I've bought fake fragrances from some eBay sellers with almost 99% positive customer ratings, and the most shocking experience of them all...one of them sent me a used-up, empty bottle of Dior Homme Parfum inside a sealed box a few years ago. Yes, it's a true story, which remains literally a traumatic fragrance-buying experience for me to this day.

[@78town]

I can’t imagine the literal trauma. You must still be shaking rn

Hey Ash, thank you very much for a clear and thorough comparison! It's too easy for this fakes to sell to the fragrance newbie and worse, to the unsuspecting consumer at large.

It's nice that you raised such an important issue, unfortunately, probably in every country there are stores selling counterfeit goods, in our country and I come from Poland it looks the same, on the top page of google results there are a few stores selling fake perfumes, the strange thing is that no one does anything about it.

I made a mistake buying from a local discounter. They used real "testers ", but sold you fake products. They had authentic bottles with legit batch codes, but some how added cheap fragrance. I took it back and showed them the difference. They are used to selling to people who don't know, or don't care!

[@jonsmith9728]

gonna just put it out there that to only buy chanel from certified dealers (macy's, sephora, chanel's site iteself) the bleu de chanel parfums are nearly impossible to tell reals from fakes and those were what got me (even experienced perfumers had the hardest time picking out the difference until it came to the sent and longevity) thanks for putting this out there ash

[@shave-a-thon3415]

There's a few channels that specialize in fake vs real. Check those out.

These are also the kind of websites that would think nothing of selling your personal info and opening you up to identity theft.

[@TexanUSMC8089]

If I buy a clone, I expect a low price. A clone shouldn't be trying to fool anyone. A fake is illegal in the USA. Being illegal doesn't stop them. People have been buying fake Rolexes forever. Thanks for making this video. I am a fan of Kilian fragrances.

[@Q_N-]

What I’m fearful of is that scammers will buy these fakes and then sell it on the resale market. IE Mercari, eBay, OfferUp etc. And you know some fragbros are still new or just hurting to get their hands on a niche cheapie. They’d immediately buy something like this from another seller through those websites. I just pray this is stopped before something like that happens

[@0050010061]

I see a lot of this on the FB fragrance groups and what bothers me is that people will buy these fakes then decant them and the cycle grows exponentially.

[@Q_N-]

@@0050010061 That’s sad. There should be a system that cracks down on fakes, but I guess the frag community isn’t relevant enough for them to create said system.

[@jeffmiller2965]

It’s always best to buy a legit product from a reputable seller - or direct from the company - before starting to take eBay chances. That’s the wonderful thing about fragrance, we don’t “need” any of this stuff to live, it’s a hobby, so saving for an extra couple weeks wont hurt anything in the long run.

[@fishfan2]

Mercari is pretty safe hopefully it stays that way

Thank you for doing this video so I know where to order fragrances I got a bottle of al haramain l’aventure from Amazon and didn’t realize it was fake until months later it didn’t last like the first bottle I had when I got it from the store. I had no choice because my friend was shut down so I had to get it ordered online. Everyone in the comment section stay away from the stores he just mentioned. Thank you Ashton

[@JMiliam]

The absolute most surefire way to know if a site is legit is whether they take PayPal or not. It’s hilarious they can set up to receive payments just fine with visa or even Apple pay but it’s formerly one of the most complained about payment processors that you can look to as a beacon of authenticity and purchase comfort nowadays. Gotta give them credit where it’s due.

[@rlbnll123]

That’s not necessarily true.

[@franceiroca]

Just for you to know : Living in Paris, the address on the fake is not wrong. It's the previous address of Kilian which you can find on older batches or bottles. The previous address doesn't mean it's fake like the orther informations you're giving 😉

[@fvse]

Was wondering because the website on the back of my box is the same as the “fake” but everything else looks legit. No typos or any other flaws that I’ve noticed.

[@na7ur3]

Thank you Ash . I learned my lesson from Ebay recently.

[@lordmalice8368]

You're right. I bought fake 1 million.

Be careful when shopping on Walmart. They’re more of a marketplace similar to Amazon but with more shady sellers similar to what you find on eBay.

Amazon and Ebay are two of the biggest offenders when it comes to selling fakes of anything. I've even gotten fakes from two very popular discounters. When buying high dollar niche frags, i prefer to buy in person.

What popular discounters?

The ones i wore most are: xerjoff- torino22, nishane -ambra calabria, essential parfums- bois imperial and montale- oud tobacco. I live in the Netherlands and the weather was all over the place so that explains the variety in fragrances. Grtz Johan

Fake perfume manufacturers are getting more sophisticated these days. You really need to go into details to spot the differences. If you don't have another genuine bottle to compare, it's honestly much harder to tell.

[@Fefo89]

the biggest thing which gives away the fakes: you cannot unscrew the atomizer, like on the legit one!

Years ago when malls were still a thing, there were discount fragrance sellers supposedly selling legit fragrances at a discount. A girlfriend bought a perfume that had almost no performance compared to the actual real product, as though it was watered down. I've never bought from a discounter after that. I'd rather pay more and get the actual thing that lasts instead of risk getting ripped off.

