I purchased a ADG bottle from Amazon one time and the metal plate at the bottom fell off. The scent didn’t last but 15-20 minutes. The price was about $100. I contacted the seller and threatened them that I would report them and got my money back. Now I just have the bottle but never use it because it is trash. My advice, if you do purchase a fake, do your best to fight it and also report it. Make them lose money.

I am a fragrance seller on eBay and have been since 2018. More recently there have been more suspiciously low fakes from certain brands. Within the past year, I've began minimally stocking PDM or Roja (and others) because of the competitor fakes with absurdly low pricing. Often these are coming from overseas like, hong kong or russia etc. but some in the US as well. I have found brands that are highly replicated really add to the confusion and make sales a challenge for authentic bottles at for realistic prices. It's unfortunate because it really hurts the sales of legit sellers.

They may be right, I bought it 99% full on eBay 6 months ago and never thought twice about it being fake. The buyer says the bottle is bigger than it should be and it lasts only about 15 to 30 minutes. I look forward to getting the bottle back and seeing if it has a lot of the tell tale signs of it being a fake.

41:33 I usually look at the "honest mark" - a plate from the manufacturer, on the packaging. If the fragrance is unpacked, then you need to know exactly what it looks like (I look at a comparison for each fragrance, the original is a fake). It also helps to look at the batch code, whether the crowding is in the right place and how deep it breaks through, whether it is smooth or not. Each brand has its own chips, it also helps to remove the sprayer, look at the spray bottle and under the lid. Also on the box: on the font, on the embossing from the ears on top of the lid of the box. Reviews are only with photos👍✨I hope this experience will help, even though I write through a translator🤗❤️💯

@denvenom4011 23 дня назад

But now there are also guys who just buy empty bottles of the original and pour this into it. Although this is very rare, because a bottle is not so easy to find, and 40% of bottles can now be refilled. Then you need to look at the spray bottle and the main thing, if there is at least 1% that it is a fake, refuse to purchase. Do not take risks.

This is informative and scary at the same time. I’ve recently bought two fragrances from Amazon. Last year, I bought Bentley Silverlake and this year I got Bvlgari Wood Neroli. I’m now going back and checking the sellers and the fragrances to determine if they were fakes. Thanks Ash.

So now I'm afraid of buying at ebay 😞

That’s the point of the video. Save yourself the hassle and don’t buy into the fake or positive reviews. The discounters are the cheapest and you’re often able to find code to even bring those prices down.

I just saw Sauvage Elixir on eBay for £37. "34 available. 136 sold." smh

I recently found out that they purchase the original empty used bottles, flush in their own fake scents and just change the sprayer, so you can only tell if it smells funny and the sprayer is wonky…

I never buy frags on ebay. I'm not sure why people do that. Why take chances. Amazon I only buy Sold by Amazon shipped by Amazon. Jomashop, Fragbuy CA, FragranceX, LaBelle, Triple Traders or direct thru manufacturers. Other than that the rack stores. If it's too low in price or no name websites stay away.

Thanks for doing this ash and also for not rushing through it. I'd have clones any day over this utter garbage.

@slhines7 24 дня назад

I wonder how the legit sellers are able to determine if the "fakes" are actually "real", especially since some accept returns and resell them. Also, I wonder if there is a list of sites that actually sell fakes. That would be really helpful.

Last week I bought an Initio fragrance from a discounter I've known for years. The price was one hundred and fifty dollars cheaper from the original. The packaging and bottle were perfect but as I sprayed it on my wrist and compared it to a sample I had gotten at a fragrance boutique, I found out the juice was fake. It was so gross I had to wash it off my wrist. Thank goodness the discounter took it back. I once bought a fake Chanel perfume on Ebay but I returned it and the seller refunded me. Etsy and Ebay have a lot counterfeits so be careful.

@GentsScents please keep doing this type of videos as a series. Very helpful to me and others who don't know the little things to look for in a fake. I know ADG Profumo fakes easy, but other I need the knowledge to protect myself.

If not already mentioned, if we as a community report the eBay user (using the report item button) and take a few minutes to detail why it is a fake, then we can make a dent. Some features are obvious from the pictures the user posts to advertise.

@jessiewhite7783 21 день назад

We’re in real trouble when these scammers start using the clones as the juice for their decently packaged fakes. 🤯

One thing you can see here is the wrapping. The plastic wrapper is usually folded differently and with different seams than the original. Another point to check fake vs. real.

@rodolfonavarro4457 24 дня назад

The scammers are now buying empty original bottles, so, be safe out there

@JamesOswalt 23 дня назад

Bravo Ash for being the first influencer/Reviewer to bring this to the community

@stephenworldwide 22 дня назад

There are a few RU-vidrs who have even better videos comparing fakes to originals. Been there for years. Just search "fake aventus", for example.

In the thermoplastics industry it’s called a “parting line” not “fusion point.” Will give you more credibility.

Great video and information for a newbie. Thank you. I was in Spain recently and was looking for a Tom Ford perfume. I strolled into a rather nice looking perfume/collectables shop in Benalmadena and found Tobacco Vanille. It looked fully legit. I was tempted to purchase it, but then saw the price. Around 100 Euros for 100ml, and they were willing to deal. Nope... who knows what's in that bottle. I ended up getting it at duty-free while waiting for my flight. Having not really been into higher-end fragrances, that's a lot to pay, but at least I know that it's real.
