That's quite scary..how to differentiate between real and fake perfumes without looking at the price?Because some might not know what the real price is. Perhaps the smell of it? Wouldn't want to end up buying a fake perfume, and like u said, get skin issues later. But that's not to say real, authentic perfumes wouldn't make someone get skin issues too right?

original fragrance will only caused skin issues due to the wearer's own skin sensitivity issue towards certain ingredients used,and when a lot of people complain about their skin issues to the health authorities,those ingredients will be banned and many fragrance will be discontinued or reformulated,with fakes there are no guidelines to whatever they wanna put in the bottle,they can add in tap water or anything without you knowing it.i think i mentioned these problems for fakes previously.just dont buy and use any 'rejected/our version of.../grade a,aa,aaa' perfume.to be honest its really hard to know if its a fake or real because fakes nowadays can be imitated almost exactly the same.i brought a fake bottle with matching code on the box and bottle,almost identical smell,to 3 departmental stores for an experiment,and all said no problem with the bottle,its original.... rclxub.gif most fakes will have similar opening smell only so that when you sniff the opening,you will think its original,so one of the way is to wait for the middle notes and dry down and compare it with the original,but really troublesome.the price actually plays a big part in differentiating them too,if it's too cheap to be true,buy at your own risk and be prepared that its fake then if you really wanna get it

So original fragrance is more safe to wear since there is regulation right? And so do all department stores in Jusco etc. sell original perfumes only? Because sometimes it's hard to compare fakes with original,what if it's the first time using a particular perfume, and there is no confirmed original perfume to compare with

if you buy from departmental store like jusco or parkson,99.9% are original,but i have heard before that one sales assistant replace an original bottle with a fake one,this happened at a chanel counter.
yes its very hard to tell them apart,but the chanel bleu i shown,the writing on the box is a lil different from the real box.sometimes check the sprayer and the tube and you can tell if its fake

Why the hell did the sale assistant do that? Anyway good to know that department stores always sell original perfumes only smile.gif And by the way, like ethusis said, u are like a master in perfume biggrin.gif By the way, I see that Jusco or Parkson only sell typical big brands like Chanel, Boss,correct me if I'm wrong, but it's been a long time since I visited the perfume section of Jusco/Parkson smile.gif I would like to try smelling Issey Miyake's perfumes, are there any places in Klang Valley that sell's his range?

why not??assuming i am the SA,i buy a fake one for under rm50, sell the original one which i have just replaced with the fake one,sell it for rm200 let say,i make a profit of rm150,more than my commission for selling a bottle of legit perfume.the purpose of replacing it is so that the stocks that they keep under the counter tally with the sales they made,they cant just "steal" a bottle without replacing the real one with a fake one,then its obvious 1 bottle is missing

I have heard of that. I even heard of a luxury brand's SA doing the same. I bet some of you have heard of a group of a premium airline's stewardess exchanged original luxury goods with fake one on a plane, and sold those original goods at ebay. It came out in the news before.

Working today too. Scent of the day, Pure Havane.
Today I tried spraying on fabric instead of skin. Damn, it is a beast when sprayed on fabric. I guess my skin just reduces the strength.

Scent of the day - Creed's Original Vetiver, and I am not working today.

Btw, anyone put on fragrance even when you are at home, not going anywhere? I know I am.
