Re: Fake Creed GIT - Comparison Pics

Personally I will not buy from anybody other than Les Senteurs from now on as they're the appointed seller in the UK. The only way to guarantee your chances of getting a real product is by getting...

Re: Fake Creed GIT - Comparison Pics

I have now been in contact with the vendor, advised them of my concerns and they have asked I return the product to them for a full refund. They were unable to confirm which distributor they get...

Re: Fake Creed GIT - Comparison Pics

My gut instinct tells me it's a very well execute fake. I know what it should smell like and this just isn't it. The serial on the bottle reads A3201B08 which apparently indicates it dates to 2008....

Re: Fake Creed GIT - Comparison Pics

Here's a quick tester for anybody out there with a genuine bottle and box.

If you remove the inner packaging from the box so you've just got the shell of the box left, does it say inside, at the...

Re: Fake Creed GIT - Comparison Pics

Yep, it's White. This is the thing. It is to all intents and purposes a genuine looking item but for the punctuation errors in the leaflet e.g: Turkey, or Morroco (since when does a comma go before...

Re: Fake Creed GIT - Comparison Pics

Hi All

I'd be grateful of some views and opinions.

I recently bought a 120ml bottle of G.I.T from an online vendor. The thing that puts doubt in my mind is the smell. I've bought G.I.T twice...

Hi

Has anybody in the UK ordered from www.fragrancex.com ?

Can you relate whether you had any issues with Customs on arrival in the UK? Invariably, we just can't get access to certain...

Re: Givenchy Gentleman

It has taken well over a year but I believe I'm finally beginning to understand this monster fragrance. I've never owned the old version. I had a bottle of the new version but just could not get on...

Re: Van Gils classic.

I don't like buying fragrances of ebay, I can never trust their authenticity. Some of the Power Sellers sell anything & everything and that alone turns me off.

So, it looks like I'll be moving to...

Van Gils classic.

Hi

Does anybody know where I can get a bottle of this stuff? I'm in the UK and it's more hard to find than Unicorn Piss.

Any leads, please let me know.

With thanks
Carl.

Re: Looking for GIT, not in the ending 01 LOT

I've always found www.escentual.com to be ideal for all my fragrance buying. Creed prices have definately increased though!

Re: Do you ever finish a bottle?

Great question! I only finish some, others tend to sit there and go off. Green Irish Tweed was the last bottle I finished and I kept the empty bottle so I could still pull the cap off and get a...

Re: Newly addicted to fragrance

Nope, you are not crazy or.....we're all crazy on Basenotes. This is what the love of fragrance is all about. For some it's the appreciation of the many different types. For others, like me, it's...

Re: I want a CREED cologne, but which ONE??

For me, taking the cap off the first bottle of Green Irish Tweed you've ever bought and smelling it for the first time is a thing you will remember. I've had women and several straight men ask me...

Penhaligons Douro - Eau De Portugal

50ml and still in it's box. I won this but it's not my cup of tea. I sprayed it once on my arm and that's all I have used. Nice enough just not really 'me'.

Make me an offer I can't refuse :-)...
