Peter Schmidt. BSLLC USA sold me a fake product.
I've been using this product for over 2 years and absolutely love it.
- It's relatively cheap
- The scent lasts majority of the day
- I've had many compliments over it
However, my most recent purchase, I've been given a non-authentic product by Peter Schmidt. BSLLC USA.
The first red flag was that the scent did not last nearly as long as the previous times I purchased this product, at the most 20 minutes and then it's gone.
The second red flag was that there's no strong alcoholic scent coming the cologne like the authentic product has.
I did some visual inspections on the bottle and posted the images. There's three visual differences between the fake (on the right) and the authentic version (on the left).
1) [PHOTO 1] When the bottles on placed on their back, the authentic version has the 9 imprint on the right side, and the hazard logo on the left. The fake has it inverse.
2) [PHOTO 2] From an aerial view, the authentic version has a glass line print that's straight, while the fake has it crooked.
3) This one I did not post a photo as it was very difficult trying to show it but the authentic version is slightly smaller than the fake version. If you hold them side by side in person, it's easier to see.
All three instances are subtle, and with the former two red flags, It's apparent that one I was sold is sadly 100% fake. I have contacted Amazon, and am requesting for a refund and a complaint to Peter Schmidt. BSLLC USA.
