So Macy’s had a sale so I went to go pickup the new Valentino purple melancholia. They didn’t have 100ml so I told them to ship it when it came the wrapper was a little taped didn’t mind but then I opened the bottle and the cap was hard to take off the bottom of the Valentino went up when I’ve only seen the Valentino bottom flat. The batch code was an error on check fresh and scent wise I already sprayed something on skin so couldn’t tell if it was good juice. I ended up returning that to Macy’s so fast which thankfully Macy’s accepted right away even tho it was opened after I explained the issue. What you guys say is it authentic or fake? I didn’t get any pictures because it happened so fast I barely had it in my hands.

As a couple of you may know, I'm in the process of moving from one house to another - from the Chicago area to SoCal full-time. The Chicago house is in the process of closing and things are getting a little sticky with the buyer's lawyer, etc etc. Luckily for me, the buyer has absolutely ZERO leverage on me given my situation (and their lawyer will discover that soon enough...) Nevertheless, I'm stressed because I am taking a hard line and sticking to my guns, but I want to be 100% sure that I handle this situation correctly. After getting all my ducks in arow to the best of my ability, the question is; What do I do to ease my stress? The answer? Amouage. Specifically Reflection Man. This stuff brings down my angst, agression, anxiety and general malaise to a much more managable level. It's actually acting like a psychologist (psychiatrist?) in bottle. Now I can at least get through the rest of the day without going postal (my apologies to all you postal employees. 😘) BoS, this stuff is WELL worth the price.
