Is this the "real deal" or a knockoff? Last week when I asked for it, a saleslady laughed at me and said it hasn't been made for 10-15 years.

It's very real. I have been buying this for my wife for over 25 years. I recommend this company and will buy from them again.

It is the real deal. My daughter in law has been wearing this forever and was glad to have found it.

It's the real thing !!Usually they are unused Testers , may not come with a lid. But good enough for me cause I love my purchases!!

"Babe" has not been made Ombre' Rose is still on the market. I gave my wife a 3.4 oz. for Christmas.

I am convinced this is a knock-off because this not only doesn't smell anything like it used to, it has absolutely no staying power. Within an hour or less I have forgotten I put it on. As good of a deal as this appears to be, it is no deal at all and I feel I threw my money down the toilet because I don't have what I wanted. I have been wearing Shalimar for 35+ years and there is no chance this is the real thing. If it is the real thing, they've blown it. I would strongly recommend not buying this. Go to Nordstrom, Macy's or another reputable brick and mortar store to ensure you are getting the real thing. If it costs more, it will be worth it.

I'm not en expert but the one I purchased appeared to be genuine. Having said that, it did come from China and could be a very well done knock off.

If it doesn't have a pump it might just be the old packaging. Mine is real. There are pictures you can see online comparing fake ones, it's mostly the font on the labels that give it away.

Well I think the product is not real in despite the hair look like other Irons. I was comparing this Iron with the real Babyliss and it has not many parts as real babyliss. Sorry it is my opinion. Is a good copy but your hair never look as well as when you use a original babyliss.

I also would like to know if imitations of this model are being sold by merchants through Amazon, as i have bought this in June 2007 for $49 plus from here at Amazon!!

To be honest I can't tell. Looked all over it, not a wod scribbled that I could see. Probably is a knock off. But... I bought one for my wife for work, she loves it and two other girls liked it so much and wanted one too. So three girls are happy with it, knock off or not. At $10 or $11 bucks if say it's worth it.

it's real!! I did a lot of research about how to tell real from fake. I got mine about 5 months ago and it's still holding up great. it's the real deal.

I think it's a cheap piece if junk. So I think what you've found is normal for the product. It's a knock-off.

Mines was real, the only problem is that it's freaking heavy and bulky!!! And it works perfectly fine. My husband just didn't like it cause it was extremely heavy and huge! Felt like a brick!

I believe it's real, I didn't know knockoffs existed for this product. The only downfall is the water reservoir, if you use a lot of steam you need to refill more often

It is real. I've bought the product in stores and online, and they are the same!

I am suspicious that this may be a knockoff... The silicone has slightly "unfinished" edges around port flaps etc. I am also thinking that at less than 1/2 the price I've seen elsewhere it may be an issue of "you get what you pay for". I am pleased with it, for the price. It is for a 12 year old girl so maybe if it was for a steel mill worker or a carpenter it's shortcomings would be more important.

These are Drop Shipped as are most of our products, direct from the Distributor. I was waiting for some answers from them on other issues today but they never did get back to me. So did it come in just a plain corrugated box or in some other manufacturers packaging? I can't imagine, as large and respected as this distributor is that they would ship anything but the genuine article. Maybe it had something to do with the shipping container and the fit. If you just received it and think that it is not genuine or you may want it replaced, do not use it for now if you have any reason to think it might be returned. I won't be able to reach them now until Monday and if need be I can have them call you to explain. I really don't think there are any knock offs or other brands of that product but we can ask them. Are there any other product numbers, embossed markings that may indicate the brand? There is an SKU for it but I don't know if it is embedded in the material or not. Let me know if you want me to continue to verify this and I will get with them and then back to you or have them contact you. Thanks, Bob Sex-Trix

I just received a knockoff that was sold by East River Inc and fulfilled by Amazon. I will be contacting Amazon for a proper replacement, and I have to say I am very disappointed with Amazon. Clearly I am not the first person to receive a knockoff, but I trusted I would receive a real one since I knew it was fullfilled by Amazon. When an item is fulfilled by Amazon, that means they are holding it in their warehouse and have the opportunity to inspect it, so it is inexcusable for them to be selling a counterfeit item.
