Bargain Light Selling Fake Creed Aventus Men's Cologne Bronx New York

Bargain Light advertises on their website a 2.5 oz bottle of Creed Aventus men's cologne for the discounted price of $139.00. This top-of-the-line fragrance sells for approximately $425.00 on the Creed website.

Bargain Light's descriptive copy advises that they are selling real and authentic Aventus; however, they are selling a fake, rip-off version.

When I received my order, I was sent a 4.0 oz bottle, instead of a 2.5 oz bottle. This was an immediate clue that something was wrong with this product. The 4.0 oz bottle sells for $455.00 on the Creed official website.

The product packaging resembled an authentic Creed presentation, but the box was a cheap version of Creed's usual high-quality packaging.

THe label on the bottle was poorly attached to the bottle; the seams did not match. 

THe cap on the bottle came off too easily; authentic Creed has a cap which almost clicks in place and has to be pulled off the bottle.

The give-away that this was a fake bottle of Aventus is that the bottle did not have the official Creed batch number imprinted on it. The batch number found on the box is always imprinted on the bottle itself.

The fragrance was similar to authentic Aventus, but not the real thing. This was immediately obvious to me. And, the fragrance was short-lived. Authentic Aventus lasts for hours.

There were other discrepancies, but these are the main ones.

I advised the Better Business Bureau, and discovered that Bargain Light has an "F" rating.

I contacted Bargain Light that I was not satisfied with their bottle of fake Aventus, and that I would like to be fully refunded. The only reply I received was an email advising how to send the item back to them.

I should have known better than to think that this top-niche men's cologne could be purchased for $139.00 plus tax. 

I have since purchased a bottle of 4.0 oz direct from the Creed Boutique, and it is apparent to me that the bottle sold by Bargain Light is an absolute fake.

Caveat Emptor --- Buyer Beware.
