- EDIT : I'm reposting this video, as the first version had many issues (due to exporting and uploading). I hope this won't be the case anymore. thank you for letting me know :)
Today I would like to share with you my online buying experience to avoid you to get scammed when you buy fragrances.
I'll give you my golden rules to limit the risks and share my tips and examples to recognize fake fragrances more easily.
Keep in mind that risk zero doesn't exist unless you only buy via official websites and official resellers !

Thank you for the video and showing this! 👌🏻🙏🏻 Due diligence is so important when buying! I just had a pretty bitter experience myself with a XerJoff fragrance. Will probably also do a video on it.
Never too careful 😉
I'm sorry for your Xerjoff fragrance 😟
Very good suggestions! Thank you. I did receive a fake perfume before. It looks very very similar to the original bottle and packaging. I dare say that these people who sold it, they got the original bottle and packaging from the factory. The difference were only on the cap and the juice. It smells like the original version only on the first Spritz, and then it turns sour and you can't smell anything after 1 minute.
Yes, sometimes I'm wondering if they don't have a deal with the factories to get the real bottles...
For the packaging, unfortunately the imitation is getting better and better.
Ah this was really useful to watch, especially as I’m getting more into eBay these days! Thanks for so much useful info and things to look out for ❤️❤️
Oh I hope it helps 😊
Thank you Sam 😘
I have purchased so many fakes on eBay. You would think I would learn and stop. Currently have a fragrance ready to ship back to seller for my refund.
I bought a fake fragrance from eBay was a decant 15m, a Jo Malone scent, lime basil and mandarin and when it arrived it smelt like cat pee 😤 I told the seller I wasn’t happy and it didn’t smell like the authentic version and they refunded me straight via PayPal no questions asked. There are so many brand new MFK fragrances on eBay for a low price which is clearly too good to be true. Thanks for these tips 😊
Thank you ! I hope it will help people not to get scammed 😉
@avgrim77 The problem is that apparently on eBay you don't always know that it will be sent from Russia until you buy the product. I'm sure my Byredo and Memo bottles were some fakes from Russia and they were sold by local resellers (and not cheap 😑) It has also happened that some shops were selling fakes without knowing it. It is a crazy underground market and anyone could be in this situation one day. Even Sebastian got scammed lately. The more people are informed about this, the less they'll be scammed (or I hope so ^^)
Thank-you Karine, helpful information for everyone purchasing fragrance online.
I hope it is 😊
You should compare more details, specifically the lid, inside, outside, the spray head, the bottom of the bottle, not just the fragrance. Because the buyers do not usually have the auth one beside the fake
I talk about the cap and the sprayer at 10:00
Each part of the packaging is good to check. Even if you don't have the authentic one to compare it to, you may have another authentic fragrance from the same brand that you can compare to the one you want to check. You can also check online, look for pictures on the brand website or exchange with other fragrance lovers :)
Thanks so much for this video! I just purchased a 100ml bottle of Gypsy Water for $40 and now I want to cry. Is there a chance you still have those boxes? I'm trying to find the dimensions since the size differences are so obvious.
Oh sorry I didn't see your comment. Well I have a 100 ml bottle that seems fake to me and the original ones that I bought are 50 ml so this is hard for me to compare.
Really well put together video, Karine. Thank you!
You don’t need the music background, btw. What you have to say is interesting enough without it…🧚🏼♀️
(And your English is excellent. Apologies for Brexit; we are idiots 🙄)
You're too kind 😘
Don't apologize for UK, I feel more sorry for you guys 😞
@@OlfactiveStories half our country are idiots, the other half are despairing. 🥴
It makes me angry when i see people selling empty bottles/boxes, etc. You know why they do it 😒
This was so helpful!
Important information!
Thank you ! I tried to make it as useful as possible ;)
Also most fake perfumes come in the largest bottle in the line. You hardly ever find 1 fl oz fake if that perfume comes in the 3.4 fl oz
For Byredo ? Yes that's true, I have not seen a fake 50 ml yet, only 100 ml.
Super helpful!!
