How To Spot A FAKE BACCARAT ROUGE 540 | I was SCAMMED with a FRAUDULENT Perfume 

I was also duped and it boggles my mind that it smells SO MUCH like the real thing. To go through that much trouble to get the scent right and then mess up the "J" is hilarious!

I’m so glad you got your money back; I don’t like paying full price for some of these super expensive fragrances but sometimes it’s best to just go to the actual site/store. Which I don’t always do! ❤️

Thank you for this amazing life saving video! I bought a bottle of Baccarat Rouge 540 EDP from a third party but wanted to make sure it is 100% real. OMG I am super lucky to come across this vid and right away noticed that the J lettering is exactly how you described! Although the B cursive lettering had a slight gap and the rest of the font was vaguely similar but upon checking on the real website, it is not the same. The fake one was slightly thicker. I quickly called the seller, canceled the purchase and got my refund. I was still in shocked! The fake was so close to real I wouldn't have noticed it myself. Thank you Parfume Realm!! Please post real vs. fake occasionally to help us perfume lovers to avoid this disgusting scams. Thanks! xoxo...

I’m so sorry that happened to you but I’m glad you chose to share it with us!!

This video was very informative Manahil ❤️ And don’t feel bad it can happen to anyone and this fake was sooo good! I mean damn!

Thank you. Just received my bottle. The scent was the first sign it was fake then I realised the J was as you described to be fake. I sprayed it on my sleeve and instantly felt sick. Had to shower and throw everything outside. Who knows what is in that bottle but it has now been an hour since my shower and I still feel unwell. Thanks so much for your video. x

Thank you for turning your purchase tragedy into something that can help others on future online transaction disaster.. and it’s good they gave you a refund... i was nearly temped in ebay but still hesitant to do so😊

Oh no , I wana hear this (I was just watching baccarat vids because I wana gift myself the extrait for Xmas 😍-- by the way FIRST 😏❤️

Thank you so much, you have helped me so much as I was going to buy the Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait for myself and I looked at my sisters BR540 and I asked the seller on ebay to send me pics everything checked out but what was a give away was the b on the bottle it has a loop on my sisters bottle and the fake one was like a full b with no loop, i swear these fakes are getting really good at what they do and it won't be long for them to sort the b with a loop and then we'll have no chance at all to find out if the one we're getting is genuine or not, BTW shoutout from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Just discovered your channel! love it! I was also scammed with Coco Noir and a couple others it's so annoying!

I got one like that today. Just did requested to return and refund. Thank you so much. Subscribed you already. You are life saver.

I’m gonna DM you in the morning when I wake my site I had planned to get it from 😓 to see what you think . This video came just in time !

I'm so happy you got your money back! I was just warring with myself on whether or not to plop down such a ridiculous amount (but also REALLY want this particular scent!😁) and I was so close to buying one on an ebay for 150., which I woke up to find I'd been outbid! Now I'm wondering if I dodged a bullet! I'm either going to break down and spend the money or POSSIBLY try the baccarat 540 hair mist for 75$ or the oil which was 80$(Both at Neimans, btw!)❤Thanks for looking out!✌

Thank you for sharing this hun....I’m surprised 😮 very difficult to spot!

So what about the batch code? Is there any b.c under the bottle and also under the box?

I just purchased one from Mercari, now I’m sooooo nervous. It hasn’t come in the mail yet I I will definitely take a close look at the things you pointed out. Thanks for the video

Hi I got my bottle without the booklet but everything else seems original and the longetivity is really good. Might be the one someone returned ?

I almost purchased a bottle on EBay for $90 but I changed my mind. It didn’t feel right. I purchased a 4ML for $27 and now I’m wondering about that . Thank you for sharing

I’m glad you received a refund! Thank you for sharing! I’m thinking to purchase this perfume but I’ll buy from original website.

I'm sorry love 😔 i would have been sooooooo mad!! I remember seeing your Instagram post about this.

Omg lm sorry about your experience. At least you got your refund. eBay is hit or miss with perfumes. I usually get the really cheap ones there that are probably not worth faking...but who knows, scammers will sell anything for a quick buck. New friend here. Got your link of Tara. Just turned on notifications 🥰🥰🥰

Thanks for sharing this... I have a bottle of BR540 waiting for me at home... I will definitely rewatch this video while I check mine 😅

Thank you for this video!!!! So informative

I own 2 of these. I never had any second thoughts about my unit as people could feel the sillage even If I was not around them but after watching this video I juz rushed to my closet with my heart pumping and inspected everything and found that my bottles are original and everything you said in video comparing the original bottle was true. Lady you just gave me a hard time which was worth it. Kudos ✌️

