This RARE, DISCONTINUED fragrance is 100% Authentic Guaranteed! Unfortunately a label with a strong adhesive stuck to the bottom of the bottle. When I pulled it off, the manufacturer’s label stuck to it & also came off the bottle. To make sure the specific batch code (38T1003) was visible I took pictures showing the label being removed from the bottle (see attached pictures).Each fragrance that I buy & sell are acquired through one highly reputable company that owns an A+ rating through the Better Business Bureau. I’ve been exclusively buying fragrances from them for years & have never been sold a “fake” fragrance.All of the bottles I purchase come without its retail box. This is because each bottle comes from a box that was damaged in some (usually very minor) way. Usually either the cellophane wrap begins to come off, or a box is dented or ripped. Once this happens, the bottle is salvaged from its compromised packaging & I am able to buy it as part of my monthly consignment order.
