Guys want to know where do you normally buy your perfumes...do you buy from shops like pantaloons, westside, etc.... are the prices overly expensive or something? or from customs shops?

are the perfumes available on ebay trustworthy? and original?
i saw Aqua Di Gio by Giorgio Armani for Rs. 999/- on ebay but on www.perfume2order.com it costs Rs. 3,886/-.

has anyone shopped from here? how was the experience?

Don't ever buy perfumes online.
Go out to shops and check.

BTW once every week Big Bazaar has a Deodrant/Perfume Sale where you can get any perfume for less than Rs. 100

Agreed. Try and buy.
Check out stores like Shoppers Stop and Lifestyle. They do have very good collections.

Can you link me to Ebay link. With little review, one can find it is real or not.

But from personal opinion, the products on ebay international are usually *geniune* due to very big stores buying at bulk and Paypal refund and chargeback policy

Please link since i wanted that perfume aswell :D

Here is the link, he has got quite some brands with him.

i asked the seller whether he is selling original perfumes or not. he answered that they check for the genuineness of the perfumes after importing and only after that they sell. believing him is a different thing, but atleast hes got positive reviews from his buyers.

hey dude if you or anyone from here buy from this fellow then please let me know if its ok to buy from him. as i got myself a dunhill (which btw in US is abt $30, and i got it for Rs. 3,700/-!!!!) , i wont be able to buy now, maybe next month i will.

Hmm...he seems to be a new seller....i wont trust him though

I suggest, you get it internationally by paying via Paypal or if you dont have one, then buying Paypal balance from someone on this forum

*cgi.ebay.com/GIORGIO-ARMANI-ACQUA-...s=65:15|66:2|39:1|240:1318|301:1|293:1|294:50


Cost about 3000 for 200ML

I think if you have someone abroad, you can ask them to buy you one. They are supposed to be good and cheap there.

Trust me Perfumes is not something that you will want to buy from abroad or ask someone to get it.Its not worth it.

Last time i was on Geneva (Switzerland)Airport,incidentally which is duty free, i thought the prices in native Indian Grey market were pretty competitive.

However that is, if you know your perfume by heart so taste it and then only commit on buying natively.I have had enough perfumes from grey market that i have altogether stopped getting perfumes from abroad when i shop.
