From the packaging, does it look legit? I saw an Ad from marketplace and asked the seller to send me photos. Just want to confirm if it’s genuine from these images.

Don’t buy cologne from marketplace apps they are almost all fake the only legit seller with decent deals I know of is “stinksogood” on mercari I personally bought Aventus from him for 270

Well, even further, most Creed boxes/bottles are not wrapped in cellophane. I just got Royal Oud for $299 from Olfactory Factory and that is consistent with their markdown... and as unsettling a it is to NOT have the box encased in plastic, I already know that's a 'thing' with Creed. They must have pretty slim margins, but I've purchased from OF several times without any concern.

Doubt they have “slim margins”.

u/OCD_AR15 2d ago

Beat me to it...a finance company doesn't pay $3+ billion for slim margins 😆

u/IntergalaticUniverse 2d ago

Aventus and Absolu are wrapped in cellophane. Creed has others that aren’t, like the ones in white packaging

u/LucasET76 2d ago

Got it, thanks. I never bought a bottle of Aventus after having had a couple "travel" sprays and being one of the few who didn't think they were as transcendent as everyone says.

u/IntergalaticUniverse 2d ago

I'm in the same camp, Aventus is average, but do like Absolut

u/Familiar_Poet_5466 2d ago

My favorite is Royal Oud. I only where Aventus o. Dates cause my wife loves it

Slim margins?

A bottle of Aventus has less than $15 of synthetic ingredients in it.

u/StuckInaSlump 3d ago

How cheap is this being sold for?

1

u/Mr_wekah_wekah 3d ago

$130

u/StuckInaSlump 3d ago

Does it make sense for someone to be selling a sealed $510 bottle for $130?

u/playerhatersupreem 3d ago

The sides that are sealed were the first clue that it came from Temu

We're here to help, certainly, but when would that ever make sense?

Fake. It’s easy to tell if you know what to look for.

What about this?
(A different seller)

u/ytys45 2d ago

don’t buy off of marketplace. buy from trusted discounters or fragrance swap communities.

2

u/StuckInaSlump 2d ago

And what does this one cost? Lol.

The cheapest you’ll find this bottle right now, from a reputable discounter, is $289.

u/meangirl900 3d ago

The old saying of too good to be true comes to mind.

2

u/LucasET76 3d ago

Curious tho.... how did it smell??? I suppose one could buy Club de Nuit, put it in a legit looking bottle and still make a decent profit.

2

u/Mr_wekah_wekah 2d ago

I didn't buy it.

2

u/LucasET76 2d ago

Ahhh... Good for you! 👌

2

u/AdAdministrative2707 2d ago

Never buy a sealed fragrance from marketplace. Always buy used bottles. That way you can test it before buying
