It's so tempting :\\ but I'm going to assume it's fake due to the ridiculous prices. Your thoughts?

Cheers.

That's around what they normally cost, right?

They're both normally double or even triple that price, depending on where you go :\\

Have no reference for the second one, but the price on the Issey is substantially lower than what I would think it would sell for online.

That's British sterling, though, so it would translate to around 45 bucks here, which is not way too low. I guess it's a good deal. I dunno, K-Mart sells L'eau d'Issey. It's pretty common here in the states.

The Issey is probably top 3 most faked frag. if you are suspect of either dont risk it. Unless that shady looking website offers some sort of consumer protection.

I just looked at this website. I wouldn't purchase anything there! They don't supply addresses or any phone numbers! Maybe I'm wrong, but I would rather pay more, and use a legit site always! I buy all my fragrances etc., online and have never had a problem with delivery, or fake products. Better to go on the well known sites, rather than risk it. Here are a few you can look at.
Escentual.com
FragranceX.com
Fragrancenet.com
Feelunique.com. (This one has free shipping worldwide).

I use these the most, as well as Amazon.com.

Hmm I just ordered Armani code 75ml their for £12.99, and they only work via bank transfer. Il do the transfer tomorrow and il give feedback within the next week or so. Tbh I couldn't care less if I loose 13 quid. Anyway I think there shit might be stolen hence the prices.

Site looks dodgy as hell. Although usually the scam sites have a fake checkout page which allows people to enter their card details which are then harvested and used by the scammers to go on a shopping spree.

In this case they take bank transfers and cheques to a residential address in kent.

I don't reckon they're selling stolen stuff, it's more likely they will not send you anything or a fake.

I did a little research

Hotukdeals.com/misc/anyone-ever-bought-anything-from-www-starlight-time-co-uk-961439?page=3

"I bought some D&G light blue perfume and its a copy"

"my bank account has been locked due to attempted fraud"

I don't mind wasting £12 but attempted fraud is a huge concern for me, I will not be buying from this site so I take back my previous comment about giving feedback on the site.

They most certainly do sell fake products! I was foolish enough to order Paco Rabanne Black XS & Victor & Rolfe Flowerbomb from them. I bought the XS for my boyfriends birthday present. When he took it out of the box, it was so obvious that it was a copy - and a particulary dire one at that! Did not even resemble Black XS on the slightest. I have emailed the company demanding a refund and they assure me I will receive one if full upon return of the afdtershave. I won't hold my breath though. I have sent them back & will let you know what the outcome is. PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT ORDER FROM A LITTLE BIT OF MAGIC!!!
