Do not confuse resemblance with claimed identity
A comparison of smells is insufficient to classify a product. Examine the name under which it is sold, the brand displayed and what the seller actually claims. Dupe wording in a video establishes neither legality nor illegality by itself, and it does not prove that two fragrance formulas are identical.
Check the facts before making an accusation
If a bottle is presented as belonging to a house while its origin seems doubtful, gather its reference, invoice and seller details. INPI resources and brand guidance help direct checks. A legal assessment depends on the facts and rights involved rather than a simple impression that one scent resembles another.
