    At that price range the price has nothing to do with the quality but rather is a way of making rich people “feel” special. In fact you will be less blown away the more expensive a fragrance gets because cost influences perception in both the positive and negative.

    I know that Lalique used to make some fragrances that were a couple thousand, but it was almost certainly due to the crystal used for the bottle and had nothing to do with the juice. Some Lalique sculptures can go for tens of thousands.
    Paying that price for a fragrance just can't ever be worth it. I don't see how. Unless you're buying a piece of history and you're an art collector, something like a perfectly preserved bottle of something rare from 100 years ago, that price point just doesn't make sense.

    • @wib6044
      @wib6044 Рік тому +3

      Unless it’s rare/limited Ouds, Rose, Jasmine, Sandalwood etc. some of those materials can run a $1,000 a gram.
      Especially if it’s a current production material. A rare wild Oud is expensive because it is rare, so that is a little more subjective.
      Roses will take years to grow, thousands of hours of labor, water, land expenses etc. and finally take up to thousands of pounds of the material to produce the oil. So it is objectively more expensive to produce.

    I'm pretty sure Ali has none of these out on a stall in RDHP, but he did say that you can buy a pre-made custom 1:1 created by Roja Dove for £7.5k? This was like a year ago, I suspect they'd be more expensive now. And he'd even built you 1 from scratch for £90k. Most of the other stuff out on the stall is cheaper though, think outside of Haute Luxe the PDLNs are the most expensive ones they have...? Don't quote me on that. Obviously Xerjoff also has those Amphoraes that are 6ml for €1,650. LOVED THIS VIDEO BY THE WAY. If you're ever on a trip somewhere, always hit up some local boutiques (if they allow you to film).

  • @camille7325
    @camille7325 Рік тому

    Yeah, I've always thought that true high priced perfumes would never be able to be touched, because the quality of their materials is unmatched. In that type of market, only certain houses are privileged with certain materials, which keeps the price high as Heaven. Some of the Middle Eastern perfumes are among the highest, partly due to the vintage nature of their products (aged amber essential oil that's 50 years old, for example). That's a price that's real. Prices due to marketing campaigns, I'm conflicted as to whether it's merited, which is why I'm ok with clones. If I want an amazing fragrance with higher quality, I'll make my own.
    And it's the government regulations that are throttling the creativity of fragrances. Once that BS is off our necks, we'll be able to have a lot more creativity as we once did, and allow the consumers to decide.
