Market Feedback Perfumes GO - Feedback Thread

[Daredvil]

Mate, u clearly dont know what ur talking. Testers do come crazy cheap when imported from abroad. I have never bought or dealt with the op nor know him, infact i had questioned him on certain things(read some pages back on my questions to him), but ur claim on pricing is wrong.
Infact i can get these testers a lot cheaper than the op and i have a manufacturers, trader as well as am a member of perfumery councils and a registered manufacturer. So i know what im talking.

Im not supporting him or his products in any way since i have never smelled them myself. but all i am saying is forget about the price, labels, packaging or caps. Stick to the product. How difficult is it to carry the tester to a mall and test it against the testers there. If you find a difference, thats that i guess..

Lemme do mention one imp thing here. Some perfumers concentration does differ based on the region. For eg, lacoste essential or lacoste green indian version is lighter than the american counterpart. Why? i have no idea but thats what it is... i feel the same about mani armani and tuscan verve.. Anyways hightime someone intervenes here and stops this madness.

I did not want to continue this but you seem to be ignorant about the thread.Most of us know testers are not good as originals in terms of longeviety or projection but they cannot differ on notes and but the product was marketed as being imported from dubai and being as good as original.You seem to be happy spamming instead of knowing the whole story ,people are intrested in atul gupta as he sells the same testers at low price at rs 1200 for adg and 1400 of issey miyake as mentioned in the thread and that guy has sold some fakes and also sells on ebay and has a perfume shop and sells on many stores platforms futuebazar,why would we buy from rivunited when we get the same off ebay at cheaper price.most People have not experienced original perfumes on this thread but they brought seeing the response ,you can check 1st ,2nd go threads some of them complained about longeviety and projection.

I have many pms saying they have horrible longeviety about 1 hrs or 2hrs and smell different from originals .Many people have complained about isseymiyake projection and longevity which is one of the best perfumes in terms of projection and longevity.

Also mods want the courier receipt with his name written of the people who complained ,which should be easy for rivunited to arrange as most perfumes in both goes have atul gupta written on them.but he has not responded.

In interest of future customers two things need to be pointed out clearly,

1. If not all then some perfumes (like ADG) are way off the retail versions. In Most probability they are first copies. The finish of bottles in many cases (eg.mine) is not up to the mark either. The perfumes top notes differ and the longevity is pretty poor. This seems odd as, in case, these are originals then the top notes have to be spot on, as the perpective client might be making his or her decision based on that smell.
2. The courier packages themselves came with the name and number of a certain Atul Gupta, if someone is still interested in buying perfumes, he/she might as well buy it from him at cheaper prices on ebay.

I have not bought any perfumes in in GO and I am not taking anyone's side here.

But want to know one thing since there are a few here who knows a few things about perfume dealers. I guess it was known to all the buyers from the beginning that is we are not fully satisfied with the product we can send it back and get a refund. What does the dealer do with used perfume? These are still in excess of 1.5k. Granted these are testers or whatever you want to call them. If many people return it back isn't it a loss for the dealer

you are right most Original testers come in plain box with serial and details mentioned just the fancy artwork or prints should be missing.On some retail sites like Discount Perfume,Discount Cologne and Discount Fragrances at FragranceX.com,sephora the diff between the price of tester and original is minimal.

 

[hahahari]

I have mine checked out.

From what I understand, my bottle is an ORIGINAL TESTER bottle with a tester label. Actually the fact that its a tester bottle is printed directly on the bottle at the back.Went to the lifestyle and compared the bottles, these look quite original. Then tested the high and base notes on both the original from lifestyle and my bottle from Rivunited. The longevity was tested as well. The tester wore off marginally faster and that was expected by me to an extent.

I had bought a ADG in GO 2.

