I usually buy from amazon because it is reputable and offers free shipping on most items. I just bought this item and it is the real thing. Now I warn you though, you better know ahead of time if you like the fragrance because there are no returns allowed due to it being a flammable substance.

The one I purchased was real. I cannot state this for the next bottle and the next, also being I am not the seller. But I Trust Amazon.....And the one I purchased was real. Look at the photo before you purchase this item, if you wore Obsession in the past, the old Obsession had a carmel colored non see-through cap. Some sellers are still selling that bottle....be careful. The NEW Obsession had a cap makeover. Now its See-through brown. So I bought it according to what the picture portrayed.....Whew....nough said....Hope It Helped.......Goodluck.

Obsession has been my signature scent for more than 35 years, and I've emptied between 60 and 70 bottles of this perfume during that time. I'm certain that the bottle I bought through Amazon is authentic Obsession. The fragrance is exactly the same and it lasts as long when I'm wearing it as ever in the past. I could not be fooled by a fake.

If you have been buying this product like I have, for years then you know the bottle, the color and mostimportantly the fragrance you will know without a doubt this is the real thing. Also buy from a reputable dealer and I personally prefer the perfume for last-ability. Maybe I have been lucky but so far never a problem and Amazon has the very best prices.

Most original packaging does have a serial number or a distributor code on the box. You can also tell by the way it sprays out. If it sprays like a body spray, too much and too fast it is fake. If it feels cold on the skin more so than usual, it is fake.

This is a fake! My mother has been buying this at Macy's and other department stores for years. I purchased this one for her, and she says definitely it is not the real thing. It's not worth the postage and trouble sending it back since it was so cheap.

Amazon requires all Sellers to provide 100% authentic products, or as described. If you make a purchase and it is not as described, then you are protected and can return the item (refund) with no questions asked. Buy with confidence

I contacted Amazon in regards to this. Did not want to spend over $100 and get something fake I cannot even return. Make sure the seller you purchase through IS amazon, not a third party. They will guarantee satisfaction :)

I bought this item in June for full price. So I would assume it's the real thing. Almost seems to good to be true..

This is Authentic from Amazon I never had a problem with things being fake here on Amazon. The one on ebay is FAKE! DON'T PURCHASE IT AT ALL.

I purchased this from a source outside of Amazon. I left a review on it for those who were considering purchasing the fragrance and wanted feedback on it. I do not believe that Amazon would intentionally sell fake fragrances.

It's supposed to be genuine. I'd order from amazon directly to avoid getting scammed.

It is real. Please read my seller rating responses. I have a 99% seller rating. I sell many products but many people have commented on this product. Best regards, BlueKayak

As best I can tell, it's a real one. All the milling of the case looks really legit. It doesn't show any signs that usually indicate a fake. That said, it did come on a slow-boat and took forever to get here..couple weeks anyway. And I guess it depends on who the seller is as to whether or not it'll be a fake. That said, when all was said and done...I got a real Lunatik case for ~$26 when I ordered. I had another case for my phone, so I wasn't at a loss while waiting. For as cheap as this item is, it's worth the gamble in my opinion.

I just check and see if they have other reviews, especially different types of products, my reviews are really random, lots of different products and categories. So find the review you find most relevant then check their other reviews and if they seem legitimate, then your probably safe. In the case of this product, I found several 5 star reviews very legitimate, I just ordered and will definitely give a review.

Don't know about fakes, but this one seems fine enough. How would I know if I got a fake? Now I'm curious.

I bought it and everything seemed the same to me. I had tried the real thing several times and this was the same. I made sure to order thru amazon and not another vendor.

It's not fake. I bought this one for my husband a few months ago and it's great. Plus, it's being sold by amazon, not some unknown person. You can always return if you're not happy.

Don't risk it - and if you do only order from a seller that is "fulfilled by Amazon" (so you can return it, because you will probably need to). I received bottles that looked like the real ones (but it did NOT come in the packaging that the official duo comes in), but when I compared the scent of this to an authentic bottle it was very apparent that this it was not the real PM product. And with the volume of reviews that indicate others have had the same problem, I think it is best to stick with official Paul Mitchell suppliers (which you can find on their website - the price isn't that much more than the ones on here).

In my honest opinion this is not a fake. I also believe that amazon couldn't legally sell a fake. Flowerbomb smells amazing and the scent lasts for days. This is exactly what this product gives. I'm happy with my purchase and I don't regret it or think I have been ripped off. I believe I got a great sale discount on a normally pretty expensive product. Hope this helps?

It's real. One way to always know is if it is shipped and sold through amazon it's legit. If it's sold by a another company that's when you really want to question it.

I bought mine locally so I could test these cases side-by-side, so I do not know whether or not these are real or fake. If purchasing from Amazon, I can only suggest making sure that Amazon.com is the actually seller of the product - or you purchase from a seller with high reviews and many of them. I've never had a problem when Amazon.com is the actual seller, as opposed to the third party sellers the pages often default to because of a slightly lower price. You can select the vendor on the right side of the product page.
