Fake bottles of Amouage brand perfumes are being sold on the black market at half the official price, prompting a warning from the company over health concerns. Website: timesofoman.com Facebook: / timesofoman Twitter: / timesofoman
I bought all twelve of my Amouage from discounters and I’m pretty confident that they are real. This man is obviously just trying to get people to spend full price on bottles to help his bottom line, and I completely understand. But just because you find a discount bottle does not automatically mean it is fake.
Well hes right, there are fakes and im glad he tells us the signs as it will help us avoiding a fake so dont get too angry at him. there are older amouages that were not magnetic either but hes right the fakers will have sloppy glue, low quality caps.. etc.
@@tracypowell1236 lets hope it stays that way, cuz they are rampant right now for some reason and mostly all niche too. can nothing stay sacred anymore?!
That’s the thing. The grey market is where these discounters buy their goods from. It is absolutely possible to get a fake in the grey market. You are taking a chance buying at a discounter of getting a fake product or getting a very old product. That is why in my honest opinion why a lot of these reviews on some fragrances are so inconsistent. Many people are probably walking around with fakes. Just like the luxury handbag business, resellers don’t mean to sell a fake but they do slip through with super fakes being made
I would absolutely LOVE to do a follow up video discussing fakes and would love to interview 🙏🏼. This is an industry that is growing, as super fakes are getting closer to the real thing in not only the fragrance industry but also the luxury goods fashion industry. Consumers should be made aware, and me personally even if it means paying more I’d rather support the artistry and the brand than save a few dollars to possibly get scammed and I think most consumers would think this way if there was more awareness.
Bollocks. We have reputable stores in Denmark selling Amouage and at least a few times per year there is a 20 percent discount, heck, I got one at a 70 percent discount. 100 percent genuine. Plenty of international sellers (reputable as well) will regularly have discounts.
I have about 10 or 11 Amouages and all of them were from discounters for less than half of the retail prices. There is no way my Interlude, Overture, Overture Man can be fake. They blow the roof off the room I’m in, and I’ve compared them to what I smell in the Amouage store in the mall and it’s the same juice. I’ll keep buying from my favorite discounters.
All the things he mentioned you can only find out, after purchasing. Is there nothing where you can tell from the outside that it is fake, before buying?
There must be any E tagging by every manufacturers which is scanned by the buyers on box and the second scan on the bottle (Both scan must scanned one after another to complete the set of scan) then the scan must take it to company site where originality certificate should send to the buyer on register mobile number or email.... Why buyer will go for such a pain answer is for 5 to 10% off for next buy or rewards...
This is very difficult situation, not only for Amouage, but for all luxury brands and successful brands. But my concern or difficulty is, how does Amouage gets its products across the world, if they are only to be gotten through a handful of outlets in a handful of countries? Because these products are obviously needed all over the world! ... How do I, for instance, from Nigeria, get a genuine or original Amouage perfume!? 🤔
Wow , I bought interlude and I think we have the same bottle , but don’t worry I have seen pictures in google and is original. Obviously I test that perfume on my and smell greate for almost 12 hours
Yes, they changed it to streamline production costs. They can now produce a one-size-fits-all neck ring without having to manufacture one for every single fragrance. They've also stopped putting the name on the side of the bottom and have them on the front instead.
They have changed the bottles frequently. Older bottles have a click cap. Some older bottles say made in the UK. Some have the name of the frag on the side of the bottle and the neck of the atomizer. It helps to check which frags have been discontinued(usually they will have older packaging details). The new hack management have discontinued a lot of Christopher Chong’s work.
I have buy reflection 100ml for €165,- and i have to say it was real, all the things you saying with the cap and the bottle from inside, sillage and longgivity etc. Is real real real
I live in the USA. There are small kiosks at the mall selling TOP niche fragrance brands that not even the brick stores inside the mall carry. Those top niche brands are only sold at Sephora, Dillard's, or Macy's. The kiosks selling those niche brands... I feel sorry for the people getting duped into buying those toxic chemicals passing as "perfumes".
i am a big fan of amouage perfumes but thay need to make better discounts or lower their prices I have 10 perfumes in my wish list but it's nonsense to pay 3500 dollars for perfumes you love
How about tester version? I dont have a batch code at the bottom of the bottle of my Interlude, whereas while tester Myths has it... Shop informed me it's a decoded version, but is it even exististng?
@zura87 already had 9 amouage perfumes, here I ordered 3 (opus v woods/royal tobacco and rose incense) all arrived with the QR code damaged and decoded. The cap is magnetic and you cannot return it and at the bottom of each bottle there is a phrase at the top and bottom (the information in gold like in the others I have) but no bactch code in the middle. This is the first time I bought this collection, I saw it in a shop in Asia. And back in France I ordered on beautinow yesterday when they arrived I saw that the smell is the same, I put a spray of each and it stayed in my skin. It seems original to me.. on the site they say that they remove the code so that we don't know the origin.. maybe end of series perfumes from other countries or end of stock.. I don't know. Some say it could be UK perfumes because you have 2 Oman and UK versions. What perfume did you buy and where?
I have Interlude Man, tester version. No codes at all, even damage ones, cup is not magnetic too. I was confident about the source I bouhgt it, but after this purchase I have doubts...
8:41 _"What steps is the company taking to eliminate this problem?"_ Be more realistic with your pricing? I've never bought full price, all 5 of my Amouages have been bought from _reputable_ discounters here in the UK, and I've never once suspected foul play. Your fragrances are (largely) phenomenal, but this blatant attempt to scare people away from genuine sources leaves a sour taste, when it's clear that all you're doing is pandering to your shareholders and money men, under the guise of concern for buyers.
Na you can find them actually authentic and very much at a discounted price . lol they just have to defend the company I get it and totally understand we’re he is coming from.
Dear Sir, Thank you for your interest in Amouage, the ingredients and production methods are the same in the UK and in Oman so the fragrances are the same wherever they are manufactured. Yours faithfully, Customer Services Amouage Ltd Tel +44 (0)20 3031 9874 Fax +44 (0)20 3155 1081
We would like to know more about fake characteristics but not prices, why fakes look like authentic ones. Basically, it is very easy to identify fake products of Amouage, but Amouage always change products characteristics: batch coding, boxes, types of packing… Why? To provide more uncertainties?
Funny because every time you buy from them you start to question things. Even the ones that I did get from their official website. Btw their fragrances seem to project less now
We are Perfumery's and fragrance oils, costmatics product manufacturing and brand making & exporting We are unit from India in Mumbai (Attar, body spray eude spray, aparal spray Oudh, bhakoor, body lotions, cream etc
no, theyre not talking about these companies but fakers specifically coming out from uae,russia etc. theres a difference between grey market and fakers.
What happens when the fakers sell the perfume for the same price as amouage 😅 they will get clever and sell for the same price or even with a small discount to make it look real.
This guy is full of it. I've bought 100% real Amouage on gray market and ebay. Just do your homework and get samples of the original before you buy. This guy just wants you to pay full price 🙄
amouage also have manufacturing branch in Uk, and from my research and owner of interlude made in uk. Its not as strong/ weak performance as made in oman. As i have made in oman epic and Jubilation 25 which are both stronger and great performance
just bought my interlude man at 37% in the USA. only MFK and Roja Dove al most there are no discounts. i think the factory can control it by reducing productions ... MFK and Roja Dove do good control with production so there are no much discount
