Unauthentic fragrance sold by Amazon LLC
I dont know who or where Amazon gets there fragrances from but this is another in a handful of times I have received an unauthentic or compromised fragrance.
This is watered down has a noticeable alcoholic smell to it and it does not have the staying power of the original (old or new reformulation)
On TOP OF THAT this seems to be a reoccurring problem and concern with fragrances I purchase DIRECT from Amazon LLC.
Someone is cutting out the boxes codes with precision for what reason I dont know!? Its probably to hide the fact these are unauthentic versions of the real deal thus the price mark downs on fragrances you thought youre getting a "good deal" on.
From the pictures I am uploading you can see on the first picture there is a tiny box cut out of the UPC code on the back of the packing box accompanied by a black slim line sticker.
The second is the inside of the box there are 3 cut outs along the sides of the inside of the box and the THIRD picture the side bar code has been completely cut out and replaced with a sticker. (reoccurring theme with *some* Amazon fragrance purchases)
There is a reasoning behind these cut outs on the box and from the fragrance it self I can only suspect this is because this fragrance I RECEIVED was not an authentic YSL La Nuit L'homme. I mean why else would someone go through the trouble to do this and compromise the box?
NOTE: This is the last time I am purchasing a high end fragrance on Amazon to save $30 to $50 its just not worth it its a gamble and one I am not willing to take any longer.
