… I received a new sealed 100 mL bottle in all the proper Xerjoff packaging, however the batch code on the sticker on the bottle of the bottle was cut out with surgical precision. The bottom of the cellophane packaging also appeared to be opened and resealed using some type of glue. I’m sure this is how the batch code was removed. I Also received a different bottle with the interlocking Cs in the centre and not the current one with the face/head logo. (Purchased during Boxing Day 2019 sale.)
I’ve seen photos of this version of the bottle before from Beverly Hills Perfumery and I believe that it’s authentic. I contacted Xerjoff and they weren’t very helpful regarding authenticity and pretended to know nothing about their own products.
I don’t know who’s responsible but there’s definitely some shenanigans going on with this bottle that I received.
