There are legit sellers in carousell who sells decant. Just make sure to check their feedbacks as seller.
Are there any other shops that can let me smell first? Went to dollars & scent but they won’t let me
Sephora and tangs
It will not mix well
Went to the beauty fresh sales. The selection for men is much smaller compared to previously. Wanted to find dolce and gabbanna light blue or Chanel bleu, also don't have. Only have two types of Mont blanc, and 2-3 I can't remember what brands for men.
And Chanel egoistic price just went up again. I think last year about $120 nia...

Yup I went too, nothing too interesting this year. Prices not that fantastic too, mostly ladies' beauty products rather than frags.

It’s probably by a company called Allscents - they won’t disclose the scent as usually confidential unless the store didn’t pay the premium rate to keep it exclusive

****PLEASE TAKE SOME TIME TO READ MY POST AS IT MAY PREVENT YOU FROM FALLING INTO THE HANDS OF CUNNING SCAMMERS.****
Beware of the seller, **auth.p** (https://carousell.com/auth.p/). Seller is a woman with a slender figure in her late 20s or maybe even her early 30s. The pictures posted on seller's listings are pictures of *AUTHENTIC* products but victims of hers received *FAKES*. I bought a Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche from her and it turned out to be *FAKE* when she claimed that it's authentic. She is selling it for $110 and I bought it from her at $100. She had the audacity to initiate a meet up at my block to sell to me a *FAKE* perfume. I checked the code and it's the same as the authentic ones. Now, after I went home and under good lighting and closer inspection, there were signs that screamed *FAKE* to me. I have also checked with a Chanel boutique girl and she confirmed it's a *FAKE*. ALSO, the scent is DIFFERENT. Of course, we all know how this goes, no responses to my messages. She even had the audacity to pin the responsibility on me that I was supposed to check when I met up with her when she finally replied to my messages after confronting her on Carousell and that's the ONLY response after the transaction. This appears to me that she is aware that it's a fake and she will be okay with it even if the buyer declines the product as she knows it's a fake. I have gathered a few victims and all of us experienced the same thing. No response to messages after they realised that their claimed authentic purchase was a *FAKE*. I have posted a few pictures to show the differences between an *AUTHENTIC* and a *FAKE* Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche.
****FAKE VS AUTHENTIC****
1) 1st photo is a photo of the *FAKE* CCEF (Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche) that I received from auth.p. Compare it to the second photo which is an *AUTHENTIC* CCEF I bought from a Chanel boutique.
a) The colour of the box.
Fake:
i) Light pink
ii) the WHITE parts of the box is *slightly* yellowish
Authentic:
i) PURPLISH PINK
ii) he WHITE parts of the box is *pretty* yellowish like yellowing books (it doesn't smell that way).
b) Fonts.
Fake:
i) Thinner/Skinnier (Like Arial) and unprofessionally printed
ii) Faded (case by case basis)
iii) WHITE colour
iv) "Eau Fraiche" is a grass green colour
Authentic:
i) Fatter and bolder (Like Arial BOLD) it feels professional
ii) Clearly printed
iii) Yellowish colour
iv) Eau Fraiche is neon like a yellow highligher
2) 3rd photo: pictures of the bottom of the perfumes (same things are printed on it)
Above: Authentic
Below: Fake
Fake:
i) Muddy metal, unclear and scratches all over it (http://chanelmademoiselle.ru/wp-con...3_Recognize-Fake-CHANEL-Chance-Eau-Tendre.jpg)
ii) the dents/ screws on it aren't perfectly on all four corners
iii) the fonts are not clearly printed
iv) Metal is THIN
Authentic:
i) Clear metal with minimal scratches (refer to picture link above)
ii) Dents/screws are perfectly on all four corners (aligned/satisfies your OCD)
iii) Fonts are clearly printed, impressed deeply
iv) Metal is pretty thick (feels professional)
v) There's a 'rainbow' when light source is shone on the metal
3) 4th photo: Caps
Fake:
i) Sharp edges
ii) Logo on top is 'skinnier'
Authentic:
i) Edges don't hurt your fingers
ii) Logo on top is 'fatter'
4) Colour of the liquid
Fake:
i) Light green
Authentic:
i) Yellowish-green
5) Serial number ON THE BACK OF THE BOTTLE:
Fake:
i) CLEARLY visible
Authentic:
i) Barely visible
6) Spray
Fake:
i) Metal rim around the spray (http://s2.dmcdn.net/M2lDC/1280x720-6GU.jpg) Picture doesn't belong to me but my fake product can relate to this.
Authentic:
i) NO metal rim around the spray (refer to the picture link above)
7) The bottoms of the perfumes (GLASS)
Fake:
i) higher (lesser liquid)
Authentic:
i) lower (more liquid)
8) Spray tubes.
Fake:
i) Wider at the top near the spray
Authentic:
i) Consistent width
PLEASE ALSO GOOGLE HOW TO RECOGNISE A FAKE PERFUME. YOU CAN PM ME FOR MORE DETAILS AND ASK ME QUESTIONS
Shop safe!
I got scammed by her too before, i think around the same time as you. Bought a Chanel Fraiche perfume, the smell was slightly different than original. There were also tell-tale signs but i can't remember.

Careful for fakes! Sometimes not worth it to buy at discount from ppl: esp on Carousell.... I got cheated
Sasa ok? Sometimes 30 percent off
If i recall correctly, the retail is $219.
