Why is perfume expensive?

this is about the making of the perfume business. How and where do they get their ingredients.Why is perfume expensive?
It's all about marketing, and it's a long process. You design a bottle, a name, a marketing campaign, and the finished product is tested thousands of times before placed for sell.


Perfumes are created by people called the ';nose';, and they can tell instantly what a note is just by memory.


Notes are gathered all over the world, and you pay for the higher quality. It takes thousands of rose petals to press just to make a ounce of rose oil. So it's a complex process.Why is perfume expensive?
because perfumes are special
Agree with the last poster. They are expensive, because they are branded, and just as everything else from Channel, Gucci, Lacoste etc' is expensive, perfumes, are of course expensive too. I feel a lot of times, that certain brands, that first started as only perfume designers and now moved in to clothing fashion, only create clothes, with their logos on them to basically promote their perfumes, the clothing looks a lot like a promotional item for their perfume brand, not the opposite.
mostly from flowers and other extracts of well scents. the making that goes into them and stuff creates a normal economic system and because the sellers know consumers want it and will buy it at w/e price, that's the price they'll sell it for....it's all economics!
Perfumes are expensive because you are paying for the brand, not the actual contents. You are mostly paying for the name Chanel or Gucci!
