How can you determine the authenticity of the product besides comparing it to what you've smelled in a department store?

There really isn't a way. I have one from the deptartment store & the one ordered thru Amazon. I couldn't tell the difference between the scent, consistency, or the length of time it lasted.

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.

I believe it is authentic, smells the same all the packaging matches what my friend bought at the department store for more money.

Nowhere that I can find. If you are buying one used, I wouldn't have a clue as to its authenticity. The one we purchased from Amazon.com is packed in a Mauviel box and wrapped in a Mauviel bag.

Its the authentic formula, I've actually have bought the copy in the past and even though they both smell great and the price for the copy is much cheaper the authentic formula would say at the bottom (Perfumes Jean Paul Gaultier/ Eau De Toilette). My opinion is that this one is authentic.

I don't think its the real thing either. To me When I order perfume from Fragrance .com or Perfume .com it not real. Its not the same as the department stores.

To the best of my knowledge it was real. Just smell the fragrance and you will be assured!! Or go and price it out at Macy's. You will come running back to Amazon to make your purchase

Not sure. I've smelled the real deal at Neiman-Marcus, and I got the real deal when I bought it on Amazon. It was the correct box and correct bottle. Completely sealed. I guess if you are worried, it would be to go to the department store, but this was a great deal.

I haven't received it yet, so I am not entirely sure. I've been using the product for years and assume that I will be able to determine whether it's authentic when it arrives. Also, other customers have given this seller a good rating, which is a positive sign.

To be honest, I don't know. However, I compared tha bottle and the smell to the one sold in Nordstrom. I didn't see a difference. Overall, I'm happy with it. So I'm hoping its real.

Yes it is authentic, I went to ultra to check if mine was the real deal and it was. If you go to fragrancenet.com You will find better prices. Fragrancenet sells also products in amazon but they have free shipping depending on how much you spend with them.

I wouldn't know between authentic or counterfeit, but the products (shampoo and conditioner) I received are very, very thick and come out of a squeeze tube-like bottle almost like toothpaste. I really like what it does for my hair.

I have used Moroccan products for years so I know right away by the scent if it is the true product. I have never received a fake Moroccan product from Amazon. Com Best of luck to you.

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 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.

Mine appeared to be tampered. The scent of the cologne still seems authentic to me.
