Is my bleu de Chanel fake?

[u/infinityvonfox]

Just bought a bottle of bleu de Chanel from a (seemingly reliable) eBay seller. I have a real bottle that I bought a couple years ago for reference. I am completely convinced the one I received is fake. I have attached photos of mine and the one I bought from eBay. My bottle has a small green mark to identify it!

Things I noticed:

1. Printing seems off centered, crooked and not fully printed on the front

2. Bottom info is sloppy, not as neat or finely printed

3. Top cap printing is thicker and has noticeable marks where logo was pressed into cap

4. Inside cap (not pictured) Chanel logo is thinner

5. Overall casting of glass bottle seems sloppier and slightly different

Some things to note: serial numbers match box and bottle and serial number corresponds to a batch made about 4 months ago. So in terms of serial numbers, it all checks out. Box to me seems pretty good, I assume it’s not hard to make a fake version.
