Those are good! Any Tom Ford on the list? Tuscan Leather is amazing!
I love Tom Ford but I limit myself to a top of $120 a bottle and I really REALLY have to love the scent. My YSL Y le parfum cost about 120 after real bargain hunting, and I kind if regret it. Love the scent, fell in love with it using a tester on a strip, but the thing is a skin scent, has no projection. Also, it doesn't last too long.
I just ordered the Y eau de parfum version whose formulation is supposed to be very very long lasting and projects like a beast.
I found the 10pml for 89 bucks plus tax which is obscenely cheap from a highly rated ebay seller. I know the tells of an authentic, so when it comes in I'll see if it is. I also found great deals on r/fragranceswap on new in box bottles of my kouros and spicebomb extreme. They have a lot of niche and higher end stuff for sale. I did get scammed by one user because I drunk ordered and didn't realize he had been banned and didn't comment on my post, rather messaged me directly.
Users there have a flair that tells you how many sales/purchases they made so you can more easily trust, and if they don't comment on your [WTB] (willing to buy) post, they are likely banned and cannot comment so that should have been a red flag.
But drunk me got anxious, saw a great deal, paid $200 for 3 lightly used bottles (chanel parfum, Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male, and YSL Y edp)
Haha you can sniff out the fakes! Good job on the deals, its always great when you can get a great scent at a great price!
There are often awesome videos on YouTube showing you key details in the originals that even really good fakes lack. From the cardboard paper, to the text placement on the image, to seems or texture on the cap, etc.
This is a great example:

With that I'll likely be able to tell before even removing the package wrapping :)
