I saw Jasina FB page, they seem to carry quite limited brands. Is it?

Is there shipping charges for fragrancex? I select 2 to make total 90plus usd still i see shipping charges on checkout?

Alamak they look same to me..

Fake vs Real

Note the color of the box. Fake boxes have all different shades of black. Authentic boxes come in a very navy-ish tone of black. There is embossing on the real box, no embossing on fake box.

Real vs Fake

Note the base of the perfume tag. The real sticker is printed with a shimmy silver raised ink, very fine and pops up. The fake sticker is printed with normal flat white ink

Real vs Fake

Real bottle caps are heavier than fake bottle caps. Real bottle caps snaps onto the bottle perfectly. Fake bottle caps cant snap on perfectly.

The retailer in Yue Hwa is Bonjour Cosmetics. I havent heard of them selling fakes before, so i'm not too wary about that aspect.

Edit, I know the fake market pretty well. Had some work in China previously and got to know about those fake perfume manufacturers. Some of them imitate the originals very well, some very poorly.

Is Jasina authenic? What is the price range? Say Giorgio Armani Code

You can try fragrancex.com

Alternatively, you can go to the Robinson Orchard (opp cineleisure).. I remember seeing it there.

Does anyone know if the fragrances at Changi Airport DFS are still cheaper than in stores outside or online? I have seen the same brands going for much cheaper and I doubt their authenticities. Any thoughts on this?

Cheaper than retail price (eg dept stores) but generally Mustafa or online are even cheaper

So far, my purchases from them are delivered by DHL. My experience with DHL so far is fantastic; if you not home on weekdays, you can call them and reschedule for delivery on the weekend or during evening-night hours.

Usually if slight over $400, I just ask the vendor to put the total value to $300

 

[alan_smithee]

Anyway, fragrancex offer free shipping. So if you worried about the $400sgd cap for tax, just separate your order.

 

[jejemon]

thank you all will try to see what can i get from fragrancex

 

[rECKleSSfElla]

Need some opinions from the experts here. I am looking to get a bottle of perfume for my dad and i have narrowed it down to Mont Blanc Legend and Mont Blanc Legend intense. Was wondering which of the 2 is longer lasting? Alternatively, what are the recommendations for other fragrances that are similar to Mont Blanc Legend? Thanks.
