Fuck. I hope nobody bought something from the link I posted based on my advice.
It's fake. A pretty good fake, but still a fake. When I opened the shipping box, I knew something was wrong because I smelled rubbing alcohol and synthetic musk. The manufacturer's box looks almost right, but has subtle mistakes. The paint on the bottle is wrong, the pump is black instead of silver (someone put a fake GIT pump on a fake Himalaya by mistake) and the logos don't line up.
You can't have your cake and eat it, too. Hopefully I'll be able to get a full refund.
edit: I also don't smell any ambergris. It's one of the base notes and should be prominent. The sandalwood is pretty good, though.
