Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche EDT Real or Fake?

[without_j]

Can somebody tell if this one is real? It's used I didn't buy it yet. The only thing I see that makes me suspect it's fake is that bar code is on the back and not on the bottom, could this be on real one? I have allure homme sport eau extreme 50ml from 2023 where bar code is on the bottom.
Batch code is 7001, so it should be bottle from November 2021.

i don't know much about this particular flanker but wasn't the Eau de Toilette Concentree version made between 2008 and 2014 when it was replaced by the Eau de Parfum version? If so, then the Chanel batch code 7001 would be October 2013 which is consistent with those dates.

Everything else looks right to me.

I didn't know it had been discontinued, how can I check that info. It's hard for me to believe that somebody could save it that well for 10 years. If that's the case I guess it's better not to buy it?

Read this review by @Varanis Ridari. It should tell you all you need to know about the different versions. Some seem to prefer the Eau de Toilette, some the Eau de Parfum.

You should also probably wait for comments by other Basenoters as they will probably know more about this than I do.

Fragrances can keep for a lifetime if not exposed to oxygen, a ton of heat, or UV light. Don't believe the sales jargon that you have to toss it out in 5 years if not used. I have vintages literally bottled in the 1940's that smell good.

I like both but honestly get what's out there. Makes no sense to pay a premium other than what Chanel already charges.

It's cheap for Chanel around 45usd, that's why I considered it (used bottle but almost full).

So you think it's real?

I compared the photos with my EDP box/bottle (ordered directly from Chanel) and it looks virtually the same, although there's no barcode on the back, which is instead on the bottom of my box. Bottom of the bottle looks identical aside from the EDT vs EDP text. Looks legit to me, although I'm no pro at identifying fakes at all.

Not really a pro at identifying Chanel fakes, and Chanel is heavily faked like Tom Ford or Malle, so I wouldn't know.

It looks fine to me

That would be correct. EDT Concentree was eventually replaced by the EDP.

It could be old stock

Did you find this at a garage sale/estate sale? (the pics)
