This is a scam company. The bottle is defective, looks used, it won't spray. I've read comments in other complaints to this company and whomever is responding can't even spell or speak English correctly.Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:Regarding ID # ******** for ******* *******, item purchased 9/27/24 with Alco Fashion, order #*********
I was the one that ******* (my boyfriend) purchased the product for—a bottle of perfume which would have normally retailed for over $250—for $34. This was supposed to be a birthday gift for me.
The bottle’s seal had been removed and replaced with a cheap, aluminum foil type of material and appeared, felt and smelt like it had been refilled with water with little to ZERO actual perfume. After a few attempts I was able to reach a customer service representative who told me that “its highly possible” that it could have been a fake bottle of perfume and that we didn’t need to return it, that he would refund the account for the $34 that was charged to *******’s card. Still, ******* has yet to receive the refund.
After this experience and the plethora of complaints and even YouTube videos available on this company, the company seems to be a scam. What’s worse is the fact that a few days after ******* purchased this product with Alco Fashion, his card was fraudulently used for over $500.
I believe a full investigation is warranted. And still, ******* is waiting on his refund.
My best,
Sincerely,
******* *******
