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.

I ordered one and it was not authentic. I called Amazon customer support and explained the problem. They said they "do not tolerate merchants selling knock offs" and sent me a new one overnight (and said that I should send back the first one). They said they would call to check if the replacement was authentic. The replacement arrived and it too was not authentic, so I ended up returning that one as well. I echo the "buyer beware." I don't care if this one is $100.00, if I'm going to pay $150+ for a hair dryer, it better be the real deal. I'm going elsewhere.

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.

I had no way of checking, and just gambled with it. In my opinion, it's the real deal and I'd order it again. I love the scent, and I get compliments on it, so that's good enough for me! Good luck! (please let us know if you order and get a bad bottle?)

I think this is a valid question, I have received a fake product not from amazon yet from 3rd party amazon seller a perfume seller who said it was authentic and was not. I ordered this Moroccan oil and it is not sealed packaging and I was okay yet cannot be sure its authentic because packaging was not sealed.

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.

Not sure why. Every seller has their price but I've bought from the seller fragrancenet before and it was authentic. Not a knock off.

It's supposed to be genuine. I'd order from amazon directly to avoid getting scammed.

The one I got from I think perfumesworld.com was definately fake. Not only did they charge me for the shipping but I had to pay to send the package back. Cost me $20 to send fake perfume back. I would not recommend buying an perfume you can smell first. Not worth the chance that you will get a fake.

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.

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.

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.

With all my respect to the other people that answer is authentic, is not. I being using this fragrance since 1983. Even the bottle they send me is not authentic. Maybe you purchase from another vendor but the one I received is not authentic. It smell ok but not like the real one and it does not last long like the original.

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.

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.

Hi! Well, I'm not sure how you can know which seller is good or not. Anyways, i bought mine with FragranceAlley and they had a pretty good price and the product is 100% original. :]

I've never gotten the juicy couture parfum but I just bought a sample bottle for $14!!! I love the smell of this!! But I'm afraid this one might not be the real stuff. My box is baby pink with white stripes, the look of the box is not the same or the bottle. Am I able to return this if it doesn't smell like the sample i got? Anyone think this is real? I just don't see how they can sell it for $30 when on the juicy site its $90! And where is this coming from?
