This is my all time favorite fragrance, however unfortunately Marc Jacobs Dot is discontinued and hard to come by. I was very apprehensive purchasing a bottle of this favorites online because I know that the manufacturers no longer make this sent. I was afraid I was spending top dollar on a knock off or imitation bottle. However upon receiving my perfume the box the packaging was authentic the scent was authentic. I received the real Marc Jacobs Dot. and I am very satisfied with my purchase. I will purchase another bottle soon because I don’t know how long supplies will last. Like I said this fragrance is rare and discontinued and hard to come by.
