Is this the real perfume or a generic?

I have no idea. The Bvlgari perfume I recommended was for women and it was definitely real perfume.

It's the real thing not a fake. But it is a toilette spray like it says. Hope this was helpful.

The packaging and the scent are identical To the previous bottle I purchased from a local beauty store. I also trust Amazon to provide a disclaimer if it were not authentic. Hope this helps.

It's a retail item but its not the perfume its the toilette . At least it's packaged like it was when it it was sold at Nordstrom ! :)

I believe it is the old fragrance. I ordered it for a friend & she said it smells just like the one I had.

It is not the original scent and not very appealing I might add. It seems all that is circulating for purchase is an imposter. The identifier for the real cologne is the wood round top. The imposter is marketed with a silver top. Hope this helps. EJW

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.

No, I do not find this to be a knockoff. The fragrance lingers and smells the way it always has. I've noticed that some reviewers have not had a good experience, but my bottle is the real thing.

The bottle I have is real. It's gorgeous and it lasts the same as my previous bottles. Amazon seems to get really good prices on select perfumes. Another Guerlain at a great price is their Samsara eau de parfum. Also, they have Lanvin Arpege at a sensational low price. I don't have the Samsara yet, but I have the Arpege and it, too, is the real mccoy. As I remember, my Shalimar may not have come from Amazon directly. I think it came from a third party. There could be a difference depending on who actually fills the order.

Oh you bet it's not the same. This is a question for the fragrance vendor, not the purchaser. What I received smelled like insect repellant and was thrown away.

Mine was definitely a knockoff. I have been wearing this fragrance for years and knew immediately. I complained and was immediately refunding the price I paid. I was told sometimes when the fragrance is old it looses it's original smell. Hmmm. In any event, they stood by their product. As an aside, I ordered another fragrance from a different seller and it was authentic.

The person that I gave it to didn't mention it as being a knockoff and it's her favorite perfume so she would know fake from the real thing.

Unless it is a store like Macy's or is an actual perfume store, I would buy it online. Most of the time, it's cheaper and when you stick with reputable merchants, it's not a knock off. Hope I was able to help.

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.

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

I have been a user of this fragrance for years. Something happened and they change the formula and the packaging.No, is not the original but I don't think the original exists any more.If your are a new user you won't notice the difference. It will last the same on you and smell alarmist the same.In my humble opinion.

In my opinion, it is generic or natural which is what I would think most people would prefer for this type of product. The scent reminds me of the soap we used back in grade school when you washed your hands at the sink in the classroom. And then you dried your hand on the rough brown paper towels!
