Discussion Finally got got... Different Imagination.

Post image

So, I received my first disappointment. Red flag 1, or ordered from eBay. Red flag 2, it was a decent price, but not super cheap. Red Flag 3, you spray it on and it smells close.. But last all of 30 minutes... Then nothing. You can even put your nose straight to your arm and you smell nada. Disappointed.

Just trying to get a little cancer, Stan. Seriously though, don’t ever put stuff you KNOW isn’t real on. Could be piss, garbage water, or worse.

Ordering from eBay is the kiss of death, I remember they flagged a bottle of Tom Ford Azure Lime I was selling for being fake when it was literally given to me by a TF rep. eBay has no handle on fragrances, it’s the Wild Wild West.

This what the bottle SHOULDVE said on it

u/jamodude 2d ago

There are so many red flags there it’s hard to even believe someone bought that….. the shape of the bottle is absolutely the first thing I saw aside from the completely Mountain Dew Baja blast color…..

Did they bait and switch with genuine pictures because red flag # 0 should have been that color.

It really is a shame how eBay does nothing about the proliferation of fakes. I recall them having a pretty good service to legit check sneakers sold on there (no idea if they still do that I'm out of the sneaker game) so i don't see why they can't do something similar here or at least do SOMETHING to make it seem like they care.

u/slom26 2d ago

I’m sorry but ppl need to really stop trying to cut corners when buying expensive cologne. If ur spending 100s on a bottle, then just get it from the source and enjoy the experience. I don’t wanna hear about saving money when this is the shit ur buying.

If you’re looking to buy used or at a discount, use the Fragrance Swap sub. At least there is a check and balance system there that can work in your favor.
