The review by "Bambina" Is it just me, or does this review smell an awful lot like it was written by an advertising agency?

Especially seeing as though it's the only review she's written, doesn't have a picture, it doesn't have the little 'real name' thing, etc =P

Yep, I was going to reply the same thing. That's her only review and she's just off-the-wall exuberant about it, and her review sounds like a bubbly commercial. It's not just you, I bet it was a shill. There's not many trustworthy reviews for this product on numerous websites. I've seen this product in a store on demo and I was not overly impressed. A Dremel tool may be too much and too harsh (I've tried), but this seems too weak. Where's the middle-ground?

I am not an advertising agency...I purchased mine many years ago and still love it.. My problem is the bottom will not stay on, which I have to hold it so the batteries make contact. I am looking to buy another one asap...Can't find them in the stories any longer. I have been looking...

I wonder that too, looks like many of the reviews could be fake or people from the company. They only have 1 review and it happens to be this product....

I don't know - but it smells just like the sample I received from a high-end dept. store.

I received mine today and it has a VERY strong odor. Which, is making the headache that I got this product to help with, much worse.

I thought the exact same thing - such reviews are a destroyer of the forum's credibility. Send me one and I'll give an honest review - oh, except I don't have to pay $80. Well THAT is the part that makes me honest!

I can't really help you. The one I received smells the same as the one I smelled at the mall. So maybe it's from a old batch that went bad.

Mine certainly smells and feels like leather. If its a "fake," someone did a great job.

I just smelled it and it's definitely more Elmer's glue than perfume. I hadn't really noticed it until this question though, for what it's worth.

Yes, people do tend to look at your like you're nuts. I think they would change their tune if they started getting daily headaches from how *I* smelled! You're lucky that yours is getting paid for - how wonderful. I can't wait until more places put a ban on perfumes!

Ugh, wish I had read the previous answers before I bought this stuff. It really is a wretched smell - like old-lady perfume gone bad. Made me wonder if Amazon is keeping it on the shelves too long or something. I really wanted to like this product but can hardly stand the "fragrance."

i called creed,and was told that amazon is not a authorized seller of there product, i too received this Arabic writing in booth bottles, the first bottle they sent only had a lasting smell of 15 mins what creed said was this could be old stock from the middle east all i can tell ya is amazon made good and replaced the first bottle that was garbage i had bought from norstroms a smaller bottle and i can tell ya that the perfume last a lot longer than what i received from amazon i guess they received a item that the shelf life was running out

I was concerned too...it could be a fake, but smells the same and seems to work so hopefully it's for real, but the price makes me wary as well.

Hello - I personally didn't even know that "Jean Nate" had made Jean Nate. Also I was not aware that it was made by Revlon - I guess I just wasn't paying attention; however,for me, I just remembered how it smelled. When I received the item, it smelled as I remembered. There may be a difference, which is possible especially if companies change owners, perfume ingredients are change, etc., but the bath splash smelled the same to me. I suggest to give it a try and see for yourself. If it smells the way you don't remember, you'll know - it's a smell that's very distinct.

I find it hard to believe I purchased the same item as was purchased by the people answering this question. There is a definitely a smell - kind of like a strong plastic smell, which is there even when the unit is not turned on (and just gets stronger when it is). Granted, I've only had this for about 5 days, so hopefully it will go away.

The reviews are oddly and consistently enthusiastic, to the point where they mention the brand name waaay too often. Real customers are often less "rehearsed" sounding in their write-ups. Definitely food for thought.

I bought two perfumes and two colognes....they don't smell like they should. They're probably watered down...that's why they're cheaper. That could be the reason....

Yes, I noticed this, too. I'm wondering if it's maybe a formulary change that came along at the same time as the new packaging, because I've been buying these from Amazon for years and there wasn't the awful smell before with the other packaging.
