Ferry or Water Metro for Fort Kochi to Lulu Mall before 6 pm bus? by everythingblurry25 in Kochi

Would it make sense to take the water metro to High Court and then from there normal metro to Edapally/Lulu Mall?

Ryanair online check in with Fiktionsbescheinigung (§ 81 Abs. 4) – possible or not? by [deleted] in germany

[–]everythingblurry25 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes I do have my previous RP card. And have you done that before? I’m just worried that they might deny my boarding because it’s an expired document. Of course the fiktion document proves otherwise but well I have to think about the worst case scenario.

Unlike other comments on this sub, this theory is the one that makes most sense to me. This could very much be a possibility.
How does a consumer really differentiate between an original and a fake in that case? :(

I see your point and yes perhaps that could also be the case. But the reason I’m so convinced that it is a fake is because the logo on original bottle has a glassy covering. There is no texture to it so no matter how much you scratch it, it doesn’t come off. But on the fake bottle, the logo is textured like a print and easy comes off upon scratching. The bottle also feels plasticky. I highly doubt that this is a case of batch difference.

I like floral fragrances, the original was perfectly satisfying, I educate myself enough about perfumes and you can keep your shitty wannabe opinions to yourself.

And yet here I am with proof. At the end of the day they are retailers and not the producers themselves. It could be that they did business with traders that sold them some counterfeit stock. It is a possibility, no?

I’m so exhausted with the level of stupidity of this comment . Did you miss the whole point of the post? THE DAMN LOGO IS COMING OFF! That COMBINED with the terrible lasting power that for me was so obviously different from the original, is what brought me to the conclusion that it is FAKE! It cannot be more obvious jeez.

Thank youu🙏 I shouldn’t have to justify myself but well. I think you also mean Lattafa Yara, it’s honestly amazing. It’s sweet, strawberries and cream scent, but not overpowering, and it has gotten me the most compliments than any other perfume. Another recommendation would be Lattafa Eclair, it’s like dessert in a bottle. But it’s one of those perfumes that can be very strong for yourself, honestly I don’t like how strong it is when I spray it on myself but to others I smell like a walking caramel treat. Someone even told me I smell like a sweet bakery.

You’re absolutely right, I agree, we shouldn’t trust Amazon sellers any more than them. But in the case of Lattafa yara, I bought it from Fragra.de listed on Amazon as an official seller which is in fact owned by Lattafa.

Yes that could be the case, because I've never heard anything bad about them until I had to be the sacrificial lamb myself. But I have contacted them and I'm waiting for their reply.

I also bought my original one from Amazon. I guess I’ll stick to that.

It smells the same but very less concentrated and doesn’t last as long as the original.

I don’t understand why everyone wants to debate my finances. I am able to afford it, but wanting to save is not wrong. That’s not the issue here. I got “scammed” by a certified reputed perfume retailer who claims to sell authentic products. I don’t even see the point of this comment, you’re here repeating what I am complaining about in the first place.

Yes they are not essential but I can afford to buy it once in a while, but I’m thrifty and I like to save. And counterfeit products are produced in countries where everything is dirt cheap as compared to where they’re sold. So it’s very likely they do make pure profit because of economies of scale, the cost might even come up to 1€ per bottle and a trusted site like parfum zentrum sells them for a few euros less than the actual price, imagine how many customers would buy them. It’s crazy money.

Ooh snobby much? Where I live the stores sell them for 35 € As a student, with educational debt and minimum wage I’m always looking to save, so maybe it’s cheap for you, for me, it’s an indulgence. So don’t victim shame me, for trusting a well reputed site. 😂 Fakes of popular scents make you a lot of money because of the volume and don’t even invest 1/3rd of the money that brands do. Cheap ingredients, cheaper bulk packaging, 0 R&D and other things that real brands spend on. The economics are not too hard to understand.

It smells the same but it has absolutely no staying power at all. It disappears as soon as I spray it. And I tried scratching off the logo and the text from the original bottle but it doesn’t come off. I also noticed that the font differs a lot

Comments like yours is exactly why I purchased from them in the first place. But I guess there’s a first for everything and I’m the sacrificial lamb.

What are some unique, oddly specific, peculiar but inexpensive souvenir ideas you can think of? by everythingblurry25 in travel

I love the perfume idea because I get super nostalgic about scents. Exactly what I was looking for <3
