Not sealed unsure if it was used or not. Unsure if it was tampered with. Smudge on label on bottle. Checked to see if it was real and seems real. I love the scent si I'm keeping it because it's cheaper than all the other places. Smells similar to Cream Velvet and all the other dupes I have. But definitely keeping as a decoration and using for special occasions. If you have Cream Velvet, you dont need this. Would love ranked if higher if I was comfortable that it was really a brand new product as it was advertised. Because I do love the scent. Cream Velvet is my signature scent and wanted the original.