I just had my own very first bad experience on Ebay. The seller listed the wrong price and reneged on the sale after I won the auction and paid for the item. She contacted me saying she was going to cancel the order saying that 'Ebay' made a mistake and wasn't supposed to sell at that price. After two days of waiting to receive cancellation confirmation, I checked her profile and saw that she had listed the same item for sale without cancelling my order and actually had the gall to ask me to initiate cancellation! The most jarring thing about this experience was that even though she was clearly wrong she refused take responsibility and her conviction that she did no wrong therefore had zero remorse. It makes my blood boil

That's the absolute WORST! But trust me, a Good Deal will Forever Cloud My Judgement as I love a Good Deal 🙈😩 But this was bang out of Order.. Imagine going through all that struggle to make a fake Perfume? They should be using the timebto make their own 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄Glad you got your money back... Hopefully this will help people out ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Did you check the batch code of it before you ordered it?

So sorry. It seems like it happens more often currently, but I may be wrong. I can only imagine that the Covid crisis aggravated people s financial situation and they try to „get it back“ from innocent customers...when I buy more costly stuff now I try to make sure that I can get my money back in case. It s worth to spend a bit more money at the beginning for security reasons...it took me some bad experiences to come to this conclusion.

I try to purchase from the same seller; however, my last purchase of Gucci Bloom was definitely fake. I told them it didnt seem authentic. They offered for me to keep the one I had and send another, but I asked for my money back. I compared everything and all seem to check out until I smelled it, didn't last longer than 5 mins. Great informative video.

Wow . This makes me feel like I’m just going to spend my £300 and buy it straight from their website 😒😓 such SMALL differences !!!!

Oh no! I remember when this happened 😖. Too be fair, Baccarat Rouge 540 is sooo bizarre it had me contemplating MY baccarat that I bought for full priced at Sak’s because I was initially anosmic. It’s great that Ebay stepped in, makes me even more open to buying from them, but obviously not without caution.

But it still smells the same right? That's the problem.

Where can I get it

oh no, I recently ordered one on Ebay! I guess my fake is coming soon lol Did you do a dispute on Ebay?

How about the box? Does the J and B on the box have the same problem?

What does the atomizer look like

Where are u buying these fake bottles from ?

eBay quite honestly scares me. I like niche houses and it tempts me to get a discounted deal but I stick to reputable discounted suppliers that I’m familiar with and the actual official websites.

I just bought it, and discovered it was fake. The main question is. The smell seems the same, what is the difference of the actual juice? Thanks you very much for your video

I am sorry this happened to you, but at least you got your money back. I get ansomic to it too, I think a lot of people do. I was at the dr's office and someone about 5 feet away from me could smell it and I couldn't smell it at all. I find that if I don't wear it a lot I can smell it, but if I wear it two days in a row, I can't smell it after about a half hour, which isn't so bad - at least the bottle will last longer! I think you can get it for a better price at the MFK website - just a thought. Take care, Ginny 😘😘😘

Waiting for mine, just bought, thanks so much for the detailed info

There is a lot of mimicking happening for sure! Great idea to share.🌞

Thank you so much for your video!!!! You just saved me from buying fake product.

You should link the seller so more people dont make the same mistake!! 🤷‍♀️

omg this is awful, I'm so glad you got a refund! Very helpful video thanks for sharing your experience

...i’m sorry to hear that.😢 Anyway, where did it came from ? Is it from Russian Federation? Did you check the batch code, it has 5 degits to be exact and they’re engraved at the bottom of the bottle.

Unbelievable!!! Thanks for posting this.

Thanks just saved me from buying a fake..it was the J and cursive B that helped me see its fake....the opening was like the real one but it didn't last long as the scent faded quick

Thank you very much for this video!

This exact same thing JUST happened to me. Everything checked out except the fragrance. As someone who owns the oil, lotion and has been using this fragrance for so long I was extremely disappointed. This e bay seller had great reviews and was listed in the US, however this came from Russia and it is an absolute fake.

Very informative.. I never bought anything from eBay I am scared

For the great experiences that you've had with buying great perfumes, can you post the links to some of the good sellers you've had experience with?

i'm glad ebay helped you out, but they are kind of a garbage platform for honest sellers. i have le labo flacons direct from the manufacturer with my name, date bottled, and bottler's name on the flacon, and i still get the occasional case opened where someone claims the samples are fake. honest sellers have no real choice other than to lose money on the deal and pay for the return shipping and loss of any liquid the buyer may have sprayed.

damn, your mom and grandma both own this? no one in my family or group of friends knows anything about perfume other than an old bottle of CK One they may or may not have lying around

This is very helpful. So many fakes out there, unfortunately.

It’s March of 2021 and I just saw your video. I to was duped from an EBay seller Amazing how much effort they went through to match this even down to the scent.

