Warning: Refilled and repackaged! NOT the real deal!
I love the scent of Thierry Mugler's Alien. I had a sample spray from the perfume counter, and fell in love with the scent. Unfortunately, what I purchased in good faith as new, is an original bottle that has been tampered with and refilled, then reinserted into original packaging that has also been tampered with. And the stuff has a horrible scent. True, you can smell something of what it is meant to be, but it is definitely not Thierry Mugler's scent!!! I sprayed one spray to try it out last night, and the room where I sprayed it still stinks of bad perfume. What's worse is that you cannot return this stuff. I just tried and because it is a flammable liquid, you cannot return it to Amazon. This is not only a product problem, it is illegal to market counterfeit items. Someone at Amazon needs to take this seriously. The number on the box that is supposed to authenticate the perfume has been covered with thin strips glued to the box. The bottle also has an area deliberately scratched out. I love Amazon, but I will definitely be careful about buying these kinds of items from them in the future. Not only am I very disappointed, but I have clearly bought criminal goods against my knowledge. Don't buy this product...head to your local department store, and get the real deal. Caveat emptor!!!
