I hope someone can help to clear up my doubts on the issue of "original defect/rejected perfumes".

There are many Malaysian sites selling such perfumes. These online sellers have been in business for years, their businesses & customers feedbacks are darn good. Their sites have similar explanations on what "original defect/rejected perfumes" really are :-

[ Rejects can occur in the factory and also during or after sale...
1) AFTER SHIPPING REJECT- after shipping reject is one of the common rejects for all products. In most cases, it will only effect the packing (box) but not the bottle. Since people won’t buy any defect items at the counters as customers only demand for the perfect item even with the box, this rejected item will end up at the warehouse. Another reason why our products have no boxes...
2) FACTORIES REJECT- it would be impossible to produce products without reject. Most company (factory) only achieve 99.8% yield (output) where 0.2% is rejected e.g. 99.8%x1000000 = 998000 bottles. The rest are rejected (2000 bottle). Why they are rejected? It could be Scratches, wrong branding etc. These reject will never be thrown away. They have their own vendor for disposal. Since there are so many manufacturers for brand of perfumes, it will be enough for people like us to trade them... Factory reject outlet is no longer strangers among us anymore. Their stores are everywhere. Nike, Levis, Ralph Lauren and lots more branded items are selling there. Are they selling fake item? No, they are original and customer has no doubt at all. But it had been sold with lower price as they are rejected... ]

And the prices are unbelievably cheap. I picked up some examples from 1 of the sites:-

[ For Ladies :-
CHANEL NO 5 EDP 100ML - RM160
CHANEL CHANCE EDP 100ML - RM160
DIOR ADDICT 2 EDT 100ML - RM180
HUGO BOSS DEEP RED EDP 90ML - RM160
ISSEY MIYAKE FOR HER EDT 100ML - RM160
MISS DIOR CHERIE EDT 100ML - RM170

For Men:-
ANGEL FOR MEN STEEL FLASK EDT 100ML - RM180
AQUA DI GIO EDT 100ML - RM160
ARMANI CODE SPORT EDT 75ML - RM170
CAROLINA HERRERA 212 MEN EDT 100ML - RM160
CHANEL ALLURE HOMME SPORT EDT 100ML - RM160
ISSEY MIYAKE FOR MEN EDT 125ML - RM170
JPG LE MALE TESTER EDT 125ML - RM160
PACO RABANNE ONE MILLION EDT 100ML - RM180 ]

And there are other sites selling at cheapers prices (range of RM120-130 & even at RM100 on so-called Sales Promo).

A Chanel for ladies for about 60% less than the OTC price?? And some selling Chanel & Dior for men at RM130 ??

Are these "original defect/rejected perfumes" really exit or merely Replica/Grade AAA/Fakes ???

Frankly, I dont mind having original testers or even defected bottles as long as the juices are original. But i would be blardy pissed to get Replica/Grade AAA/Fakes. Thats the worst thing that could happened.

I like its versatility,wearable at any occasions & anytime of the day & nite.Probably most versatile of the TM range.The scent is classy,feels uplifted when wearing it & a crowd-pleaser too

Its definitely safe site,had good experiences with it.Prices are good,shipping cost capped at USD15,but many stuff there also more expensive even than our OTC price,eg.Chanel is much cheaper at our place:)

1 sold on 1st day i posted here, & 1 more available:)

Ya,i saw few at local airports too but that was some time ago...went back to look for it but all sold off.Humans tend to look & treasure something when it's not available & become rare item,haha.

As far as I know,that's the address and contact num for Luxasia (M) Sdn Bhd,the distributor of fragrance like CK,Issey Miyake,JPG,Bvlgari,Davidoff,etc. Never knew there's a distributor named Coty (M) Sdn Bhd. Sounds fishy :-/

Yalo. Many still thought they getting the lifetime perfume deal. Stay away from so-called rejected original perfumes cos they are not genuine at all. 100% not worth your bucks. Invest wisely on genuine quality juice.
It has been cold nites at my place for last couple mths, so really drooling myself especially with L'instant de Guerlain Extreme. Simply a superduperlicious masterpiece !

I have bought >10 bottles of perfume fr FragranceX since end of 2011 via 4 shipments - 3 of them USPS 1st class mail & 1 using DHL courier.Apparently msian buyer has no option to choose for courier service & shipping method is selected by "system"...so the DHL courier was a unexpected bonus (I received the parcel less than 2 weeks).I have no issue on shipping costs since i would buy 2-3 bottle for each shipments & the cost would average out to be RM20+ per bottle & it's even better now with worldwide free shipping offer which I enjoyed in my last 2 shipments.Delivery time was also satisfactory & i had received the shipments around 3 weeks+ from order date...and I noticed from the Customs Stamp on the parcel that it reached KLIA & cleared by Customs around 8-11 days fr US. I'm fr Kuching so it takes few days before sent to kch & another few days to be processed by local Pos Msia & Customs I did enconter problem in my 4th shipment which I didn't receive even after 2 mths+ & after running around Pos Msia few times & many emails with FragranceX, it agreed to credit my a/c with the amount that I incurred in the "lost" shipmt & i received the replacemt order in 3 weeks+ time. Both myself & my contact at local Pos Msia suspected the lost parcel was "taken" in KLIA. Anyway, using USPS 1st class mail, the tracking num can only show when it is shipped out of US & there's no tracking facility & record thereafter (unlike DHL courier) ,ie.i won't know the next destination until my contact at local Pos Msia calls me. So,one can consider this a "risk". Personaly,I would order again if free shipping offer continues & of course if the perfume price is gd.
I haven't ordered from Strawbery.net but I hav ordered once just 3
mths from its related merchant called "onlineshoppingX" for TM Pure Malt.Happy with that as I received the bottle well-packed within 3 weeks.

Hi bro, what are your 2 failed impulsive blind buys? Who knows, maybe you will like them after few more tries on diferent occassions?

Oh, these 2 bad boys ! haha. No doubt high quality juices but i agree with u...thats why they are not in my buy-list after tasted them...nearly done so for CDG & I may change my mind soon.hehe. I totally dont dig body kouros but CDG keeps playing tricks on my mind...& skin too, haha. I dont like the submerged in spices kinda thing & yet its a intriguing, dreamy albeit weird scent. I can imagine if i ever (i repeat, ever) buy it, i would ONLY wear it on a cold rainy day/nite, haha. Impulsive indeed u to do a blind buy on this, haha.

LOL. Evil frangranceX pula. Yup, their prices are truly irresistible, thats why its 1 of my main perfume suppliers...controlled-impulsive one la, haha. Will purchase from them soon & to pick few from my next consider-to-buy list of CK 1 Shock, Hanae Mori EDT, Bogart PH, Michael Kors, Animale x2, Guerlain Heritage, Boucheron's Jaipur & of course CDG ) Need to look out for budget allocation for each round.

My UBAH scent for today : Givenchy Play Intense
