400 bucks for the 50mL? These houses is crazy

Its criminal the prices from some of these houses... I think America get charged a little bit more than Europe/UK but its still ridiculous over here...

Last year I think Chanel put their prices up 3 in one year!!! Even still atleast you got 200ml for £375 from their Les Exclusifs range...

I know niche brands charge more but Killian are owned by Estee Lauder and are no more niche than Tom Ford these days... I dont think I could bring myself to pay full retail Tom Ford prices either tbh

Hopefully the fragrance bubble bursts soon and prices come down...

Estee, Aerin, and the rest of the Lauders have lost their minds. $400???

Just buy samples so you have variety

You can still get some quality stuff without paying out the crazy £300-£400+ prices...

Few that come to mind Eau Savage which is a GOAT and can be picked up for £70... Same with Hermes Bel Ami Vetiver and Equipage in the range of like £80-£100, absolute classics...

I recommend checking out Chanel Edimbourg too, can cop that for about £80 which is strangely cheap for Chanel... One of my favourite fragrances for the summer...

You can picked some dope niche and vintage fragrances for good prices too...

What do you mean by mature

 

[Water Ur Seeds]

Got some vintage minis to try and compare against the modern formulations...

I need to find a Mrs who loves fragrances, as atm Im buying female vintages for my dukes!!! lol

The scene profile, IMO, is suited more towards someone in their mid 30s or older. It's not like Sauvage, One Million, or one of the mass appealing clubbing fragrances etc

Caught this gem for a great price...

Its discontinued now but I tried a vintage mini a while back and loved it... Its only an early 2000s bottle, whereas I believe the mini was from the 80s, so my 00s lacks some of the oakmoss strength and not quite as deep but it's still a great fragrance....

After the citrus opening it dries down nice light, sweet and creamy scent thanks for the orris root... Though its got a punch from the oakmoss and citrus...

Has anyone ever created their own fragance before? There is a place out here in Georgetown, DC that allows you to create your own frag on the spot. I was going to do a first date here but saw the prices and said "this is more of a date for someone who is my girlfriend", lol.

I haven't, but I would LOVE to one day. I believe @Cock Mcstuffins has if my memory is correct...

Edit: it's a great date idea.
