Now all the scalpers have it. Good job
Anyone know of a dupe for this model?

It's non-returnable but can still get your refund if you explain your situation to customer service

Hence my post for the Eau de parfum.

I have the Toilette, Parfum and Vetiver flanker of this and while I hear a lot of good stuff about the Parfum.. the Toilette and Vetiver are definitely my favorites! Very similar scent to the EDT, but the Parfum just has an extra "floor cleaner" note that I'm not a big fan of
Amazon sells a lot of legit stuff - 3rd parties sell a mix of fakes and legit items. Unfortunately, Amazon "comminges" their inventory so you never know. But designer fragrances (Dior, Hermes, etc..) can't really be compared to their clothing/bags. They're usually $100-150 bottles versus $10,000-15,000 bags (which would never be sold) there. You can find Hermes stuff at Ross and fragrance discounters

Cologne / Eau De Cologne / EDC = Lowest amount of fragrance/oil to alcohol -- Comes off "strong" and loud, but doesn't last terribly long.
Toilette / Eau de Toilette / EDT = A bit more fragrance/oil than EDC, still comes off strong/loud, lasts a bit longer
Eau de Parfum / EDP = More fragrance oils than EDT, doesn't come off as strong, but will last much longer
Parfum = More fragrance oil than EDP, can come off a bit "weaker" but lasts all day
Lately we've been seeing more "Extraits" and "Elixers" and "Extreme EDP" and "Intense EDT" which are sometimes similar (or above) parfum, and sometimes just a fancy name for an EDT or EDP.
The higher concentrations tend to feel "smoother blended" and don't come off as harsh (Sauvage EDT vs Parfum, for example -- EDT is very loud and strong but doesn't last too long -- Parfum is much softer but better blended and lasts a long time, EDP is inbetween)
To make it a little trickier though.. some notes tend to fade quickly (a lot of the "fresh" notes in mens colognes might disappear incredibly quick) while others (Oud, especially) will stay around all day. So even if theres a fresh scent in an EDP/Parfum concentration, it might not last all day. An EDP with an Oud note might last a whole day or two. Something like Sauvage Elixer which is a high concentration should be soft, but it's incredibly strong and lasts forever.
And to make it even trickier than that.. Brands change the scent notes from concentration to concentration. Sauvage EDT, EDP, Parfum and Elixer all share a similar background, but they're different notes. Bleu de Chanel EDT, EDP and Parfum are also a bit different. So it's not just about the concentration you want, the notes will shift around from version to version