Glad it helped 😊
Hi, does the fake bottle also say byredo on the inside?
Hello, sorry it took me time to get my hands on my fake bottle. If you mean the cap of my fake bottle, I have 4 lines at the bottom of the cap than written in circle : Byredo Parfums - A B G IV Sweden.
In my authentic bottle, I have a B at the bottom of the cap, then written in circle Byredo Made in France
Is GILT a reputable website to purchase fragrance?
I can't tell, I don't know this website :/
@ P M GILT and Rue La La authentic. I’ve bought designer clothing and fragrance from them. They’re legit! However, their fragrances are final sale.
Under the caps different in the byredo
Different?
I will compare and I'll tell you ! 😉
Great question! The inside of my cap from a reputable ebay seller says “Byredo (on the top) & Made in France (on the bottom” I would really like to know what her authentic bottle says. Also, on the bottom of the bottle, I noticed some Byredo’s labels says SE10361 & on other bottles it says SE-10361 so which does it say on the authentic?? Please reply
@@Angela-wv4yw Sorry guys, I'm still looking for my fake bottle. I put it aside as a air freshner for my bathroom but I cannot find it anymore 🤣
I will have a look at the real ones cap today and tell you what they look like !
@@Angela-wv4yw I've just checked my authentic bottle of Rose of no man's land. Inside the cap there is also Byredo on top and Made in France on the bottom. The bottom of the bottle says :
Byredo
Box 3065
SE10361 Stockholm
Byredo.com
BYREDO
e 50 ML 🔥 1.6 FL.OZ.
Made in France
9284MM
The serial number at the bottom of the bottle is also the same as on the bottom of the cardboard.
I hope it's helpful 😊
I want to purchase Byredo lil fleur on Ebay. It is by a Russian seller with 100% feedback. I am wondering if it will be real since Byredo came out with this scent sometime around June. What do you think? Would they have had time to even come out with a fake one? Please let me know
To be honest, if it's coming from Russia I won't even give it a try !
I agree, when shopping for second hand. Try to find a seller in the US, sometimes without the box, with very little to no like items in their eBay store. I always reach out to the seller and ask them to give a short story about how they acquired the fragrance and why they've decided to let it go.
Beau Aliso thank you so much I appreciate your advice 💞 have a nice evening 🤗
Thanks🌹
I really love your accent
Thank you 🥰😘
Thank you
You're welcome 😊
Hi. I am gifting my boyfriend a Cacharel Pour L'Homme, his favorite cologne in the 80s-90s. How do I spot a fake Cacahrel. I am ordering from fragrance.com
I'm not an expert for Cacharel but Fragrancenet and FragranceX seem to sell real fragrances. 😉
Otherwise you can still try to compare with a real bottle, in a shop for example looking for the details I talked about. The bottle, the cap, the quality of the print, the text on the bottle ...
what song is this in your intro?
Check the credits in the description box. I put the name of the songs I use for intro / outro and a link to the band 😉
Is fragrance net legit too?
I ordered on FragranceNet and FragranceX when it was still possible to order from France. I never had any issue with the fragrances I bought on these websites. I don't know if I was lucky or not but I never heard any bad reviews of these websites. I hope it helps 😉
All these small details on the box are not that important. I want to know if you're happy with the fragrance and what is the major difference here. They also reformulate so the box and fragrance itself can differ a bit
I'm spraying it in my bathroom as an air freshener. 😆
I got a big rash on skin once with a fake fragrance. My skin looked burnt for more than a month 😕 The problem is that you don't know what they put inside and having a sensitive skin I don't want to take the risk anymore 😑
@@OlfactiveStories thanks for sharing 😳
Howdy. 🤠
Hello 😊
@@OlfactiveStories I love your voice. It's nice. 🙂
@@danielsan3681 Hope it is quite understandable despite my French accent 😅😆
@@OlfactiveStories
It is.
Your English is very good. 🙂
i see a lot of people are recommending fadorate store here, can someone admit they are legit? Thanks.
Thanks for letting me know.
No it does not look legit !
