoche) = 1988
4321P (bar code, address 33 Avenue Hoche) = 1994

8R260 - Fahrenheit, 5-digit code, the first 8, the old address 30 Avenue Hoche, the absence of a bar code - 1988.

Fahrenheit 1988
Another example:
Code 723R for the vial Christian Dior Poison. It is understood that it may not be 1957, 1967, 1977, because Poison released in 1985. Remain the 1987 and 1997 th. Then look for the presence of a bar code (remember, he appeared in th 1991). No? Then just 1987 minutes.

7473J - 5-digit code, but there is a bar code = 1997
And the example of Diorelloy, which, for example, there is generally no codes displacement 216 ml., Address 30 Avenue Hoche, year of creation Diorelly 1972 th. Just do not say anything here, but you can certainly say that this bottle was produced in the interval 1972 - 1980 years.

Old address, barcode not, then exactly until 1991
With the codes prior to 1988 is not known exactly, only conjecture, but after 1998, all simple and clear. In 1998-2007, Dior 4-digit codes, which is always the first number, the second letter of the first half of the alphabet (A - M) in addition to the letter I, which is similar to figure 1.
The figure refers to the year, the letter - a month.

Fahrenheit in August 1998
8Axx = 1998 January
8Bxx = February 1998
8Cxx = March 1998
8Dxx = April 1998
8Exx = May 1998
8Fxx = June 1998
8Gxx = July 1998
8Hxx = August 1998
8Jxx = September 1998
8Kxx = October 1998
8Lxx = November 1998
8Mxx = 1998 December.
In 1999, therefore, the figure is 9: 9Axx = 1999 January
In December 2007, the code is type: 7Mxx.

0T02 = June 2010-the year
Since 2008, the codes formed by the same principle, only use the second half of the alphabet except for the letters O, which can be confused with zero.
8Nxx = 2008 January
8Pxx = 2008 February
8Qxx = 2008 March
8Rxx = 2008 April
8Sxx = 2008 May
8Txx = June 2008 and so on.
On more ancient times is no information there.
