Hard to tell from those pics, but I'm not seeing anything that would indicate that it's a fake. Most fakes are well-done to the point now that you will need to hold the bottles side-by-side to make a clear conclusion. Best way to tell is to go to A&F and try them side-by-side

Indeed, but i'm from Russia, A&F has no stores here, and i haven't seen any A&F cologenes at local fragrances shops at all

If it smells the way you remember it to smell, there should be no problem.

check the seller's feedback. click on the negatives, look for "fake, smells watered down, smells off" etc. Thats your best way to tell if the seller is legit.

Your probably good. I would search on the for sale board on here in the future. These people are reliable and you'll probably get it for a lot less.
