Prada Amber & Dior Homme

Hi, I'm interested in these 2 scents offered by someone on Thai ebay. I have touched and tried Dior Homme a long time ago so I can't remember the details of the bottle. And for Prada, I've never seen it real. So please, can you help look at the pics and let me know what you think? Do they look original? The prices are quite low and the seller said that there is no box. He also have sold other items at very low prices (unboxed) and so far no complaints from the buyers.

1. Prada

2.Dior Homme

Thanks in advance for your opinion.

The juice in my Prada amber is a light purple... the one in the pic you posted is a yellowish/gold color. I'd be wary of that... It's possible the coloring in the photo is off, but in no case should purple look yellow.

I agree. I looked at Prada Amber yesterday and it was not the color as shown in your pic, but as rach2jlc says.

I'll third that. I'd be very wary of that.

Thanks for all comments. I have looked on google and the yellowish/gold juice seems to be for female version. But the bottle here, on the label it says Amber pour homme, all I could think is that the bottle is real but has been refilled with bad juice.

The google images are hard to tell as well; I think the female version juice is sort of a pinkish color.

Anyway, the bottle you pictured looks okay, but as you mentioned the juice looks fishy. I'd stay away. Given how popular Prada is now, especially since it just came out recently, means that counterfeiters can make easy, quick bucks off of it. As such, caveat emptor.

I have decided not to bid for it anymore, including Dior Homme. Thanks for the link :-)
