First off, you see all these eBay listings – “Unbranded Givenchy Fragrances” for men, for women, *even without a brand* Givenchy. Like, what even *is* that? Is it, like, some kinda knock-off situation? Or maybe it’s just, like, the packaging got damaged or something? I dunno. It’s giving me seriously mixed signals.
Then, you get into this whole ethical thing. I saw an article asking, “Should You Boycott Givenchy?” which is a whole other can of worms. I mean, Givenchy *is* a luxury brand, and sometimes those brands…well, let’s just say their practices aren’t always, like, the *best* for the planet or the workers. So, buying unbranded stuff, maybe it’s a way to, like, stick it to the man? Or is it just supporting the knock-off industry, which is probably *worse*? See? Mixed signals *everywhere*.
And then there’s this other listing about a reworked Givenchy parfums bag, “chains and carabiners manually added (both unbranded) made in China exclusively for Givenchy make up/perfume collection V I p gift.” So, somebody took a legit Givenchy gift bag and added, like, totally random stuff to it? Why? Is this, like, some kinda avant-garde art piece? Or is it just someone trying to make a quick buck on Etsy? I honestly have no frickin’ clue.
Honestly, the whole thing kinda smells (pun intended!) a little suspicious. If it’s unbranded, are you *really* getting Givenchy quality? Or are you getting something that smells vaguely similar but fades after, like, five minutes? I’m leaning towards the latter.