 

[artattak]

Tested the perfume (ADG) against a showroom piece. And i am sorry to say that my fear was right. The one ADG i got from here feels diluted. It was great in the beginning, first few sprays and now the smell of alcohol feels more strong but the top notes of the perfume itself has reduced considerably and the longevity is completely gone. It didn't even last 1 hour on my wrist and earlier it used to last 12-14 hours from the same bottle. My guess is the perfume content from the bottle has been sprayed and now all that's left is alcohol with little concentrate of the juice. So either fake or diluted. And i am sure the same thing will be true for the other bottles i brought. Without commenting further on this matter or blaming anybody for anything i would like refunds since i wouldn't take chances now that my trust in this is shattered. @Rivunited I'll PM you the details, i'll return ADG (just slightly used) and Terre de hermes (completely as it is) and maybe the Hugo Deep red as well. The Armani mania Cap is broken since i dropped the bottle so i guess i'll have to live with it. Will let you know.

And like @hahahari said the bottle is an original tester, can't say the same about the juice. If i am right you'll begin to notice the change in smell after a little use, say when you bottle is around 10% empty. Actually just noticed my bottle has slightly different info then your's. Check the pic. The showroom tester was more then half empty and quite potent compared to my bottle.

[Gannu]

The tester labels seem to be different from what the 2 members above posted. The ADG I have has the label posted by hahahari.

 

[artattak]

The terre de hermes bottle i have doesn't have the tester label written on it and now i can guess why the top steel plate on the bottle that encircles the cap is loose and have some play in it. Damn

- - - Updated - - -
@Gannu Yes, my label is a little different. No ingredients mentioned and less languages too. I ordered it in GO2

 

[Gauge]

None of the 4 perfumes i ordered has Tester written/engraved anywhere on the bottles. Those 4 perfumes include ADG as well. ADG doesnt have anything printed like that of hahahari or artattak. A different bottle than those shown by them.

 

[hahahari]

Check this page, ACQUA DI GIO / Giorgio Armani 3.4 oz EDT Cologne TESTER 605520300172 | eBay

They have a back shot of the tester label and it states quite clearly that its a tester bottle even on the page.

Did you by any chance felt like it smelled as a rotten egg for the first 10-15mins??

Same here, I got the one similar to this pic and not the other one where its mentioned as Demonstration.
Any updates from the members who went to verify?

 

[Zero Cool]

My bottle is the same hahahari and it is a clear fake. I have compared it with two another bottles of ADG my family members had. Since the day I got It,my bottle was leaking and was filled to the brim. A perfume is never filled to the brim. Also my bottle cap was loose. On closer inspection I found that the bottle neck was loose as well and it was from here that the perfume was leaking. My bottle also had some scratches on it. In most probability my bottle had been reffiled thru a cheaper and more cruder process which is obvious of it being a fake.

 

[Daredvil]

I think it has been a lesson for all of us to buy originals instead of wasting money on fakes.Yes originals may cost more but you have peace of mind and honestly diff in price between real tester and edts are minimal and its for a reason.As far i am concerened i will never be buying any testers atleast not in india.

I have exactly the same experience with my JPG Le Male. I think these are highly diluted perfumes. After first day use mine smell like alcohol and i cannot even myself smell any notes. I have sent a PM to Rivunited and he agreed for replacement. I tried sending it back through overnight (the same courier used by Rivunited) but they refused saying that they don't ship perfume bottles as these are banned.
I don't know what to do. any suggestions.

I am guessing you are referring to the smell of alcohol. Now it strongly smells of alcohol or some sort of chemical with little citrus scent left. Like remnants of ADG. There is no doubt left whatsoever that its fake. I want my money back. Spent almost 7.5k on shitty fakes based on trust. Why are the mods sleeping? @Gannu This guy should be banned from TE and his account suspended and this thread moved to "Hall of shame" And refunds to everyone who wants it - not a choice but mandatory.

 

[indialogue]

FWIW, I've just received my Terre de Hermes and J'Adore order from Rivunited. I cant compare original TDH because I've not seen it in any mall in India yet. However, I thankfully have an original J'Adore of my girl to compare it against. Definitely not right. Sigh. Definitely being sent back for refund

If he is banned, who will process your refunds? He has not denied refunds to anyone in the thread, so if refunds become an issue, then buzz us. In the meantime let me find my pillow.
