I usually buy from amazon because it is reputable and offers free shipping on most items. I just bought this item and it is the real thing. Now I warn you though, you better know ahead of time if you like the fragrance because there are no returns allowed due to it being a flammable substance.

The one I purchased was real. I cannot state this for the next bottle and the next, also being I am not the seller. But I Trust Amazon.....And the one I purchased was real. Look at the photo before you purchase this item, if you wore Obsession in the past, the old Obsession had a carmel colored non see-through cap. Some sellers are still selling that bottle....be careful. The NEW Obsession had a cap makeover. Now its See-through brown. So I bought it according to what the picture portrayed.....Whew....nough said....Hope It Helped.......Goodluck.

Obsession has been my signature scent for more than 35 years, and I've emptied between 60 and 70 bottles of this perfume during that time. I'm certain that the bottle I bought through Amazon is authentic Obsession. The fragrance is exactly the same and it lasts as long when I'm wearing it as ever in the past. I could not be fooled by a fake.

If you have been buying this product like I have, for years then you know the bottle, the color and mostimportantly the fragrance you will know without a doubt this is the real thing. Also buy from a reputable dealer and I personally prefer the perfume for last-ability. Maybe I have been lucky but so far never a problem and Amazon has the very best prices.

Most original packaging does have a serial number or a distributor code on the box. You can also tell by the way it sprays out. If it sprays like a body spray, too much and too fast it is fake. If it feels cold on the skin more so than usual, it is fake.

This is a fake! My mother has been buying this at Macy's and other department stores for years. I purchased this one for her, and she says definitely it is not the real thing. It's not worth the postage and trouble sending it back since it was so cheap.

I bought this item in June for full price. So I would assume it's the real thing. Almost seems to good to be true..

There are plenty of videos on YouTube to distinguish, which are fake. It's pretty easy...different box, different cord, different images and sound quality of course. I don't think amazon would like to sell counterfeit products so if it does by some odd chance turn out to be fake, send it back immediately and inform amazon, also take pictures of the box and the product and send it to beats informing them what had happened

I'm sure if Amazon is marketing and fulfilling the order then there is nothing to worry about. I have heard many stories of fake models out there but I would highly doubt Amazon would be selling fakes. I purchased mine from Amazon so perhaps it was from the same company and it still works like a dream many years later.

I contacted Amazon in regards to this. Did not want to spend over $100 and get something fake I cannot even return. Make sure the seller you purchase through IS amazon, not a third party. They will guarantee satisfaction :)

I ordered "Shipped and sold by Amazon" and mine is 100% authentic. Be aware of the actual seller and use due diligence.

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.

It's supposed to be genuine. I'd order from amazon directly to avoid getting scammed.

It's real. This is the time will take Amazon to ship it but we have it in stock so you can purchase from us or from other sellers that will ship it faster.

I only order and if the order is fulfilled by Amazon. It's the real thing, I'm not sure about third party websites

Yes! I paid $10 more to buy this from amazon as the seller knowing that if something happened or it was a fake they would return it. I registered mine online and confirmed it was the real deal... Some reviewers had received fakes from other venders and could not register it because the product number didn't exisit

It is good to be skeptical about this. I purchased one that was labeled Canon but was really a fake through a third-party retailer on Amazon. Fortunately, Amazon took it back. I'd like to think Amazon is only selling genuine merchandise but I cannot tell you about this particular one. Fortunately you can return it if you have any concerns. When you get it, take a good look at the front and back of the battery and it should be obvious if it is a fake but they are getting better. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Hi. I've read that there are fakes around on ebay for sure. I can't vouch but the box here and the warranty card, manual, cloth, case - all look pretty authentic to me. The logo cut too looks pretty authentic. If you want to compare to a fake google for sample images. You pretty much can tell straightaway. The box (for fake) is a little like this but seem oversized, the logo cut is clumsy (unless "they" refined it) and the flute do not come with the above warranty cards owner's manual etc. My case is moulded plastic which has maroon velvet, my friend's son's has a case like this one.

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.
