      Why do people not trust Ebay ?? You can see how long the seller has been active you can see their rating and all their feed back for up to 1 year back. How can you go wrong with ebay ???

    That perfect first spray means the bottle was already sprayed and repacked. I had that with a few Armaf CDNI Men bottles that I returned a few years ago. I watched a few Xerjoff unboxings halfway through this video and I noticed what you said. Xerjoff's packaging and presentation is an important feature of the brand.

      Indeed but they do however sell or have sold them in those style boxes. The plastic insert the bottle sat on was a red flag because it was crumbling and falling apart. But they did turn out to be authentic.

    That happen to me when I first TRIED to buy Lacoste L. 12 12 Noir from ebay. You could just TELL something was "janky" about it from first-glance then I checked out a youtube video and found out FOR-SURE I had a fake and months later after I got an authentic bottle from FrangranceX I realized the fake wasn't even Noir it was BLUE! It smells good but I CAN'T wear it or put it on my shelf next to my REAL colognes but I was just out about 30 bucks so it wasn't that big of a deal but you're out $100's of dollars! That's why I never buy fragrances from ebay anymore just FrangranceX, Fragrancenet and Amazon for me. I feel for you bro!

    I have purchased all my Xerjoff’s directly from Xerjoff. No discounts, but that extra money is what I pay to feel a peace of mind that what I have is the real deal through and through. And the packaging and presentation that come from Xerjoff is cheer elegance. It’s supreme. I could tell immediately without your showing the bottles and other details that those boxes with those big letters aren’t Of Xerjoff elegance. Sorry to see you have been duped like that. Nobody deserves that. I wouldn’t just go by the smell. The chemicals inside those juices may no be salubrious. The chemicals can be harmful for your health.

    This is why I use Paypal for any purchase with a new seller. I ordered this one frag on Ebay only to find it was coming from India!
    Thankfully I used Paypal cause a month later the item never showed up.
    Tracking number didn't connect to anything...
    Contacted the seller 4 times over the course of that month...nothing...
    Contacted Ebay, they said I had to wait for a shipping update...well the seller ain't answering.
    Went to Paypal and explained it all...immediate refund on the spot!
    That's what's up.
    THEN the seller contacted me saying why did I take their money back. I laughed and told them to go find their item and sell it to someone else while I leave this negative feedback.

It’s against the law to sell fakes and I feel that if a site is gonna allow it then they should at the least make them put up a full disclosure of what the product actually is. I would have never bought it if it said fake or dupe. I in this case expected the real deal.

      Well they turned out to be authentic after all. They cheap looking boxes threw me off. I had them checked out

      Maybe you don’t use them as much as they did. It’s possible these were the only two they owned. Who knows my guy. Either way, like I said I’ve sold them since then and have moved on. No worries here

    Thx for this video, but if I may ask when you bought the erba gold and muse, did the listing say NEW or Like New or pre-owned? And by the way, how long did the Muse last on your skin? I'm thinking if both of these 2 frags you got lasted more than or close to 10 hours then you probably have the real ones hahaha but my suggestion is to go to a bloomies or other high end mall and take your bottles to inquire if yours are the real thing or not 😉

      They turned out to be real. The packaging was suspect. It looked terrible but the fragrances ended up being real. I’ve recently sold them both. They both lasted over ten hours easily. Muse was more feminine to me and I didn’t wear it but once. Gold was really good.

      I’ve seen that name a time or two but I’ve never tried them. The two fragrances in the video did however turn out to be real and I had since apologized to the seller. I did however sell them recently and downsized my collection a bit.
