    Perfume shop always asks for ID as most comps are open to over 18s only. Plus a lot are starting to ask for ID as so many people claimin falsely. It looks genuine to me

    I think it must be legit. There was a comp by Perfume Shop on Facebook giving away such a gift. If you remember entering that AND the email corresponds with your FB account then I'd say "Congratulations, you've won".
