Valentino Men's Born in Roma The Gold Uomo EDT Spray 3.4 oz Fragrances 3614274217155

If I could rate this item zero stars, I would! I'm convinced the Valentino The Gold perfume that I bought is a COUNTERFEIT item and FAKE! I have owned several Valentino Uomo and the Born in Roma collection so I'm speaking from experience. A few of the bottles I have purchased directly from a Valentino store in Los Angeles and Rome, Italy. This bottle and packaging is fake! The packaging arrived smelling like the perfume RED FLAG. I thought the bottle was broken but I suspect the seller sprayed the box and shipping bag with the genuine perfume to make it seem legitimate. The Valentino box did not have the unique code printed on the inside top flap of the box RED FLAG. There is no serial number printed on the bottom of the box as every other legitimate box does. The bottom of the bottle has a printed serial number but it's nowhere to be found on the box RED FLAG. Inspecting the bottle shows several signs of an illegitimate and counterfeit bottle. The pyramid shapes on the neck of the bottle are not well defined and look poorly made unlike the other bottles I own. The gold Valentino nameplate on the bottle is small and doesn't fit the space and also overhangs RED FLAG. And lastly, the vaporizer and perfume is weak and frankly doesn't smell anything like the actual Valentino The Gold perfume that I have tested in stores. This seller is profiting off the scarcity of this limited edition bottle and ripping people off! I could be wrong but I do not believe I am. I returned the item the same day I received it, Do Not Buy!
