Best knockoffs and schedules for liquidation sales????

Thread Starter 
1) I used to buy these knockoffs that were spot-on. They all came in the same bottle: kind of similar to the Paco Rabanne XS bottle. I haven't seen these in ages. Anyone else recall these? If not, any ideas as to the best sources for knockoffs?

2) Every so often there will be a convention-center type sale wherein there will be a vendor or two selling fragrances cheap. I missed the last one and don't want to miss them again. Anyone know of a way to track such events?

Flea markets would be one of the best sources for knockoffs from what I've seen. Personally would never recommend them though.

Good point....

Regarding the second question of the thread, the vendors had original frags. Is there a source for their operations?

Is this the style bottle you mean?



This one seems very close to the original but not as sharp, which could be due to age. I'm not much of an Eternity for Men fan so it's hard for me to say exactly how close it is.

Got it at as a part of a lot from someone looking to clear out old frags they didn't want so I have no special insight into these.

The link worked fine! Thanks. I spend more than I should on frags, as do we all. If these are as good as the knockoffs I used to buy for $20 I'll be happy.

Unfortunately, I'd guess even the knockoffs have been reformulated badly !

Flea markets are gold mines. You can get authentic stuff their for dirt cheap easily. Some picks i have gotten over the last months include
Gucci guilty / ysl lhomme 20$
1/4 eau savage vintage 1$
Creed silver mountain water 3$
Eau d'orange 8$
1/6 bottle cartier decleration 3$
Penhaligons eau de cologne / blenheim bouquet 10$ each
Armani lui 5$
Hanae mori 10$

Just to name a few, all are 100% authentic as well
