Is this fake - why are so many reviewers saying this is fake and watered down?

Hi Rahul,as a seller in Amazon and I have been in the industry of selling colognes and perfumes for 15 years You can be your own judge.This is my suggestion,spray a cologne on your skin and let it settle for about a minute and smell it.That will give you the first impression.Then, let it settle longer and smell it or let other people smell it on you.Continue smelling it until it fades out.If the scent lasts four to eight hours or more Then you will make your decision.If it does not last long enough the way you want it you drop it.As for Azzaro Chrome,I have been selling it to three of my regular customers for almost ten years.They buy it every three months and I never heard any complaint about this item.The performance of each cologne is different on every one body chemistry. I hope this helps.

Well, when I bought it was good and smelling good, in fact, I had very good opinion about the fragrance by several girls.

I guess it will be more difficult to find a fake than real ones,plus, no one would risk the ability to sell for a lousy lotion....smell is really strong, I know because I purchased one myself ..... its strong and last long smells greatthank you Joe Linen Products

You are right. The reviews here are very misleading. It sounds like paid advertisement to me. The one place I know that give honest reviews is overstock. You can tell these are real customers, reporting from real experiences.

I think you should go by the most current review. I bought one and it's real. Came in a Shu Uemura box with an extra refill. I wish Amazon would allow reviewers to post pictures of the actual product received. It would be most helpful to people's inquiries.

I would agree - most of the reviews look fake. Even really good products get one or two bad reviews. I really wish Amazon had a way or reporting abuse for that type of thing. (This not the only product I've seen this happen with).

I think it is...I don't thin it is a "knock off" if that is what you mean. Hope that helps....

It's fake, take note, the bottle is listed as aqua di gio Not Giona very deceiving. I paid 60 bucks for it and it smells like stink bait! I have the real thing and bought this for a friend, how embarrassing when she wore it and smelled awful, I never oped the box which looked just like my original when I gave it to her, I asked her to bring me her bottle it did not even look like my bottle! I don't know who gives it 5 stars but their delusional.

Depending on who you buy from, mine wasn't real. I got it from the most popular third party perfume seller, so beware of buying from them.

It's not fake. I bought this one for my husband a few months ago and it's great. Plus, it's being sold by amazon, not some unknown person. You can always return if you're not happy.

This oil is FAKE!!! It is NOT pure 100% essential oil. One of the characteristics of a pure essential oil is that you put a couple of drops of the essential oil on white paper and let it evaporate. There should be NO mark left after the oil has evaporated. This oil leaves an ugly mark. I bought two bottles of this essential oil and I learned after a few months on how to check the purity. Once I found out this oil is not pure, I threw it in the garbage. If you don't know what is in the oil, you are risking your health. There are a lot of vendors on Amazon.com selling fake products.

I purchased it and it was the real stuff, it was not watered down. The consistency of this gel is different than normal gel with "fillers" and silicones...but that is why it works so well for my hair styling method. I follow the curly-girl method -- if that helps at all.

As far as I know it is genuine. Like the other respondent, only problem I had was with the pump, but I've had that issue before with this product. That problem in and of itself makes me pretty sure it's authentic. I love the product. Interested as well in the organic product...

Yes it is real. But I must tell you, Nautica was made as a knock off fragrance in the first place. You get what you pay for. It is for a younger crowd now and fades easy as most cheaper fragrances do. Bulgari Aqua is the way to go or Perry Ellis 360.

I am convinced this is a knock-off because this not only doesn't smell anything like it used to, it has absolutely no staying power. Within an hour or less I have forgotten I put it on. As good of a deal as this appears to be, it is no deal at all and I feel I threw my money down the toilet because I don't have what I wanted. I have been wearing Shalimar for 35+ years and there is no chance this is the real thing. If it is the real thing, they've blown it. I would strongly recommend not buying this. Go to Nordstrom, Macy's or another reputable brick and mortar store to ensure you are getting the real thing. If it costs more, it will be worth it.

it is the real thing, i compared it with the one at my tanning salon and it was the same exact things. usually the ones that are fake will be an obviously unreal price like 10, 15$

I hope you are kidding! This is a joke product! It use to be a hoax (back in the 30s) today it is just a joke. You get as much water as you add to it - get it?
