“Some say this is a knock off but I doubt it. I first bought this cologne in the mall about 2011 or 12 and it was never in stock....always sold out. So I had to put my order in and they'd call when they had some more come in. It was 80.00 dollars a bottle till it dropped to 60.00 dollars about 3 or 4 years later It was always bragged about and sold out. They were saying the women were coming by to re-buy it for their men and saying things like it stays on so long. I've compared 2 bottles from here with one of the stock pile bottles I got at the mall and their completely I identical. In my case. Not saying their isn't smell alikes out there but I'm 100% convinced their the same. I haven't bought any from the mall in a couple years. Probably since it dropped to 60 bucks so I don't know if the malls dropped their price's again to compete with Amazons price's or not. Another plus is every girlfriend I've had since I started buying it around 2011 and the ones from Amazon too has said buy it again. The only thing I've found that might be bothersome to some of y'all is it sprays on strong in my opinion. So don't get discouraged. In a couple mins it'll wear down to is smell that will hold”
