I have been shopping in Beaty base for over 25yrs. I have never had an issue with any of their colognes unlike the chances you take online with other companies. Especially now during lockdown I have total confidence that what ever comes from Beauty Base is the genuine article. I only wish that they would give more than one little sample per box when you buy online. If you want to move more newer stock in this lockdown climate then send at least 1 sample per bottle that is bought. Normally you rarely beat the price that Beauty Base offers. I have previously bought Duty free thinking it was a bargain and it was still cheaper in my local and original Beauty Base !
