    Question authentic?

    hi,
    i'm really interested in buying some chanel no. 5 perfume from a seller that is claiming to be selling 100ml bottles of authentic chanel no.5 for £49.99 rather than the retail price of £80.

    i'm worried that the product is not authentic due to the low price tag...

    help?

    TBH I would not know how to sort fake from real in any fragrance, hence why I don't sell them.

    Is the seller showing a stock picture or the actual item, is there any previous feedback, are they a business or individual?

    If it sounds too good to be true then it could be worth leaving alone

    I can't vouch for a particular seller, and I'm certainly no expert on expensive perfumes, but . . . I get a mail-order catalog from a U.S. company that routinely offers expensive and mid-range perfumes at deep discounts (similar to this seller's discount). I have purchased some of my favorite fragrances from them, and they look and smell like the real thing, and I believe they're authentic.

    The suggested retail prices for items like these are what we'd pay in a high-end department store, where the markups are higher.

    If its the one I just looked at they have no feedback and are not answering any of the many questions

    Not answering questions is a very bad sign. I would definitely not buy from them until they respond and give you some assurances.

    Is Chanel No. 5 manufactured or is it bottled straight at the horse farm?


    Seriously, though, real items tend to not sell below retail cost unless being sold privately by a private seller, and who honestly resells perfume? I'd assume the product is fake if it is cheap. A real name brand like Chanel isn't going to be discounted.

    The biggest truths are always left unsaid.

    The biggest lies are repeated endlessly.

    Looks as if they are an "absent seller" anyway
