Eau De Kananga by Rigaud
Reviewed by bokaba

Let me first say that Eau de Kananga is a brilliant but not mind-blowing scent. Eau de Kananga, at least the Rigaud version, is not a feminine fragrance and in reality a unisex if not exclusively...

Garofano by Santa Maria Novella, 1828
Reviewed by bokaba

SMN Garofano is a realistic and beautifully orchestrated carnation perfume. It is strong, spicy, and heady with floral overtones. Garofano is spicy, but not as spicy as Caron's Coup de Fouet. It...

The initial freshness is short and followed by a green clary sage note that is complimented by a nice traditional lavender. The brightness remains present in the drydown and is underlined by a...

Javanese Patchouli by Ermenegildo Zegna, 2012

While I've never been to the island of Java, I imagine that this is what an Indonesian forest floor might smell like; dark, earthy, woody & musky. Zegna's Javanese Patchouli is a very...

I NEVER buy from sellers with feedback that low, especially if they seem to have come into large lots of perfumes. Perhaps they are legit, perhaps not.

I've noticed other people avoiding auctions like this, most recently with some very decently priced Bond No. 9 items.

I checked sellers feedback. Only eight feedbacks from buyers, and six of these feedbacks were for items sold for only one GBP. Oh yes, and two pairs of shoes. Not exactly your usual seller of perfumes, I would say.

I have no idea if these are fakes, but the feedback of the seller worries me enough to not buy anything (yet).

Only one way to find out!

I agree with Paisley and Riannon (both well seasoned experts) but on the other hand I lucked out buying from a job lot seller (primarily electronics and office gear) who had apparently happened on to a few bottles of a quality frag without knowing what he had. HOWEVER he's a well-established eBayer with hundreds of positive feedback over three or four years here in the States.

Caveat emptor!!!
