Imposter Perfumes part 2

Has anyone ever tried buying perfumes from greenhills or discount type stores in malls? I think one of the popular ones is called Criselda's.  I may have to edit this later if I am wrong about the store's name. I really wonder if they are real or not. Of course, the salesperson always says its original but at 1,000-2,000 compared to the average bottle at 5,000 it seems to good to be true. I have a friend who is a local celebrity and she swears by this store in shoppesville that she claims sells the real thing. She (my friend) started to wear Lanvin Eclat which is one of my signature scents and I'm annoyed at the part that she smells the same except I spent 5,000 on my bottle of Lanvin.  

What makes me want to dig deeper into this issue is that there is a big possibility that these perfumes are coming from legitimate sources. Maybe these places get it from the same supplier as Rustan's or other big department stores without the big price tag. I have always bought all my perfumes from Rustan's and if these perfumes are real I am not the type to pass on a good deal. So boys and girls, I am going to do a little experiment. I just recently bought Ferragamo perfumes: Incanto Dream, Incanto Shine, and F for Fascinating. The Incanto bottles are harder to copy in my opinion so I think I'll use that as a basis. To make it more specific I will focus on Incanto Shine in particular. I will try to compare the two, meaning the one from Rustans and the one from the discount store to see if there is a difference. I will post an update as soon as I get home from the mall.
