Perfect GIT From Beauty Encounter

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
Before pulling the plug on a grey market bottle of GIT I did a bit of research like everybody does. After reading the complaints, worries, and success stories that have been shared here in the past I was more than a little nervous about buying a discount bottle, but decided to purchase one from Beauty Encounter. They had it on sale and I was able to use a $15 off "first time customer" coupon code that really made it a steal. Needless to say, I've been nervously awaiting the package's arrival for the last couple of days.

It showed up in the mail today (only took about 5 days for it to arrive) and I could not be more pleased with this purchase!! I double checked all the "how to tell a fake Creed" posts and websites and it is 100% legit and the box, bottle and inserts were in perfect condition. The bottle had never been sprayed as it took about 5 pumps to prime the spray mechanism, and the juice smells absolutely gorgeous.

There were some complaints in earlier threads about Beauty Encounter going cheaper and shipping in padded envelopes rather than boxes, but mine arrived carefully bubblewrapped in a sturdy cardboard box. This has been one of the best online fragrance transactions I've had in a long time - so, double thumbs up to Beauty Encounter.

I've sprayed Cool Water on one arm and GIT on the other and there is no comparison when smelled side by side. I used to share your opinion until I smelled them next to each other. From a distance they smell similar, but up close and side by side Cool Water smells extremely synthetic while GIT is more natural and green smelling. After smelling them both up close and realizing how good GIT is, I can't even wear Cool Water without cringing and constantly noticing the overly synthetic smell. But to each his own I guess.

Was the lot number filed off of the bottle?
