Perfume, like many other luxury items, follows a premium pricing strategy. Items whose price alone carries most of the prestige. Price is not always indicative of quality or uniqueness. Sometimes the price is high for the sake of being high. Thank you.
There's a fragrance brand in Australia which is called designer brand and it's literally replicas of hundred dollar perfumes for like under $10 at your local pharmacy
@Elator11777 from another point of view I can say your statement could be true because if we divide Johnny depp fee for commercial with all that fragrance bottle then I would come around 50cents-$1 per bottle probably cause approximately there would be 1M bottle of that perfume after Johnny did commercial
Production cost maybe is very cheap, but i wouldn't dare to spend a single penny just for some nice smelling liquid in a glass bottle. In fact, i will buy a bottle of water and when i fnish it i will put fart spray in it
He is talking about his crappy packed, synthetic smelling fragrances - trust me baccarat rouge is much more costy to produce - i knoe that because i work in manufacture
You are absolutely correct. Making a fragrance is an art and just like many other things are worth far more than the sum of their parts. That being said, there is absolutely no reason it should cost $300 to smell a certain way.
Also keep in mind, that cost of production only applies when buying in bulk, 10k units and up. So thats 50k worth of product you need to sell if you want to break even
I like how he was honest about the cost then gives a brief analogy and explanation about the actual value of the product despite the overall production cost.
if he was really honest, he has to breakdown the cost of machinery, factory, marketing, shipment, insurance, government requirements like incorporating, legal, accounting, etc.
he was lying out of his ass, no one cells a bottle, especially one meant for perfume production, as seperate parts. the bottle cap and sprayer combined are roughly 50 cents. source: have purchased bottles for various things including making perfume
Hello everyone, I'm from Vietnam. I am currently looking for a direct OEM perfume manufacturer in France under a private label, but it has been challenging in my search. I hope to receive assistance from anyone who knows reputable factories. Thank you.
I have a retired relative who used to work with a company who is the executive distributor for Asia for one of the top french cosmetic house. She said they paid USD8 for a tube of face serum which retails in shopping malls somewhere between USD90 to USD100. Pretty similar for fragrance. The markup to each country distributor is about 200% and from country distributor to retailers / malls is another 100%. The shopping malls then mark up another 100% or so. Most large discounts made at the stores or malls or discounters are usually backed by the distributors or manufacturers so each supply chain is still making about 30% profit.
Very interesting, you forgot the marketing cost, the perfumer, the natural added cost, the rent ,taxes... The bad batches ( error in production) + transport + Gift for influencers.
He was talking about the costs in just making the product. Not everything else like marketing because we don't know how much a company puts into marketing. It could be 1 million or 100 million
This is price for an individual fragrance not liabilities being taken out of the assets of the fragrance’s sale price, this is how much it costs to make a fragrance which is $6
There’s a cost that is forgotten and it actually is the largest, especially for low production stuff such as fragrance, which is development cost. Those products that goes on your skin and are absorbed by it must respect extremely tight regulations while still being agreeable for people. Also, brands tends to spend millions of dollars just for advertising. The ad that costed the most to ever be made for television were actually French parfum ads. There’s also all the other indirect costs to keep the company running. All of that adds a lot. So much that the product is just a tiny part of the entire cost
Theres a beer in germany that does not spend shit on Advertising and it works. Because a crate costs 8€ 20 bottles So you actually pay for the product and the people who make it.
@@Voiceboxentertainment yes, but what I explained was that production costs are not the only thing to think about. And in some cases it the lowest cost of a product.
@@djisch you can’t compare what is not comparable. We’re talking about multinational brands that sell in the billion. As for beer, in most western countries it’s mostly illegal to make advertisments on alcoholic beverages. And most of the “big brands” (like Heineken, Guinness…) selling those alcohols are ones that started their buisness years ago when those kind of advertisments were not yet illegal. It’s very unlikely (and I really can’t think of any) that a less than 20 years old beer brand can develop as much and internationally (and I mean like in more than 5-10 countries) in the near futur
Then there's other business expenses like employees/taxes/freight costs/advertising, the fluid also has teams of smellologists, scientists, and ingredient gatherers to collect things like civet paste, ambergris, musk, moss, fungus, etc and put it together which does factor into the price too. Also yeah, companies hike their prices often. Too often being "cheap" is associated with low quality especially with perfume, nobody wants to admit they smell like ass after paying 10k either.
I mean there the cost of running a factory... Paying workers to put the stuff together... Paying people to manage and coordinate the production of it...
