Dear Folks,

Well, I Strongly suggest anyone not to deal with these PerfumeEmporium.com crooks, they will give you cheap price too good to be true for an original item which is in fact totally faked imitation.
(What they write in here is a pack of lies! http://www.perfumeemporium.com/guarantee.cfm)
Recently I have purchased a 30 oz bottle perfume from the PerfumeEmporium.com but I have received a fragrance that smells as a noname $3 imitation because I have already known the original and also the bottle & label & box donot look original either! Furthermore, I have not received any invoice/bill since it has been sent as a gift but not as a commercial item to avoid taxation and related follow up in case of a complaint!

Don't waste your money to buy items from them simply because their physical contact information as stated on their website is given below but there is no such company settled over there because my location falls luckily within close viccinity to their address and personally I have visited the spot mentioned! Beware this scammer!
PerfumeEmporium.com
3440 West Warner Ave., Suite C & D
Santa Ana, CA ******* United States
Customer Service - *******580

Moreover, they write on that they operate a large warehouse where they stock over 30,000 products http://www.perfumeemporium.com/about.cfm; However, it is really odd they send the goods from Nukalofa-TONGA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nukualofa) from where my order has been posted (see the picture of the box cover I attached).
It seems that they have found a perfect location for fraudulent activities and they operate their underground business from there; click the following to see Tonga:

Note that the Sender (see the picture of the box cover attached) shows a company namely Candle Bay Inc! So having googled it I have reached the conclusion that these scammers are linked to another corrupt activity with exactly the same address but their tel no is different; Telephone: *******434
Click here: http://www.candlebay.com/customerservice.cfm

Lastly, I have tried to call both numbers given but no avail!. Having checked each of their tel no via reverse phone check:
http://www.reversephonecheck.com/results.php?phone=*******434
-We are sorry but we could not find information on *******434...
http://www.reversephonecheck.com/results.php?phone=*******580
-We are sorry but we could not find information on *******580...
So, these numbers as a result look to be INVALID!

And each of their website's 'About Us' section covers the same story and it begins like these;
http://www.candlebay.com/customerservice.cfm#Q2
Candle Bay was started in June 2002 by two brothers who wanted to bring...
http://www.perfumeemporium.com/about.cfm
Perfume Emporium was started in 1999 by two brothers who wanted to bring...

So, who are these two brothers? Virtual scammer brothers with no name & no origin! Needless to mention again that you have to be staying away from these rotten bastards!

Later on I have reviewed some of the customer complaint sites about the PerfumeEmporium scammer and learnt that many people have suffered similarly!
Read the reviews clicking below links;

Like everyone I time to time buy goods from the internet. This was my worst experience of all unfortunately. I wish I had done a solid search before buying from these shady con artists! They are all fraud and cheating!

Beware and take enough care!

All the best,
