13 year old batches.

Legitimate products at prices too good to be true, because it is too good to be true. I ordered Issey Miyake (delivered within 5 working days) at R390, and when it arrived, I checked the batch code on www.checkfresh.com. Turns out the batch is 13 years old! And while the fragrance is still usable, it's definitely lost it's top notes, like probably 8 years ago. And due to their return policy, I'm not able to return the product as I've already opened it. The sad thing is, you can't truly check the batch number until you've opened it. There are 2 batch codes (not sure if that's suspicious), one embossed on the bottom of the box, and near impossible to read without taking of the cellophane wrapper. The other is at the bottom of the bottle. Both checked out at the same date. Fragrances are passed useful date after 5 years or so, depending on how they're stored. A friend recommended the site to me. She's a Tommy fan and hasn't had the same issue as I have. Good luck!
