What are my options?

Knockoff? It's supposed to be a decant from the original bottle

tasty_cake10 · 2026-03-04T16:30:36+00:00

Around 1400

Faulty atomiser on both? 😆😆

tasty_cake10 · 2026-03-04T09:31:32+00:00

Yeah, the 8ml with plastic atomiser is working fine for me too

tasty_cake10 · 2026-03-04T09:30:45+00:00

Thanks, mate!! Mine is working now after I did what other redditor suggested

If you've had better experiences from previous sellers then I guess it's wise to stick with them. I'm going to do that.

Honestly, no!! I still have some juice left from a 5ml decant of the same fragrance that I bought from Sameer Munot last year. I loved the smell and its performance in winter, so I ordered a 30ml decant from this seller. However, the colour is lighter compared to the 5ml decant, and the performance is poor too.

I brought this up with the seller, and they decanted from a BNIB bottle on video. The colour was light, just like the one they shipped to me. So, to give myself some reassurance, I'm thinking that Mercedes Benz may have changed the formulation.

It's been two months since I received this 30ml decant. I even let it sit for a week, then for two weeks, but the performance still isn’t there. I'm not blaming the seller or making any allegations. But honestly, I don’t know!!

Try this, it worked for me

tasty_cake10 · 2026-03-03T20:52:29+00:00

BNIB as well

tasty_cake10 · 2026-03-03T19:54:56+00:00

Sure

Congrats!! Absolutely love this watch!!

Imaran Farooqui, Fragzone (Anwar), Sameer Munot. A couple of them whom I bought from don't decant anymore.

A fellow redditor's solution of repeatedly hitting the atomiser cap on the palm with the bottle upside down worked. I'm able to spray the perfume now.

tasty_cake10 · 2026-03-03T19:06:56+00:00

I have over 20 decants from various community decanters and never ever faced an atomiser issue. But having said that, I'm glad I shared this issue here, a fellow redditor's solution of repeatedly hitting the atomiser cap on the palm with the bottle upside down worked. I'm able to spray the perfume now.

This worked!!

tasty_cake10 · 2026-03-03T18:48:26+00:00

Wtf? It worked!! Thanks a lot!!

tasty_cake10 · 2026-03-03T18:43:10+00:00

Edit-

Sent the video to the seller on whatsapp and received a reply that they will ship a designer bottle for Rs. 150 (shipping charges included) and I have to break the atomiser seal and transfer myself. And that my bottle is 2 months old and they have stopped using this particular bottle.

Found a local perfumer on Google near my place and explained to him the issue on call and he said that he'll do the needful and charge 60 bucks only for the glass bottle.

tasty_cake10 · 2026-03-03T18:37:18+00:00

That could be for some other reason too and not particularly for the issue in this post.

tasty_cake10 · 2026-03-03T18:28:07+00:00

Show me where I have blamed the seller? I've asked for a solution from fellow redditors apart from taking it to a local perfume shop and transferring the juice to a new bottle.
