  • @jazz_bob_90
    @jazz_bob_90 4 года назад +1

    Thanks for the comparison, though I have to say that I just recently purchased Nisean on Notino (Germany) and everything seems to be original, but the relief on the bottle isn't as clear as on my bottle of Percival. I don't think it's a fake, but it seems plausible that older bottles weren't made with the same precision as newer ones. (Even though I had purchased Percival before Nisean it has a much higher batch code and must be newer.)
    It would be helpful to know, if other people can draw the same comparison.

    Hope you are well and safe. Have you ever run into this before? I was recommended to a guy who does decants by a FB group I am a member of..
    The first time I ordered, I got 3 different PDM and 2 Mancerea Fragrances. All of them were great . Long lasting juice and decants were very nice with metal caps and atomizers, that sprayed really nice. I decided to place a second order because I was so impressed. My 2nd order was 2 different batches of Aventus and a decant of Bleu De Chanel Parfum. This time, they came with plastic tops and plastic, not so good atomizers. Both Aventus batched are fair at most and last on my skin about 1 hour. The Bleu De Chanel Parfum, smells terrible and lasts on my skin about 30-45 minutes. Just curious if you think this is a bait and switch, or if you ever ran into this type of situation before.

      Walmart online has third party sellers, so I wouldn’t trust those listings. Probably the same people selling the fakes on all the other sites.

    Atomizer/nozzle is white and not black.

    The bottle looks like it has a slightly “fatter” belly of the original and on the bottom of the fake I immediately noticed the grooves on either side, that line protruding in the middle on both the upper and lower, and the inner circle around the sticker looks much more noticeable whereas on the original it’s a bit more smoothened. Also, the cap is a dead giveaway, the fonts are completely different, the real is “Times Roman” and the fake looks like “Sans” and the letters are crammed on the fake. Thanks for this Steve, this is definitely something to look out for, even on Facebook groups

    8:23 Got me a bit worried now, about the bottle of Layton I bought last week. As soon as I took it out of the box I was struck by how poorly embossed the lettering was, in both the shield, and even worse on the main lettering near the bottom-front. It's almost flat at the "...MS De M" and the "Paris" below that. The bottle cap is heavy, solid metal, but the inside doesn't look like yours, and the tiny vapouriser hole is white. The juice itself certainly seems genuine. Oily on the skin, smells fantastic, and lasts hours.

    A thing that is going on lately, crooks come up with a new type of packaging, bottle is the same but the box looks and opens up book style (it's called "special edition")
    Also, there are already fakes on the market of fragrances that don't even exist yet (like Dior Sauvage Intense or Dior Sauvage Sport).

So if they want to make money, they must choose a popular perfume that most people like so much, like aventus, black afgano, suavage and... so my point is: if you intend to buy perfumes like i mentioned above..you must be extra careful and also buy it from a reliable website or boutique.

You might want to check with PdM, orientation of that printing might not have anything to do with it being original vs. fake. That would be quite easy for the fakers to replicate well after all. My bottle is 75 ml though.
    In any case lot # on mine is 0300035, and I'm quite disappointed with the longevity. After 2+ hours it's way too close to the skin, pretty much gone. I double checked spraying from a bottle in a local store onto a paper strip, it's the exact same scent, and the same short disappointing longevity.

    I’m lucky enough to never have got a fake but I did buy 2 CDIM over Amazon here in aus & both bottles leaked at the top & they both ran out so fast . I don’t know if they were full to the top either because with the CDIM you can’t see how much juice is inside :(

      No they are not. Do some research on how fragrancex sells for their prices. Typically they are for other markets who have lower prices

    Thank you for making this video. I've got cheated at least 3x from local insta seller. In my case all are designer fragrances. The first 2 bottles I can tell it was fake even before opening the box. The box overall look and of course the juice insides when i finally spritz it (I know how these 2 smells, but how about buyer that dont know how the original smell in the 1st place?) the other purchase from different seller, the box, the bottles all seems very legit, untill i try it on. Tresor line usually last and last and last and last. This one gone after 5mins, also what scary is this seller have fake Macy's sticker on the box. Both of this sellers have thousands of followers in insta and tons of good reviews... This is getting out of control.

    I blind bought a bottle of Herod from Fragrancex recently and was kind of taken aback by how light it smelled. I haven't sampled the original and I plan to head to the PDM boutique in Manhattan whenever covid passes, but having watched/read a ton of reviews it seems to smell like everyone is describing. I get the semi-medicinal cherry note, I get the incense and tobacco, but it seems very weak to me. At first I chalked it up to the fact that I'd been wearing Layton as a signature scent for weeks and since they both share some of the same notes, maybe I had become anosmic to the those and was only able to detect the notes that were unique to Herod, but this video has piqued my curiosty. I also noticed that the little black and gold pamphlet that comes in PDM boxes looked strangely faded. The cap seems to weigh about as much as the cap from my bottle of Layton which is for sure authentic, but after watching a few of these reviews I've gotten curious. Fragrancex seems to have a pretty stellar reputation in the community as far as authenticity goes. I'm wondering if these new fakes were decent enough to fool them too. Even watching this video it's kind of tough to discern the difference side by side. Unfortunately I'm out of state riding out the pandemic with family and my bottle is back in NYC so I can't compare it to the video atm, but I can't wait to get back home and see. Figure I'll just take it to the PDM boutique and ask them myself.

    I got scammed once buying Paco Rabanne One Million Prive, the bottle actually had visible glue where the front was attached. I tried to return it and the ebay seller was no longer listed. Recently I bought some Creed Aventus. I found some listings in the $200 dollar range, and I decided I wasn't going to take a chance with something that expensive so I just paid full price from the Creed site.

    I just got a Kalan from Aura fragrance. There's no line in the center edge of the bottle it's diagonal if you look straight down on cap across red part. Also the atomizer is white not black. Lid is heavy but inside there's a circle dead center inside lid but you can't see it outside. Also the gray plastic insert is off center. Batch code on bottom is straight across or horizontal. 3 looks really good. Liquid is way above horses head. Card board stamp inside black insert inside box looks bad. Part that lid sticks up out of is folded over. Outside box looks really good. Kalan isn't printed on front of bottle. Silver atomizer is scratched up a bit.

    Hmmm, my Herod seems a lot like the fake except for the cap weight and nozzle color. It has a bit of ill-defined writing and the batch code is parallel. I bought it from FragranceNet though?

      Jack Class I thought they did too, it’s just that my Herod shares some similarities to the fake presented here. The longevity with my bottle is not an issue. I sprayed it once while watching this video yesterday and I can still smell it when I enter my bedroom today.

  • @swoosh94
    @swoosh94 4 года назад

    Great idea to raise awareness for this! Just to further what you said on the bottle batch codes - the orientation doesn't have a bearing on if its fake or authentic, as mine is horizontal at the bottom of the sticker. Otherwise I've got a superb smelling, kong lasting, niche quality fake that has an identical bottle to your real one! Haha

    My new layton i just bought has every signs that it is real, but the color of the spray nozzle is white... I also have herod and there the spray nozzle is black... I purchased herod at official retailer a while ago (in store) ... Should i be worried about the spray nozzle being white ?? Can someone confirm this please ? Batch code on the layton is 013901, Thx in advance...

    • @dasgstehtfurgeil3288
      @dasgstehtfurgeil3288 4 года назад

      The spray nozzle on my Layton is white as well and it'a a real one for sure. I think only on Herod it's supposed to be black (maybe some others as well, not Layton though) to match the sprayer. Hope this could help you and if you're still in doubt just order a sample of the respective fragrance and compare the scent.
