I do not know what some people do. The product is the same quality as you would expect from the manufacturer. It smells absolutely awesome .... Just my scent. The scent also fades not fast. The "carrier" is used up to the fragrance. Other smell it far the next day. I even smell the fragrance even after a shower on the skin. A top quality product. I did not leave by the many negative reviews deter and am thrilled. So do not be put off, who already find good Boss Bottled, like this scent even more so. BOSS ..... Keep it up !!
