Hi jgirlfromca,

It depends on the packaging and the names they use. If they're too close to the original brands they can be sued.

I went to a fragrance warehouse, which they had cheep unknown designer fragrances and then behind the counter they had good fragrances.

I bough my marc jacobs parfume behind the counter and everything. It was perfectly wrapped and stuff.But when i put it on, the smell tends to fade fast, does that maybe mean its fake or something cause i didnt buy it at a proffesional well known store.

[perfumecomau]

It could still be a fake even if wrapped. Or old stock. That fragrance should absolutely NOT fade for at least 4 hours, so something is not right.

another stupid Australian current affairs story. It makes no sense at all! it goes from perfume imported from china to a Chinese person selling factory seconds, training camps in Afghanistan, to terrorists selling perfume then the 9/11 attack.

Also the stupid use of words like " war path" "horrifying" and "shocked" in a topic like this.

Typical aussie news coverage unprofessional, useless, misleading and exaggerated.

Truly pathetic.

[perfumecomau]

So, which country do you believe has the best quality current affairs stories? And don't tell me the USA or UK please.

Buy at Macy's and you won't have this problem! I wouldn't ever order online because I believe they are all counterfit.

[perfumecomau]

Yes true, many online stores sell fakes and old stock, but not all. Just choose a reputuable online store. Look for the bigs ones, those with a street address (not post office box & mobile phone number only) and make sure they have a REAL shop too. Good returns policy and plenty of customer testimonials. If you're rich though, and have plenty of time then stores like Macys will glady take your money! :-)

@Slenergetic actually your wrong the dollar store DOES not sell these they sell the bottles in diferent designs, in different packading, that have clearly written on the label "Compare to[name of fragrance]" those are legit and just have more alcohol in them. I came here thinking i was puitting piss on my self but this is about importted wana be look alike blackmarket street dealer shit(that sells for like $10-$20), a reputable dollar store doesn't resell that shit so we're safe.

[dirtyprinztv]

[josepena1127]

Unusual remarks on this video once again.

[k27chicago]

luxuryperfumes,com is fake

[fristpartisan]

Idiots who make fake perfumes should be brought to justice, with maximum penalties. They are destroying art

[Ryan0Ebbers]

The moral of the story is: Don't buy fragrance for a fraction of the retail price from a shady asian woman at a street stand.

@c0ztanza Today Tonight is the tabloid version of video journalism. what did you expect?
