| - I don't know how they do it, but they do: inexpensive brand name cologne in original, unopened packaging (none of the tester bottle stuff!).
I am a cologne consumer so shelling out $100+ every so often got a bit tiring. And then I discovered Ace Gifts: my solution to my cologne problem. They carry most of the popular brand names for both men and women: Burberry, Boss, Versace, Nautica etc. Of course, they don't carry vintage or limited editions.
The prices are ridiculously marked down and there is room to manoeuvre even then; it is Chinatown after all! A 100 ml Burberry London in original packaging for $20 less than Eaton Center prices: sign me up!
Thus far, I've not had any issues with any of the cologne's I've purchased. To my nose (and those of others around me) the scents have had the same characteristics (sillage, cloud etc.) as compared to the ones I've bought from Eaton Center, Bay etc.
It's a good place to buy from if you know what you want; the guys behind the counter are helpful, but not as knowledgeable as staff at other places.
This store is in such a random location: amidst a sea of Asian restaurants. But, hey, if I can eat Peking duck and then stroll over to buy cologne next door, which means I feel good and I smell good, I am not complaining!
