Have bought Floris products on Ebay and have no doubt they were absoolutely genuine - no problem at all. However, I agree you have to be careful and I wouldn't touch Tiffany or Louis Vuitton. Sheila

LOL... did they smell the same Suzanne?? ;~) I've bought Perfume on Ebay at half the rip off price they charge in the shops. Have bought Issey Miyake, L'eau....Dior, Pure Poison.....Paco Rabanne, Ultra Violet amongst others. It's like everything else on Ebay, you have to use your common sense. *Avoid all foreign sellers ( China / Hong Kong /Dubai) *Avoid slick professional looking listings. (Possible they're churning out cheap copies on mass) *Avoid a listing that looks home done individual seller, but has either no photo or a prfessional pic robbed from another site. ( If you're not looking at the item you're buying it's probably dodgy) *Always check out the feedback....Average amount of feedback is more likely to be just someone selling on an unwanted gift. *Always look for a genuine photo. You can tell if a photo has been taken on someone's bed or on the kitchen worktop.... It's an indicator that you're buying what you see. *Don't bid on a perfume that doesn't have a box and looks almost orange....Odds on it's been sat on someones shelf for 3 or 4 years in the sun and now smells like cat pss. * And last but not least... pay by Paypal, that way if it all goes tits up you stand a chance of getting your money back! All the best XXX A very fragrant Sioux :~D

I MUST ask the question,LOL with my warped sense of humour, would the after shave go well, on chips? and the vinegar be fragrant,on a freshly shaved chin? Bob

If i got some aftershave made from vinegar, i'd cry. I hate vinegar so much, I have to move if someone near me has it on their food. I can't stand the horrible stuff. I shudder at the thought of that on my skin