Yup for any sought after ingredient, price for it keeps going up at auction, a lot of brands are downgrading quality of ingredients to stop from paying more.
@@schraderclemens6122 Fallow, subscribe, hit the like button, bla bla, even most popular influencers on yt says that, so i guess your argument is just wrong 😛
That totally depends of the quality of the fragrance and the amount of MOQ of your bottle order. If you do smaller batches with around 300-1000 units your bottles and juice will cost a lot more than that
Yeah I think he’s more so just giving rough estimate just to give an idea of approximate cost. Not to mention what the cap is made of shape size and process to make it affect pricing as well as how many order anything in bulk and you can get a better deal. Is it a style they already make or will they need a new process for making your cap style a lot goes into this stuff.
You forgot to mention brand building, fragrance design, direct marketing, celeb endorsement, retail shelving cost, distribution, warehousing, etc. Now it does have a high margin but so many people miss the total costs. Also, these products are bought like once per year.
don't forget marketing cost, distribution cost, research and development cost. it really isn't just the actual value of the bottle and packaging per se.
depends, some brands do not market a lot. Distribution costs covered by customer if strictly online, and the nose behind the scent develops them. For the big brands its all the things you mentioned plus the bottle design is part of the package.
he's also forgetting the shipping/logistics cost and various taxes sales/import etc. that bump up the final price by alot. i'm looking into opening my own fragrance company and the shipping costs only push the fragrance bottle from $1.5 to $6 cause i have to ship the bottles from China all the way to the manufacturing factory in Spain. also if you are doing any customizations on the bottle it bumps up the price even more, it can easily get to $10 per bottle.
Worth is based on what people are willing to pay for it. That guy is a genius without marketing team just keep popping those vids. With his funny personality you start to like the guy and maybe you want to try his brands.
The production cost maybe $2.50. But the actual formulating and planning in order to get it to production for can cost from tens of thousand for a niche company, to hundreds of thousands or more for a larger company. Since they have to pay everyone along the line from the formulation people to the marketers to actually get it produced and into the stores.
One detail he forgot, in order to get the cost per unit down as much as he says, the company had to buy millions of units. So with that in mind, the company paid 6,000,000 for all the product in this example and if they sell it for 120 dollars a bottle they still have to sell 50,000 units to break even not including the costs of the employees and building costs, among other things. Business isn't cheap, you're paying for the risk the company took to buy the units in the first place, among many other factors. That said, I doubt the numbers he stated were even close to actual costs of manufacturing.
Yea speaking from experience that's roughly the correct amount of production and I wholeheartedly agree with him. The research development in this are not included, the brainstorming, for the logo, logistics, marketing, etc, it's so much work compared to just producing the perfume
That's why MEXX and Bruno Banani cost what they cost (around 10-15€). If anyone thought that a designer fragrance from Dior/Chanel/Armani would cost significantly more to produce then that person also thinks that designer clothes are much more valuable in terms of production value.
I see it as i pay for a splendid blend rather than the value of each ingredient. A perfume is also a work of art which also adds to the value, and last, something you can identify yourself with!
Fun fact: factories that make Jordans and Nikes the production cost of the shoes are actually under 5 dollars maybe about 2 dollars, but since they are a big brand and it’s good looking they have to sell their shoes over 100 dollars which is why they make so much profit out of their shoes alone

So Creed Aventus 100mL costs $8 to produce (not including marketing & distribution), but it then sells for $400. Are consumers getting a fair deal here?
It's 100% fair no matter what price they put on it. Fragrances are a luxury. People (a lot of them) are happily buying Aventus at its price. And they continue to do so. If people are willing to pay for it, obviously they would continue selling it at that price. If some people can't afford it, there are literally thousands of other choices. If you really can't afford it, then buy a duplicate :) Like club de nuit intense by Armaf
@@bornafana Chocolate bars are a luxury. If the confectionary company who makes Snickers decided to charge $50 for a Snickers bar then there would still be a lot of other chocolate bars that I could buy instead. I could afford to pay $50 to buy a Snickers if I really wanted to, but the question is would I be getting a good deal?
they would not make any money if they sold their fragrances for how much they made them. you pay for the time of the perfumer to create a scent, brand, marketing costs that they paid etc...
That's why Lattafa is bringing great perfumes for much cheaper than designer fragrances and niche fragrances. But yeh the cost to make is really cheap. They just make loads of money by selling them for a lot of money. The only unmentioned cost is the price of creating the scent with different ingredients and experimenting with them. However even still if they make a killer perfume, they would still be rich if they sold the perfume for £20.
