How to distinguish fake cologne from real?

By looking at the bottle, is there a way to tell what's fake and what's not?

I don't have a good sense of smell so that's not an option.

Did not know there was such a thing as fake cologne. Do they pee in a bottle or something?

When it comes down to it, if it smells the same, does it really matter? Unless you have an economic stake in the brandname, that is..

There different, but sometimes its hard to tell. Just watch out for where you buy cologne. Will whoever lets you buy it from let you test it out or smell it? Where are you buying it at?

I was just wondering if there are fakes which DON'T mention that they are 'equivalent to' or any other wording similiar to that on the package. You always see imitation stuff but it always says on the box and they never use the same name but a similar one.

I was just curious if maybe in China or elsewhere they had fakes of cologne's like they have fakes of everything else kinda like fake NIKE shirts.

The "guy on the street corner" didn't have any Romance. It's 'back ordered'. He might 'get some' soon. At $10 a bottle for the real thing, I don't mind a few days wait.
