unfortunately, I have bought a "knockoff" perfume. Can Amazon guarantee that this offer of Joy by Jean Patou is the legit thing?

The product carried by Amazon is indeed the real thing. I have been using this fragrance since 1983 and I know the difference. The prices through Amazon are really reasonable too You can buy with confidence here..

I have no idea what Amazon can or cannot guarantee. I think a scientist would have to be involved to "guarantee" anything...but, I am personally pleased with my Joy perfume. It looks, smells and lingers like the original perfume. I am completely satisfied with my purchase. Hope this helps.

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.

the person we purchased it for is an "A" list celebrity. not being arrogant, just the fact she would know the difference. even better, he husband knows. hope this helps.

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

Only Amazon can make that kind of guarantee, but the bottle I bought seemed to be the real thing.

Depending on who you buy from, mine wasn't real. I got it from the most popular third party perfume seller, so beware of buying from them.

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).

I just got mine in the mail. I have given it a thorough examination and it is almost certainly legit. If it isn't, I think it was less profitable to knock it off so well than it would have been to just become a distributer for Japan Porlex. It seems like there is an active, corrupt, concerted effort to knock this Amazon offering. I almost didn't go for it, because of some of the spooky reviews, but I'm so glad I did.

Yes. I have been wearing this perfume for about a year now. I use to purchase it at the large retail chain and paid double the price for it. Great price, the real product, great size as well.

Mine said "fulfilled by Amazon" and was sold by Sparky NZ.I have several other Quirky Cordies to compare it too and this is definitely a knock off. Very different from the real thing.I tried to leave a bad review and Amazon removed it - explains why it still has so many stars and people are still being sold knock-offs.

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.

No, I think it's not original, thought the box and bottle was ok, but fragrance not last on the body more than 2 minutes. I can compare cause I used to buy this perfume in Italy many times

Yes, it's real. I've used this fragrance for years. The scent, the bottle and the packaging are exactly the same as what I've purchased in the department stores.

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.

I bought it as a gift for my sister and she loved it she has always used this perfume but she did not mention anything about it being fake and as far as I know it smells great hope this helps

100 percent real, just make sure you are purchasing the perfume that says" sold by and ships from Amazon"

I bought it, and yes, it's real. The batch codes check out. You can see this by going to CheckCosmetic.net, clicking on Guerlain, and entering the code off the bottom of the box (also on the bottom of the bottle). It will tell you when the perfume was manufactured. This is the new formulation.

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.

Hahaha, it looks and feels exactly like my previous one that I bought from my local salon/aesthetician...sp? I'm hoping so. But I have heard it's fake if it's from amazon.
