Hi All,

Wanna ask all fragrance expert here, can i come into conclusion that a fragrance is genuine as long as it meet the following:
-batch code same within the box and bottle
-No any defect on the bottle itself
-Batch code can be check and found online

Reason being was i recently purchase a fragrance from a shop in one of the shopping mall.
Fragrance i brought was Dior Homme Sport.
It was damn damn darn CHEAP!!! RM 150 for any 2 fragrance, so i end up getting this Dior Homme Sport on RM 75 only.

This price got lead me to suspect it was fake, or not genuine.
The box seem like a bit different with current Dior Homme Sport packaging. Not sure is it old version.
The only downside i notice was the cap was very loose.
But i check those details/batch code it seem all fine, the fragrance was manufacture on 2011-10.

I even got test this out on my skin, it longevity was considered superb for a sport fragrance, even though i need to over apply it. But it last 8 hours ++.
The smell should be the same as per ori, i got smell the tester at Sephora once, from my nose it should be same.

So it seem like a good deal for me and is a genuine product, but since i am still new in this, so wanna get some thoughts with all guru here  laugh.gif

anyway its coming to 5yrs old... from what i see most manufacturers start having warehouse clearance sales for stuff thats getting close to 3yrs.
so 5yrs is abit of a stretch and probably extreme clearance tongue.gif

But my understanding if a fragrance was kept good, it still in good condition even it after the fragrance expired date.
And somemore nowadays lot of frangrance get reformulated until water down, so usually ppl will tend to get the vintage version?

i didnt have a chance to test the newer version of Dior Homme sport, but i definitely like what i purchased. STill a good bargain even if not authentic drool.gif

im just saying from what i notice during warehouse sales only...never said it couldnt be used still.
i also got a couple of bottles 6-7yrs old.

anyone here using the bath & body works cologne?

the other day i walked by the outlet in the curve, sprayed a little of the noir and one other that wasnt so memorable
...noir not bad...no surprises for what its meant to emulate...quite decent longetivity too.
just a little pricey at rm199...seeing as the online store lists them at usd34.50.

maybe tmr i go back spray some others and see how tongue.gif

Been wanting to buy this for quite a while....so yesterday bite the bullet and bought the 125ml bottle and today I am a very happy man with not a single sense of regret. This is a fantastic scent with similarities to the original BUT made stronger and more mature with the added incense base. This suits me more now c/w the original since age has been catching up hehe. Wearing this makes me fantasize of being on a luxury yacht riding the waves slowly whilst sipping a cool glass of lemonade  biggrin.gif

Am sure quite a number of you guys have this and enjoying the compliments it gets.

i have this also...but it doesnt seem to last that long on my skin / about the same as the original...maybe 2-3hrs tops.
but still smells slightly better than original...
lucky only 125ml bottle...can finish it faster tongue.gif

Long story short, I bought from him a bottle quite long ago, but have yet to receive the item. In between there were inquiries of delivery status and he would always update me, but till recently he's not replying my multiple request for updates.

Are you able to reach out to him? I'm sure he's still around, but not sure of the reason for not replying me.

my best guess is hes transfered the business to someone else.
lowyat and instagram account inactive, website gone since 10th sep...
but fb is still active.

Yes I'm aware of his inactivity in lowyat recently, as well as his activity on fb (there're 2 of them, only 1 remains active). I contacted him via whatsapp all this while, but latest effort to reach out to him did not get through. Any advice on how I should proceed here?

well, try to contact whoever runs that active fb?
