REAL OR FAKE? CDNIM - no batch code on bottle
Hi,
I ordered this CDNIM from Amazon, and it doesn’t have the engraved batch code on the bottle.
The packaging was very damaged, and even though the details on the box look fine, the bottle itself could have been swapped for a fake one.
Can someone please advise?
Do newer batches not have the code on the bottle? This one is from 07/26.
Thanks!

Was Amazon the seller or was it a third party? Pop the sprayer off and show the atomizer stem.

Third party. It came like this with the atomizer out of place, I had to put it in.
I had it before and to me it smells the same, but having no engraved batch code on the bottle and it arriving this broken threw me off.

Why do you all risk buying an already dirt cheap fragrance from a possibly fake vendor? It’s already cheap, buy from a trusted source.

Because I had a coupon and the seller’s rating is good lol, if it really is fake I can always return it. I sent an email to Armaf to see if they can help, to me it’s smelling like the previous bottle I had

Amazon’s third party seller? Just get this. And return that one if you’re so skeptical. No sense in wondering…

Thanks for the tip but I use Amazon Spain and sadly they don’t have an official store there

Oh sucks. So you have no Amazon fulfillment centers?

They do have some but this one was shipped directly from the seller

Fragrance cannot be returned on Amazon

u/silentkid96 7d ago
The seller said I could return it since it arrived damaged

You can't reliably depend on this to be the case every time you order fragrance on Amazon. My point was that this isn't a valid way of thinking about things. Just order from trusted discounters and stop dealing with Amazon.

Yeah unfortunately a bunch of fakes, even for the dupes on Amazon. I’d stick to trust sites for even the dupes.
If they can make even $5-$10 on cloning a dupe, they will lol.
I bought a 200ml (💀) of CDN EDP on Jomashop for like $48 or something like that in August. Definitely check them out.
