It is an authentic bottle of perfume goodness, i checked the batch code and all. Price was ok and shipping took its time but got here safely because of very good packaging. I get tons of compliments when I wear this. It's a all year rounder for me and i get 6 hours on skin and a day and more on clothing. It is great for mixing with other fragrances to give them a sweet vanilla caramel kick. Would recommend to a friend.
