Why it's worth that much

Have you ever tried buying those expensive perfumes in malls? The ones that cost $60 US (P 3500 up)?

Or if not surely you've had put any other perfume on before?

While we would complain that the price is a bit too steep for perfume, I feel it's still worth the price.
( of course if money is a problem you shouldn't really be buying perfume at all )

Out of curiosity, I bought 2 100 Fl oz. bottles of perfume from a local perfume stall (the ones with short cylindrical colored translucent bottles - that should give you a clue where it's from). They costed something P1400 (est. $ 25 US) for both. Let's call it perfume A.

Then I tried that together with the expensive brand that I have a little left of (originally a 250 ml. volume). Let's call this perfume B.

I applied A and B in both wrists and see how long they lasted.

In less than 12 hours, perfume A's scent has completely worn off.
48 hours came and I can still pick up perfume B's scent.
60 hours came and I can still pick up perfume B's scent faintly.

When I look at it all on paper, I would end up paying more for the same amount of perfume (perfume A). So I realized that I should've bought perfume B. I would have been more satisfied with my purchase.

For want of being able to save, I ended up spending more, so that's probably going to be last bottle of perfume of that brand that I'll buy.
