How do I know that the "Joy" sold on Amazon is real? There are many parfum copies/fakes available.

You don't know. I was very dissatisfied with the bottle I ordered. The scent, so particular to Joy, was not there. I will not buy on line again.

Yes. I have worn this fragrance for years, and it is 100% the real thing. I have bought a lot of perfume on Amazon at amazing prices and I am always completely satisfied. This really is the best place to buy perfume.

I have used Moroccan products for years so I know right away by the scent if it is the true product. I have never received a fake Moroccan product from Amazon. Com Best of luck to you.

This is an amazing product, IF you purchase from an ACTUAL distributor. What is posted on amazon isn't a guarantee that you're getting the real thing. It could be a knockoff that could be harmful. TOO RISKY in my opinion.

As far as I know, it's the genuine. I have one I bought from Amazon and it appears to be the "real" one.

That's a valid question, but I don't know how you can be sure its authentic. Except, I've never had Amazon ship me anything but the authentic item. I bought this and it certainly seems to be real.

The recipient of my gift of this product was a woman who has used Joy for decades. You can't fool experience. Yes, it is genuine.

Real! Mine arrived today. It's the real deal. I'm enjoying the dry-down right now. I read the comment about purchasing the fragrance that is "sold by and ships from Amazon" and made sure to do that.

Beware of answers insisting these are legit. They are probably from sellers. They insist they can be registered when they cannot. Amazon doesn't care if the stuff is real anymore. A shame.

I am not sure how to answer .... Amazon publishes the many perfume distributors that offer Jean Pateau.. We hope that they 'are' reputable. I have bought Joy for my wife about 5 times from Amazon(over the past some years). My wife is never Unsatisfied, so that is all I can tell you... I hate paying the big price for Joy, but yet when I purchased locally a new brand of perfume ---it was 130 $$ ---so maybe the Joy from the Amazon suppliers is not so bad .. I never get Eau de Toilet ---Only Eau de Parfume... Hope this helps

The one I received seems to be the real deal. I ordered it directly from Amazon rather than one of Amazon's third-party sellers, however.

It seems authentic to me. It came with a very nice, sealed box. I have caught some phony sellers on ebay, but this seems like the real thing to me. The perfume is long-lasting.

There are plenty of videos on YouTube to distinguish, which are fake. It's pretty easy...different box, different cord, different images and sound quality of course. I don't think amazon would like to sell counterfeit products so if it does by some odd chance turn out to be fake, send it back immediately and inform amazon, also take pictures of the box and the product and send it to beats informing them what had happened

Go to the manufacturer's site (quirky-dot-com), look at the colors they're selling there. No match between manufacturer's colors and what's being sold on Amazon. Looks like everything sold on Amazon is knock-offs, but using the manufacturer's name. Seems logical to think the widely-reported terrible smells are because the products being sold are fake. I'd expect Amazon to do something about this.

Yeah, if it's sold by Amazon, it's real. I called ahead to make sure that they were an authorized dealer. I ordered it, and got a real one.

I fully understand your concern that this item could very well be a KNOCK-OFF due to it's low price, I was thinking the same thing when I bought it for my wife. But I have to admit I believe it is genuine. The packaging is correct and the fragrance is amazing. I'm retired Navy and I used to get Joy, Shalimar, Chloe, Chanel #5 and Opium for my sisters when I was on Mediteranian cruises so I know what the real fragrances are. It's real but I don't know why it's so cheap. It's even the full strength PERFUME versus the eau de toilette or cologne. I'm very happy with it, at least my wife is.

The packaging is identical, and it seems like it should be the original product, but the perfume has reacted VERY differently than the perfume i tried on in the stores. I have to put on many sprays, and the scent dissipates very quickly. When I tested the perfume at Macy's and Ulta, both times it lasted all day long and smelled lovely. With this bottle, I could use 10 sprays, and it doesn't last but a few hours. This leads me to believe it is counterfeit, even though everything looks legitimate. Also, I bought mine directly from Amazon.com as the seller. I wouldn't think Amazon would sell a counterfeit perfume without labeling it as such, but I guess I could be wrong! Ultimately, I'm very disappointed.
