Reliable website for genuine perfume

Hi, typing one handed so pls excuse spelling etc. my "signature" perfume is hard to find in physical shops so i'd like to order a stash online but it seems too cheap to be genuine on Amazon/eBay shops. I don't want it cheaply, and I do want it to be genuine, but it is such a random one I also wonder if anyone would bother to fake it. Cabotine de Gres Eau de Parfum spray, not stocked by Boots etc. are there any perfume sites which I can be sure are genuine?

Give fragrance direct a try, I have used them - they also visit my work place and are genuine.

Cabotine has never been expensive and appears to have drifted further downmarket, so I wouldn't be surprised if the prices are dimestore territory now. It is not expensive to manufacture most perfumes, so what you are seeing is probably not fake. Licence holders change, marketing costs are cut, formulas are made even cheaper. See this review here.

Thanks for suggestions, fragrance direct only have the edt, does anyone have any other sites they can recommend? Thanks

Strawberrynet.com might be worth a shot. Is all genuine products and has some brands I never would have heard of

I've often bought from Amazon and its always genuine, they're really strict about it. I've also never had problems with ebay. You can also try fragrancedirect and allbeauty, which is one of my favourites.

To be honest, Cabotine is usually under a tenner. If someone was going to sell fakes they would pick an expensive one.

MissBattleaxe · 13/09/2015 11:16

Also- I don't think I've never seen the EDP for sale, only the edt. Have you bought some in the past?

MissBattleaxe · 13/09/2015 11:17

Ah here it is www.allbeauty.com/perfume/9972-gres-cabotine-eau-de-parfum-spray-100ml

I can recommend allbeauty. I've ordered tons from then and its free postage over £15. Takes a week.

I also highly recommend all beauty.com.

What? £25 for free delivery! Tut. Still one of the cheapest sites though. I can spend ages on the 0-£10/perfumes/ for her search box. Some really good bargains for me and for giftage purposes .

Iagreemrsdevere- you're welcome! happy to help. PS You have great taste- Cabotine is a fabulous green scent.
