This is what indicates the fragrance concentration in the bottle. Generally, the higher concentration = the longer it lasts on you.
Eau Fraiche = ~1-2%
Cologne = 2-5%
Eau de Toilette = 5-15%
Eau de Parfum = 15-20%
Parfum = 20%+
It's always a good choice to look at the different options.. some will actually change the scent between EDT and EDP concentration (look at the notes on Sauvage, which changes notes for EDT, EDP, Parfum and Elixir), and in some cases the Parfums will LAST longer on you but you won't project as heavily (Sauvage Parfum, for example, seems very "quiet" compared to the EDT/EDP)
If I want something that will last, I generally try to get EDP, Parfum or Extrait/Elixir whenever it's an option.
No reason for you to act like an immature twat by calling me a shill.
Just trying to help the community, unlike you and your pithy infantile commentary.

I'll stick with Macy's and know what I get..
Tons of fakes on eBay. But not this site... people don't always understand that frags can smell very different from one person to another due to each person's respective body chemistry.

Most of these fragrance discounters look extremely sketchy by their website (or storefront). If you look at reviews on Macys, Nordstrom, Sephora, etc.. you'll also get the "I got a fake!!" comment, so I wouldn't rely entirely on those comments. I've never used that Lux site though, so I can't say anything specific regarding them.
But a couple other things to note - the scent can/will vary between batches.. Many fragrances get reformulated or change from batch-to-batch (even stuff like Creed), particularly if they use natural oils which can vary quite a bit from batch to batch. You also run into the chance of possibly having tested the EDT and are now buying the EDP (which may have a different scent breakdown), or you've smelled the "opening" of a fragrance on paper but are now experiencing the drydown (on skin) which can make a difference.
One last thing recommendation for anyone who feels a fragrance feels "different" or "off", is to spray it a few times and then let it sit for a couple weeks before making your final thoughts. Many of these fragrances will change once they've gotten some air into the bottle and had a chance to settle.

IMO the best available frag out of those listed here is Armani Code Absolu 3.7oz. It's a gorgeous fall fragrance. The price here atm... you'll be hard pressed to find better. As far as the other frags in this deal, I would say there are better options out there. But that's just me.
Having said that, Silver Mountain Water by Creed, when I did Uber part time, the amount of milfs that would compliment me on my cologne just before their husband's would enter on the other side was pretty funny. But it's definitely not a cheap cologne.

About Silver Mountain Water, unfortunately it's been watered-down a bit over time (newer batches have very short longevity and performance). Great scent, but the reformulation and continually rising prices have made it a tough choice. I generally try to avoid any clone-houses, but Armaf's "Sillage" (about $30/bottle) is a knockoff of Silver Mountain Water which smells like and has the performance of those earlier batches. It's one of the few times I'd actually recommend a clone over an original (even when there's a big price difference, I'll often stick to the original)
Silver Mountain Water (or Sillage) is an awesome scent which hasn't become quite as mainstream as something like Aventus yet, which seems to be what everyone is trying to smell like when they want something different from what Macys offers.. but everyone's wearing the same cheap clones trying to smell like the real thing.
