Why Do Parfumes Ordered Online Always Smell Watered down?

Hi Guys,

I have searched the web high and dry and tried multiple websites and recommendations. Maybe it is just me, but the ones I have ordered online always seem watered down. I end up picking them at airports and speciality stores and they sillage seems to be longer than the same ones I order online.

Guys please recommend sites that ship genuine products.

Thanks!

  • Cheap legal perfumes are quite watered down by design.

    There's a word for it that I forget and some other words for perfumes at stronger concentrations.

  • Could you be buying https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eau_de_toilette by accident?

    If not, they are probably fakes like you suspect.

    Where are you getting them? Probably old stock.

  • U need to buy Edp nor edt

  • Counterfeit?

  • Fakes or watered down rubbish. Don't support this dodgy industry. I got burnt from an online seller recently. Did not smell anything like the real product.

  • I've always thought this too. Also, is there ANY difference to a certain perfume/cologne you buy at a chemist and somewhere like Myer besides the price difference? Are the cheap chemist ones watered down or lower grade with the same brand?

    • Like food, many factors can alter the chemical components ie. Storage (should be light proof and in a cool room), fresh vs old stock. Myer and David Jones most likely have fresher stock and items were transported correctly. I've seen perfumes being placed against the window with the sun shining on them at chemist warehouse-avoid.
