They have EXACTLY the same designers name, almost identical bottle, label, box and very similar fragrance! It's not easy to tell what is a Fake. Counterfeiters of perfume have become masters of their crime with the aid of modern digital imaging and printing techniques. They are capable of producing almost identical replicas of ALL the major leading perfume brands on the market today. As a consumer you may never really know, UNTIL you experience the actual fragrance which may be close to but not exactly as it should. You'll discover that the perfume does NOT last as long, perhaps as little as one hour instead of half a day or longer as is the case with original designer perfume. Counterfeiting is a huge problem globally, with millions of counterfeit goods being produced and sold every year. It is estimated that up to 10% of perfumes and toiletries in the market place are fakes. HEALTH RISKS OF COUNTERFEIT FRAGRANCES: Counterfeit perfume do not undergo the usual safety standards that are applied to all cosmetics and toiletries around the world. When cheaper, inferior ingredients are used, these may cause allergic reactions in people with sensitive skin and could also stain garments. BEWARE OF OLD STOCK and STALE PERFUME Perfume does deteriorate. The time period depends on temperature, light and length of storage. Sometimes when stores close down, they SELL OUT their old perfume stock. These typically end up in auctions, and discount shops/web sites at very cheap prices. Don't get caught out. Always make sure your supplier sells FRESH, not old stock. 20 Point Perfume Authenticity Checklist: 1) Confirm Reputable Source of Supply.

Here are some pics - the box first off is missing the "sky" effect, it's just a darker blue with a light blue next to it - it doesn't feel as plus as the original retail box either. The box states it is also made in Germany. Batch number on the side - looked this up and batch is supposedly from 2009. Now bottle - the print is a little off - it looks like a printed adhesive. Then the sticker on the bottom indicates a different batch number (6178) apparently made in 2006 stating the bottle is made in the UK. There was also a string of plastic attached to the silver part, like it had been wrapped in it before. So just FYI - this stuff is out there. I've already started a claim to get my money back. I bought four bottles based on a general pic so here's hoping eBay and the seller do the right thing and just return it.
