Designer Perfume at 645 East Shaw Avenue # 9, Fresno, California.

I bought a bottle of Ralph Lauren Romance for my wife for 80.00 from this kiosk and was assured that it was 100 percent authentic... same perfume is 95.00 at Macys so thought not a bad deal. Right?

WRONG?

For this small savings, the perfume I got was somehow "off"... My wife has been using this perfume for 5 years and could tell right away something was not right about it. It came out very strong and did not last all day like a quality perfume should.

I took it in to Macys to compare to the known genuine product and see if I could spot anything that looked fake. I could not. But when comparing the scent myself and with Macys employees, we all agreed something was not right about it.

I purchased a new bottle from Macys and proceeded to Designer Perfume to request a refund. It was slightly past the 30 day return policy, but I figured that with clear evidence in hand, they would make an exception. They held firm to store policy even after I explained that it was a gift and had only been opened for 2 weeks. I even offered to take 60.00 for it to resolve. They would do nothing.

Good lesson in getting what you pay for...

I don't know what was wrong with it, maybe a fake, maybe too old or a bad batch or poorly stored, I don't know. What I do know is that little bit of savings was not worth it...