Loved it. I get so paranoid with eBay. But it’s good to know you usually get good bottles!

Thank you for this. I just purchased a fake 2 days ago and Thankfully they refunded my money

It is cheaper from the website too

Thanks for this video I ordered a sample from a third party site and im glad i only paid €8 because it smells weird it hardly stays on my skin and it smells if i can put the perfect description on it it smells like Nitrice. im going to go to our department store and smell it there because its not doing much its not over powering and i smell cotton candy and laughing gas 😒

You may have purchase a Baccarat Rouge tester.The perfume tester smells exactly like the original only the box and the bottle differ .that doesn't mean the perfume is not original .Enter the barcode on Digit-Eyes and you will know if the perfume is a tester or if it's fake

I buy one in eBay and doesn’t smell equal

I saw online a very good deal BR540 the j was perfect.. But I stil doubt it.. Well, I might as well buy in the mall

Amazon video, I almost bought a fake one from ebay. I’ve now bought from the official website

I got a bottle for Christmas that was bought at Saks and it is the real deal. It has the right kind of j and B.

Thanks so much it was helpful

Great video, a lot of fakes out here. Also, the atomizer should be plastic. A lot of fakes spray the way yours does and they have a metal ring on the inside instead of being all plastic so if your in doubt remove the top and check as well

so the reason i can't smell it bcz it's a fake ???

wow. thanks for the heads up

Hi Indeed your help. I think my bottle I bought off eBay from Russia is fake. Do you have a place I can send you pictures

Did you get your money back? If you buy with PayPal they help you get your money back asap

Thank you very much for this

But you can't always tell real from fake just by the box. The MFK boxes change and are not always the same for each released prints. And if the company manufacturers them in another country for the overseas market, that too will look slightly different. Also, now the newer perfumes have a QR code but it only started recently so if you have an older perfume, it won't show a QR code. It's mainly in the smell you can tell the difference, and the Chinese fakes smell awful.

check the sprayer tube

Thank you!

Thank you so much.

Wow I’ve scoured eBay for legitimate bottles and over 70% look fake even the decant sellers. Apart from wasting money it’s horrible that new sniffers will never experience the true scent because of these scammers.

I once bought a 100 ml bottle of Coco Mademoiselle on Ebay, the price was very good and of course, it was a fake. Lucky me, the seller agreed for me to return it but I lost 15 dollars shipping.There is only one perfume seller I trust on Ebay.

I ordered mine from the official website

I’ve been a fan of BKR for a while and I always buy mine from the House. However, if ur paying a cheap price and it smells like the real one I don’t think that should be an issue. Unless, the seller tells u it’s authentic when it isn’t. To those u are reading this now, don’t panic if u don’t see the book .I think it’s discontinued. I know mine is real and it didn’t come with the book either time and mine is form MFK. By the way..nothing to be humiliated about. These things happen to all of us

Great video,, aroma from heaven

The seller on ebay is still trying to say mine is real and I'm insulting them. I have contacted eBay.

Informative and insightful video! SC

I have the same perfumes as you.. I thougt it was original... But I dissapointed to know that it is fake...

While this is informative to us as consumers, do you worry that this information might also help the counterfeiters make better fakes?

Wow it is probably just better to buy from the website.

Man I would have been fooled! They are getting really good with the fakes. Horrible!

Thanks because I am thinking like you is not 5he same

No you can see it direct the bottle quality even from video. They sell a lot of fake in market place and they say 100% real, but pure fake

Good video but you don’t hold the bottle still long enough for us to see what you’re talking about

All u gotta do is look at the J on the box & bottle. That's it.

i just bought then i see your video and they scam me too

I got scammed for Baccarat Rouge 540 on Ebay for $175.

The worst part of this is that you cant even use the fake cause you dont know what is in it.

I got scammed with a Baccarat Rouge 540. Bought it on ebay, and the smell is close to disgusting :( Just yicki sour :/ The bottle is close to the real deal but with some differences, and the juice is darker in the fake one. I just contacted the seller and will ask ebay for help with the refund if I can't sort anything out with the (low life) seller. I am sorely tempted to warn you against this seller here, but maybe that is taking it a bit too far... for now. The worst part of this, is that I bought another one from someone else on ebay which smells wonderful, but I don't know if that one is a fake as well! I just know, that the bottle on that one looks more authentic, and the smell is great :/

Happened to me to! It cost me $345.00

As soon as she said eBay I thought uh oh

You should have ask me before you purchase. I got got as well and my issue was resolved just like yours. I got the Extrait and reg but the Extrait left burns on my arms.

Does it smell as good?

I think everything was real, the packaging, the box, the bottle...except the juice inside.
