Versace Bright Crystal - original vs fake

One of my favorite fragrances by Versace, Bright Crystal, is now available in the fake, supposedly, "Singapore Originals"...again everyone, there is no such item!  A real multinational company has no shame in printing where there items are made from.  In the so-called "Singapore Originals"  the Versace Bright Crystal says in the bottom of the box, "Made in Italy"....If this was truly made in Singapore, why doesn't it say Singapore???  Versace would have nothing to hide.  It just doesn't make any sense.  These are fakes or "class A" products made in China, nothing more, nothing less.  Here are tips on how to spot a fake Versace Bright Crystal:

1. The face:  They look the same at first glance, but the original on the left side of the photo, the font of VERSACE is not written as thickly as that of the fake.



2. The top of the box: This is quite obvious, in the original, the ridges that make up the design, it is punched down, making craters, while in the fake, the ridges are elevated.


3. The back of the box:  sad to say, but from the back of the box, I don't see any difference, just a few differences sa font.


4. The tube in the bottle:  Notice in the original, the length of the tube is in exact length from top to bottom, and its thin and very fine, almost invisible.  In the fake, the tube is too long, and big, very visible.



5. The color of the perfume:  the original is lighter in pink tone than the fake



6. The sticker at the bottom of the bottle:  difference is in the font style and quality of the sticker, I was surprised that the fake also has a code stamped.


7. The cap: not much of a difference, I felt that the original cap has sharper edges and the fake has rounder edges.  They look nearly the same as well.
