How do I know that this is the real thing? There are quite a few reviews stating that this is a fake ... Thanks one and all - I contacted Amazon directly and they assured me that it would be fine but if I did have a problem with it's authenticity, I...

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.

It never crossed my mind that what I bought was a fake. I have bought a lot of perfume, and I have had other experiences that seemed to be fakes or "watered down," but not in this case. However, I certainly can't verify every perfume this seller has sold. It seems that we take a chance in every sales transaction that we have these days. I do find Amazon to be one of the safest places to conduct business online.

hard to tell if they're genuine (remember "if looks too good to be true...") but some that I've (don't know if it was this vendor) had issues, however they promptly made it right so you don't have much risk if any. Just inspect the incoming product and and test it promptly and you'll be fine.

You gotta watch what seller it's from. Amazon sometimes just like lumps all the reviews into one product page. If it ships from China, it's probably a bootleg. If it's from Japan, it's probably legit.

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 :)

It was not a fake. I am usually pretty leery about products that are not direct from the source but this was a great product and half the price that you would pay at say PetSmart. Hope this helps!

I bought the box through Amazon. It was sold by Amazon, so I assume it is genuine.

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.

Buy directly from Amazon & not a 3rd party seller. That's the only way to be sure it's genuine.

I bought this for a friend, and he thinks it's real but I'm honestly not sure if he'd know the difference. You might want to contact the manufacturer and ask them.

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.

It was described to be authentic by the seller and that is why I purchased it. I'm not sure if it was sold to me authentic or not. Hope it helps.

If this is the same one I bought (which I believe it is, because Amazon asked me to answer your question) than it's real. And it's awesome.

This is authentic, I even got a certification inside the packaging. If it was a fake it sure is a pretty darn good fake, who told you it was a fake?

Amazon is a Real Techniques authorized dealer, so if it is sold by Amazon, it is authentic.

I ordered "Shipped and sold by Amazon" and mine is 100% authentic. Be aware of the actual seller and use due diligence.

I have been buying from third party vendors through Amazon. I have never had a problem of it not being the legitimate perfume. I would think they stand behind their vendors.
