Thank you for all info.<br />For vintage on ebay: my personal way to find out if there is at least a good intention to sell the real stuff is to check the other items the person sells. If I found items like old lady clothes, ceramic and pottery, old shoes etc then I would go for it.

As an international shopper my favorite sites are either the ones in the EU or American sites which offer reasonable shipping. I like very much FragranceX.com as they do free international shipping and the products are great. In Europe, I looooove Cheapsmells.co.uk as prices are excellent and they offer fast and inexpensive shipping. <Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-47748184191333853182010-10-28T14:59:54.795+01:002010-10-28T14:59:54.795+01:00I haven't had any problems with Parfum1, they ...I haven't had any problems with Parfum1, they are lovely over the phone, too...
