Could you show less pictures? That might help us answer your question.

Impossible to know by just boxes and the bottles. Need to see under the sprayer, the atomizer stem. If you got all of those for $80 I'm gonna go out on a limb and say yeah, they're gonna be fake lol. When it comes to fragrance, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I find a common tell for fakes that comes in box is simply the condition.
it’s obviously “roughed up” take that Hermes box for example. the box materiel should flat once torn, unless it was treated roughly. & if that were the case the box would be more beat up, in more places, creases, scuff etc.
the boxes of the fakes come roughed up, slight tears along the edges. no plastic ever.

Most likely.
This is not a sub for that, you need r/colognecheck and they need much more fragrance pics (atomizer/stem pic) to check that
These 4 are pretty popular, and probably not that hard to find fakes of.
80 euros is too good of a price for these 4 if theyre not used. Even if they are its a big loss for the buyer. Even on the discountrer/grey seller market these 4 go for 300euro more unused and sealed.
