    Thought I'd start this as a thread of its own to gather opinions and hopefully gain more attention (taken from Quick Reviews - Liquid). Also because there doesn't seem to be many reviews of people on any forums with the same issue...

    Just did a bit of searching to find a pic of M&P's concentrate bottles (the real thing) but no joy.

    Got quite a few concentrates recently and made up a few but something doesn't seem right about the quality of the concentrates themselves - the colours are virtually clear and the smells are nowhere near as potent than an actual bottle of M&P ready made.

    I only had two ready mades to go by - one was most definitely an original M&P and the other I'm 100% sure was a mix made up by the store I bought it in (someone else here posted about theirs being this too).
    With the original, the Pchela's was v dark in colour, smelt and tasted exactly as it should - the made-up mix was weak and tasteless...
    ...which brings me back to the concentrates I have - as mentioned they too are weak and bland. The labelling really surprised me (had the company's own sticker on as opposed to M&P's). I don't know if they're meant to BE repackaged.

    Has anyone found this to be the case with concentrates? Have you ever gotten an 'original' one but then a repackaged one another time? Any pics of M&P's REAL concentrate bottles?

    Reason I ask specifically about M&P's is as I say I had a real premade and had that to go by. I also got concentrates 'by' Perfumers Apprentice and Capella - also repackaged with seller's logo. Anyone shed some light?

    These ones have the M&P logo on the pics but I've never ordered them so I wouldn't know an original one.

    The first bottle looks like a repackage one but the others look good.

    Thanks! Seems that pics of the concentrates are not really out there. Might just have to e-mail M&P in states for a pic and ask how they send out concentrates to resellers - plain bottled/labelled, in the 10mls or in much larger sizes (if in the case of repackaging).

    Really not happy with the quality of them tbh, may just get in touch with place I bought them from once I get some answers from original manufacts...

    Maybe they have a list of authorised sellers like T-juice do.

    I know the T-juice concentrates are bottled by T-juice and just resold,I've bought them from 2 sellers and same bottle,label and flavour.

    I've been getting my m&p concentrate from chefs vapour and I'm having no issues at all.

    I would imagine that m&p send it out to resellers in litre containers and they just repackage it and send it on to the end user.

    Thanks Fred. Were yours in bottles labelled by C Vapour or M&P themselves?
    If with a MP label could you post a pic?

    I suspect some resellers may be watering down the concentrates with pg. Anyone else think so?