The cost of the fragrance sitting on a shelf in a store that’s filled with other products that are all competing to be on that shelf. The cost of the name behind a fragrance that has established a customer base that consistently comes back to that fragrance or brand. The cost of advertisement of a fragrance. All of the above affect the overall cost of a fragrance.
Products are like the stocks. Perceived price is far more important than cost. Doesn't mean we have to support it, and it sucks for the consumer... but its expected for business
Yeah, the only problem is when the $6 perfume is sold for over $200 and it’s not because of low availability but because people will pay for it. It’s basically companies preying on people’s mindset that a higher price creates exclusivity and subsequent bragging rights.
Well you need to buy all of those in bulk, pay for marketing, perfumer, store rent, paying lawyers, accountants, staff, getting necessary licence and certifications among many other things. Product itself might be cheap to make per piece. But in order for you to create and sell the product. You need to invest the money in all kinds of things. And that's before you're even making profit. Economy of scale doesn't benefit the business from the beginning. Edit: I'm not in this field of business. But as someone who have recently started a different business. I can say there are many cost that are involved which customer might not see from the surface
The production might be 6 bucks but the R&D that goes into it, the marketing, complying with the safety regulations, price adjustment for unsold stock, price to take up a space in the store which you pay rent for. You add everything up and the cost of a fragrance to a business is maybe 20-30 dollars. There’s still a huge premium you pay for designer brands but you are paying for the risk they took when starting the business, all those salaries they need to pay, and interest payments for their loans, they add up.
Yea but that’s what it takes to be a good brand and a unique company. You have to believe you can market it, sell it and create endless fragrances and rarely flop. You’re creating a culture fan base within your brand to continue to buy.
Mass production minimizes labor cost, you no longer have someone laboring away for months to make one bottle or grinding the ingredients, and the upmarket is usually absurd like 75-300$ especially for larger containers.
My favorite perfume went out of production. It used to be prized in the lower category, but after production stopped, prices raised on eBay up to a tenfold. A specific scent can have a high value.
The reason a painting is so mutch more then the production costs, is because it takes actual skill, filling a bottle with some fluid doesn't, there is no reason parfume has to cost over 15 dollars
The value of a fragrance, as of any other product, is by definition the amount of money where companies are willing to sell it and consumers are willing to buy it
True but these costs are materials only really and dont allow any design costs. However does explain why most cheaper fragrances fall in price over time after initial outlays are recovered.
There's a brand in India called Festora I think. They recreate all branded perfumes of even 800$ in 15-20$ range and deliever all over country. Bought atleast 8 from them, Creed, Dior Sauvage, Bacrat Rouge etc and it's lasting like 14hrs straight!
I agree with him and for the ones who wonder why perfumes are crazy high prices is only because of the brands name like Apple or Samsung for an example.
Plus you pay the workers, Utilities to keep the factory going, advertising and probably spend no more than 10-20$ per fragrance, realize some essential oils cost a lot and he was most likely talking about a super synthetic fragrance. Cheap aroma chemicals.
A general rule of thumb is that a product should be 3x the cost of production to ensure a profit is made, that brings the grand total cost of this product, in a practice business sense, to be 18$
He has freshly came off of some cohere not long enough to where he looks sad and needs more and not too soon. After where he’s hopping around dancing this is just normal Jeremy fragrance.
This is only true if you’re buying cheap perfume. High end scents like oud and sandalwood oils can go for $45/ml wholesale. Let’s say you’ve got 5ml oud 3ml sandalwood and 7ml of other notes, you’re talking about $200-300 of oils (wholesale) and that would only be concentrated enough to be considered an Eau de Toilette. Eau de Parfum will be 20-30% oils and Parfum will be 30-40%. So your $250 perfume is probably marked up a chunk but it is definitely containing a lot more goodies than a $20 product. And you can understand how the luxury ranges can see prices well into the $thousands. A lot of high street brands will use synthetic scents instead of natural extracts, and that’s fine too. They can smell pretty good and it keeps the price down. The most important thing is to find a scent you love and make sure your oil content is high because that will mean it’s gonna last longer when applied. Some cheap brands or knock offs will have a very low content - it smells great at first, but after an hour it’s gone. I recommend always going for at least Eau de Parfum or Parfum, it usually works out better value for you.
I’m convinced that everything in our modern society costs 50 cents
it is everything is jacked up so the board members get paid
Pretty much, but then there’s the time and effort that goes into it among other things
100%
eft production cost & netcode was 50 cents too
The mark up on fragrance and cosmetics is crazy high.

