It smells like the original that I purchased at Macy's. I love this fragrance.

I sincerely believe it is a knock off as I used Norell for yrs. the Norell I received had very little scent which was gone in a nano second. About 5 yrs ago I bought the real thing from Vermont catalogue and while talking with the person at Vermont, she told me this was the last of Norell as it had been discontinued and no longer available. I was amazed when I saw it on Amazon and promptly ordered it, only to be disappointed. I would not recommend you purchase it. Hope this helps. S Woody

Not sure why. Every seller has their price but I've bought from the seller fragrancenet before and it was authentic. Not a knock off.

Yes. I have been wearing this perfume for about a year now. I use to purchase it at the large retail chain and paid double the price for it. Great price, the real product, great size as well.

Yes, I did. I purchased mine from 298 BEAUTY SUPPLY. It's the real stuff too! I hear a lot of people complaining they get knock-offs.

Real! Mine arrived today. It's the real deal. I'm enjoying the dry-down right now. I read the comment about purchasing the fragrance that is "sold by and ships from Amazon" and made sure to do that.

Yes it is authentic, I went to ultra to check if mine was the real deal and it was. If you go to fragrancenet.com You will find better prices. Fragrancenet sells also products in amazon but they have free shipping depending on how much you spend with them.

I'm on my third bottle. The first came from London and the other two from Amazon as they had the best price. It is the exact product, packaging and perfume. Enjoy! It's my favorite spring/summer scent. I wear Balenciaga in the winter and I've also ordered my replacement bottles from Amazon.

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.

With all my respect to the other people that answer is authentic, is not. I being using this fragrance since 1983. Even the bottle they send me is not authentic. Maybe you purchase from another vendor but the one I received is not authentic. It smell ok but not like the real one and it does not last long like the original.

I bought this last year and I am extremely happy with it . It is %100 original and the aroma stays for a long time. I always get a compliment when I wear it. I recommend this perfume %100. Good luck

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.

100 percent real, just make sure you are purchasing the perfume that says" sold by and ships from Amazon"

Well Sandra, I think it is original (I didn't know about a new version) because it smells the same to me. Wish they hadn't changed the bottle design though.

The perfume has been discontinued and its very hard to find! any perfume once its discontinued and is still in demand the price goes up!with this particular perfume it was one of the best by Bvlgari and woman love it you will see it will be more expensive in the future the more scarce it becomes. so as i tell all my customers it is expensive now but it will be more expensive in the future. i hope this helps.

One more thing...I wouldn't buy this on Amazon. The one I bought from Amazon was an obvious fake and they don't accept returns for fragrances. I did eventually get my money back, but it wasn't worrh the hassle. But as I stated in my previous answer, even the real one only lasts a short time and isn't worth the money.
