$5,000 Perfume

We thought $590 mascara was outrageous, so imagine our surprise when we discovered a $5,000 bottle of perfume. That’s a high price to smell nice!
Yu, which means rain in Chinese, is the luxury scent by Mane, and it was given the sniff test by New York Times perfume critic, Chandler Burr.

“It’s actually very interesting, aesthetically gorgeous,” he said. “You can smell the money in it. It’s almost a fresh quality, like using a very good toothpaste.”

But is it worth such big bucks? He doesn’t think so. “$5,000 is marketing, just increases the marketing campaign.”
