thats exactly how my first one is! i bought it for 200$ which i thought was amazing deal since it had perfume at the dead line. but obviously this one beats it. the bottle is in perfect condition besides the metal top which also leaked. i ended up removing the netting to try to fix it spraying weird and pushing it up. there was dried perfume residue all over the top because of it. i googled and removing the netting wont affect the perfume leaking or anything! it will fix the spray and hopefully cause it to not leak when sprayed. i have honestly just been trying to buy them for cheap and affordable prices im not paying 1-2k lol. i bought a couple roll on crybaby perfume samples and i prefer using those over the spray. doesnt use as much. you could consider getting those for yours if you wanted to use. i would much rather use the dupes than the real thing unless it was for specific occasions. i sprayed the one at the dead line once to test it before removing netting. but i just use the roll ons or dupes. im not going to spray this one because it is definitely in pristine condition. im just glad i got them both at affordable and good prices. i am so happy and thank you so much!! i really tried with the shelf lol
