I want to buy the original, not the initial or any other "so called Shalimars". How do I know I'm getting what I want ?

First of all, if you have never smelled the original it would be best to do that at a department store so you can know how it is supposed to smell. I too love the original and know the difference because I've owned several vintage bottles. I took a chance on this one and am positive it is the real stuff. Your best bet is to go on Ebay and look for bottles like this one sealed in the box. I prefer the actual eau de parfum and saw what I was looking for on Ebay was quite pricey in the original 60's-70's style bottles I am familiar with. The only reason I did not purchase was because I became suspicious some unscrupulous sellers may be watering down those bottles because the real perfume came in a splash and spray type bottle. I would not purchase a splash style. My next purchase may still be an Ebay purchase in the EDP spray. No seller wants a bad rating and if I even suspect dilution will contact them for a full refund including shipping and will make them aware I will leave negative feedback if they refuse to comply. I hope my answer has been helpful to you. What I purchased here is the real deal and lasts long enough on my skin I am sure it is the genuine fragrance and perfume. If I have somehow been duped, the dupe is so incredible I have no remorse. ;) (I just looked at the prices on Ebay. Most are absurd. I had a great buy with this purchase on here.

One test never fails! It is that the product description states that the product is "Parfum" and the manufacturer is "Guerlain" of "Paris". The price will be in a close range of $300 for a one ounce bottle and around $100 for a 1/4 ounce bottle. The words "eau de parfum", or "toilette" or "spray" will never appear in the product description of the real Guerlain Shalimar Parfum - those terms do appear in Guerlain products of 'weaker mixes' of this same fragrance. Women in my family have been wearing the real Guerlain Shalimar Parfum since its early appearance in the 1920's. There is no substitute for the lasting delicate scent of Shalimar Parfum.

for those of you who have received the authentic product, which amazon seller are you buying from?

I ordered this HemingWeigh and what was sent was an unnamed brand that was $7 cheaper than the one I paid for. Unless HeminWeigh send them in unmarked boxes? Not sure how to identify an authentic Himalayan Salt Lamp (if you find out, please let me know too). But the lamp gives a really nice glow in the room, and I sense it has some benefits, just that I can't have it on right now as it's too humid in the house so any extra heat is not welcome! Looking forward to the fall and winter - Sorry I can't tell you for sure as I didn't receive what was advertised. I did call Amazon and they did credit the difference from what I ordered to what I received. I guess you can only try knowing that if you don't get the genuine and advertised item at the price you paid, Amazon will cover the refund/return.

Hi-- we can talk w/ certainty about ours, from LUAR INC., which were bought directly from V. Secret w/ receipt. Others here in Amazon are almost guaranteed also to be original, because there's zero tolerance here for knockoffs, counterfeits, etc. The fragrance is just wonderful and has been the #1 from Victoria's Secret for a few years now. Thank you for asking so we can clarify.

If you are paying less then full price you are more than likely going to receive a bogus copy. Mine was scratched and 50% off with no indication it was a bootleg. Good luck.

More than like, just go to amazon and punch the same info and will lead you to the order page or information. Factory product. the best I can tell since it has Yahama on the cover and do not believe that it is imitation but better than original. Henry. Mine is 150 HP

It is close to what I already had but the the question really becomes what do you have. Try to buy the same brand.

Not the one I bought - and there is a reason the company I bought it from is no longer operating with their previous name - they cheated a lot of us out of money. Would you like to buy it from me?

I have the same opinion of other buyers. If it is a copy or not, bottomline I have achieved excellent results using these products. No regrets!!!

If you buy it direct from Amazon, you can rest assured it's an original and they'll stand by the product. If you buy from some fly-by-night storefront, you'll probably get a fake.

Amazon Marketplace is not very organised, and a seller could send you anything. Best to ask a seller which particular version do they sell, than to assume any particular style.

That is why you should order it directly from the company, not from Amazon. You thnk you are saving money here, but if it is bogus product you save nothing. www.buyjavabuzz.com

I don't see the store I bought it from anymore, but go with the Japanese vendors and maybe the American ones. Takara is a Japanese company so it would be more likely for the Japanese vendors to have the genuine ones.
