How do I know that the "Joy" sold on Amazon is real? There are many parfum copies/fakes available.

You don't know. I was very dissatisfied with the bottle I ordered. The scent, so particular to Joy, was not there. I will not buy on line again.

It looks genuine and comes with ELKAY guarantee. Of course Amazon can sell counterfeit products and the guarantees can be faked but I think this is not too likely.

If you buy it direct from Amazon, you can rest assured it's an original and they'll stand by the product. If you buy from some fly-by-night storefront, you'll probably get a fake.

There are some that are not real, but some that are. It just depends on who the seller is. When I purchased mine from amazon, the seller was a hair salon so it was authentic. I would stay away from private sellers or sellers you don't know.

I have used Moroccan products for years so I know right away by the scent if it is the true product. I have never received a fake Moroccan product from Amazon. Com Best of luck to you.

If this is the same one I bought (which I believe it is, because Amazon asked me to answer your question) than it's real. And it's awesome.

It should be the real thing because Amazon became an authorized seller this year, but that happened so recently I would check the product to make sure before using it.

There is a chance they could be fake, and amazon wasn't informed, but most likely they aren't fake because amazon wouldn't want to have a bad reputation. :)

I usually buy from amazon because it is reputable and offers free shipping on most items. I just bought this item and it is the real thing. Now I warn you though, you better know ahead of time if you like the fragrance because there are no returns allowed due to it being a flammable substance.

I don't think its the real thing either. To me When I order perfume from Fragrance .com or Perfume .com it not real. Its not the same as the department stores.

The one I received seems to be the real deal. I ordered it directly from Amazon rather than one of Amazon's third-party sellers, however.

To the best of my knowledge it was real. Just smell the fragrance and you will be assured!! Or go and price it out at Macy's. You will come running back to Amazon to make your purchase

I just bought one and it was 100% authentic. I would just make sure that the seller is Amazon and not some other company.

I have ordered Sublime eau de parfum twice on-line and in both cases it was authentic.

That's a valid question, but I don't know how you can be sure its authentic. Except, I've never had Amazon ship me anything but the authentic item. I bought this and it certainly seems to be real.

I fully understand your concern that this item could very well be a KNOCK-OFF due to it's low price, I was thinking the same thing when I bought it for my wife. But I have to admit I believe it is genuine. The packaging is correct and the fragrance is amazing. I'm retired Navy and I used to get Joy, Shalimar, Chloe, Chanel #5 and Opium for my sisters when I was on Mediteranian cruises so I know what the real fragrances are. It's real but I don't know why it's so cheap. It's even the full strength PERFUME versus the eau de toilette or cologne. I'm very happy with it, at least my wife is.

Its real. But be careful the bootlegs can be hard to tell the difference. The only sure way is to look at the box and check for the approval stamps
