Is this Byredo fake or real?

[liebe_anne]

I bought Byredo Bal D’Afrique on an FB group and not in retail stores and I was comparing it to my Mojave Ghost that I got in Saks Fifth and the details on the bottom of the bottle looks different. It has ‘W1F OLN LONDON’ written there that isn’t on the Mojave Ghost bottle. Also, I noticed that the white label on the bottle isn’t exactly the same size as the one in Mojave Ghost. Regarding the batch code though, it checked out when I typed it on checkfresh.

Any insights if the bottle I got is fake or maybe some bottles have these details?

Thank you so much!

Looks pretty good to me. Usually, the envelope slot is pretty terrible on the fakes. Byredo is one of the most bootlegged perfume companies though. As for the "W1F OLN LONDON", that can be an addition for the UK market – I doubt any bootlegger would add stuff that isn't on the retail bottle. I wouldn't worry if the sprayer, cap and glass quality are the same on both.

Here are some quick snapshots from my Bal d'Afrique:

My 50ml bottle of Bal d'Afrique has that too and I got it directly from the Byredo website! Does the fragrance smell right? If your batch code is fine then I honestly don't think you have anything to worry about, just enjoy your fragrance.

Looks fine to me also.
