Extractive electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (EESI‐MS) was applied to rapid fingerprinting of various perfumes for quality classification. Unique EESI‐MS fingerprints of ten famous brands were obtained. This technique was shown to be applicable to rapid forgery detection on the example of an authentic and a counterfeit ‘Miss Dior’ fragrance by Christian Dior. We believe that the high throughput and simplicity of this sample‐preparation‐free method can be advantageous in the perfume industry, for instance when applied to online quality control.