[@KerryFairbanks]

Not going to name the retailer, but I'll say it is an eBay focused discounter with all positive reviews and highly regarded. Received PDM Percival at a fantastic price $165 for 4.2oz, and the atomizer/collar leaks after each use and the fragrance is immediately a skin scent after spraying. Fortunately they are allowing me to return it due to the leaking but I really think they got sourced counterfeit inventory and are hopefully unknowingly selling it with their 100% authentic guarantee.

[@allrc8737]

Hi bro but you have to said the name and then no more people buy from them anymore and get fake fragrances 😢😢😢😢

[@user-oo9bb2yl6b]

What was the longevity of the fake kilian? does it last 4, 5 or more? is the smell decent to be consider maybe a dupe/clone quality?

[@priqq1]

I never understood why anyone would go through the trouble of mass manufacturing a counterfeit but not at the very least pay attention to even the largest details like packaging colors, spelling, label details, etc. It's not like the counterfeiter can't get their hands on an example, run it by the team doing the production, quality check the proto before doing a run of them. Certainly this is not an endorsement of such behavior, but it just boggles my mind.

[@phantomspaceman]

The spelling is because the counterfeiters don't know English. It's a game to make the cheapest possible dupe but have it look real enough to scam online buyers. Sell the stock, cut and run before anyone investigates. Of course I do ask the same question about English speakers when they pay 10 grand to put up a billboard with a mispelling, or someone spends 2 hours making a photoshop and doesn't bother to read the 10 words they put in a caption.

Nice bit of sleuthing, Ash. I've been wary even of some of the more dependable dealers here in the UK.

[@mercenavarro6732]

I noticed on the real one there a mistake in the language: 1) the word by on the English side should not be there; 2) the word by in French is par. Because it is grammatically incorrect for the by to be on the English side, it got lost in translation .

[@RizkiBagaswaraPutra]

I think on the other side this would make dupes/clones fragrances more respectable.

[@souless9442]

How about the older batches? I just bought a silver version.

[@jamesthetford5390]

Its great to draw attention to things like this however man is this gonna start a storm. Waaayyy too many amateur fragrance colectors or just people in general are overly paranoid, annoyingly so at times. Ive got in frustrating arguments with people who have no idea of what the grey market is and swear up and down if something dosent come from a big name box store its gotta be fake 🙄. It comes down to doing your homework and gaining experience. I even got burned on ebay once from a seller with 100% feedback and well over 10k sold. Its my fault for not asking for detailed pics. Its part of the game, live and learn. Anywho thanks for videos giving necessary information like this Ash. If your new to the game, do some homework. A quick search of legitimacy of a discounter in question typically will give more than enough information to go off. If your still not sure, buy something small and see if it checks out.

[@johnrussell7385]

Just wanted to say that the black phantom I ordered last year directly from by kilian in the coffret set did not have a k on the atomizer

[@shave-a-thon3415]

That's why when a comparison of fake vs. real is done, it's got to be a comparison of bottles issued at the same time. The one he showed is obviously fake, but they probably copied some of the design from an earlier bottle and box. I'd like to see the phony batch code on the fake bottle and box.

What batch is your bottle of Black Phantom?

Also remember to look up the company using BBB

I got spooked because I grabbed an opened tester bottle of Red Tobacco from a Mercari seller and it didn't smell like I remembered. It also had the batch number ground off. It turned out it was real when I compared it to a new bottle. I guess what I'm saying is Mancera testers look terrible. I also got a Montale from Fragrancenet and the goofy hairspray bottle came without the atomizer. Still waiting on a replacement.

[@shave-a-thon3415]

I’ve bought Manceras from Fragrancenet with the batch codes etched out. It’s done by the distributors to avoid tracing the bottles back to them. What I don’t like about that practice is that the boxes have to be opened and re-sealed.

[@phantomspaceman]

@@shave-a-thon3415 I was wondering about that. It's hard to find clear pictures of the bottom of bottles online. The letter alignment on the plates is off too. When I first tested it I smelled cherry and said "Wait a second, this wasn't what it smelled like last week." Testing them both at the same time on different hands, and yep, my mind just blocked that out and zeroed in on the tobacco when I first sampled it. I don't feel bad about paying below $80 if they just open up the testers and modify them anyway.

More types of videos like this please. I recently ended up with a fake bottle of Kajal Lamar from JOMASHOP. Jomashop is not an authorized Kajal retailer. The bottle I received had a terribly leaky atomizer. After contacting Jomashop’s customer service and sending them pictures of the bottle and boxes as they requested I did not get a refund nor any further response. This led me to contact Kajal’s customer service. Kajal pointed out from the photos that I sent them that the bottle I was sold was fake. There should be a batch code on the bottom of the Kajal bottles. Mine does not have one. Moral of the story is like Ash said, “Buy from authorized retailers”. It’s the only way to ensure your product is authentic.

[@edgardozara97]

I guess my problem with this PSA is that it informs both consumers and fakers. It might also get the latter needed information to upgrade their presentation thereby making it more difficult to spot differences physically that the scent is the only way to do so but by then youve also been fooled. Just saying.

[@perfeptions]

Think of it: fakers can afford to buy the real deal and copy. The differences are due to tech difficulties or higher price in production they did not want to afford to make margins higher. These videos only help consumers