That's why MEXX and Bruno Banani cost what they cost (around 10-15€). If anyone thought that a designer fragrance from Dior/Chanel/Armani would cost significantly more to produce then that person also thinks that designer clothes are much more valuable in terms of production value.
I see it as i pay for a splendid blend rather than the value of each ingredient. A perfume is also a work of art which also adds to the value, and last, something you can identify yourself with!
Fun fact: factories that make Jordans and Nikes the production cost of the shoes are actually under 5 dollars maybe about 2 dollars, but since they are a big brand and it’s good looking they have to sell their shoes over 100 dollars which is why they make so much profit out of their shoes alone
Hello everyone, I'm from Vietnam. I am currently looking for a direct OEM perfume manufacturer in France under a private label, but it has been challenging in my search. I hope to receive assistance from anyone who knows reputable factories. Thank you.
From what I hear, most of the money are spent on researching and finding new fragrance itself
nope...its the branding and prestige of it
Does the bottle magically fill with the juice?
Does the ingredients magically come together? Wow
I happy that you're back to yourself man, I was sad when I saw you losing yourself ☹️
So Creed Aventus 100mL costs $8 to produce (not including marketing & distribution), but it then sells for $400. Are consumers getting a fair deal here?
I think Que quality of ingredients are supposedly hard to make. I mean, for a creed or a Marly production should be at least 15 dollars
It's 100% fair no matter what price they put on it. Fragrances are a luxury. People (a lot of them) are happily buying Aventus at its price. And they continue to do so. If people are willing to pay for it, obviously they would continue selling it at that price.
If some people can't afford it, there are literally thousands of other choices. If you really can't afford it, then buy a duplicate :) Like club de nuit intense by Armaf
If they don't feel that they are - then they do not need to buy. That is how capitalism works.
@@bornafana Chocolate bars are a luxury. If the confectionary company who makes Snickers decided to charge $50 for a Snickers bar then there would still be a lot of other chocolate bars that I could buy instead. I could afford to pay $50 to buy a Snickers if I really wanted to, but the question is would I be getting a good deal?
I only buy frags under £20 or less... Just wait for deals etc... A lot of good stuff at that price range
Goes to store
Me: *_"JUST NEED THE JUICE"_*
Thanks for letting me know something I already know, luxury brands are 99% full of shit and their price is not indicative of their quality.
Wow nobody did this before! Thank you for the transparency
I appreciate the info boss. God bless you
Interlude is my fav. Try reviewing psychedelic from Jovoy.
So, even brands that sell their bottles for $50 are making an astronomical mark-up? That's wild man
And much less.
they need to pay their employers, taxes, profit,etc
marketing costs a lot
they would not make any money if they sold their fragrances for how much they made them. you pay for the time of the perfumer to create a scent, brand, marketing costs that they paid etc...
There you have it. The reason I WOULD NOT spend more than 50$ on a fragance, love my cheapies. Thanks Jeremy 🙂
opportunity for a nice loop ... missed
very nice info though
very nice message too
That's why Lattafa is bringing great perfumes for much cheaper than designer fragrances and niche fragrances.
But yeh the cost to make is really cheap.
They just make loads of money by selling them for a lot of money.
The only unmentioned cost is the price of creating the scent with different ingredients and experimenting with them.
However even still if they make a killer perfume, they would still be rich if they sold the perfume for £20.
The cost of the fragrance sitting on a shelf in a store that’s filled with other products that are all competing to be on that shelf.
The cost of the name behind a fragrance that has established a customer base that consistently comes back to that fragrance or brand.
The cost of advertisement of a fragrance.
All of the above affect the overall cost of a fragrance.
Products are like the stocks. Perceived price is far more important than cost.
Doesn't mean we have to support it, and it sucks for the consumer... but its expected for business
Please compare Club De Nuit Intense Man EDT vs EDP
STRENGTH POWER KRAFTTTTTT
Yeah, the only problem is when the $6 perfume is sold for over $200 and it’s not because of low availability but because people will pay for it. It’s basically companies preying on people’s mindset that a higher price creates exclusivity and subsequent bragging rights.
Well you need to buy all of those in bulk, pay for marketing, perfumer, store rent, paying lawyers, accountants, staff, getting necessary licence and certifications among many other things. Product itself might be cheap to make per piece. But in order for you to create and sell the product. You need to invest the money in all kinds of things. And that's before you're even making profit. Economy of scale doesn't benefit the business from the beginning.
Edit: I'm not in this field of business. But as someone who have recently started a different business. I can say there are many cost that are involved which customer might not see from the surface
The production might be 6 bucks but the R&D that goes into it, the marketing, complying with the safety regulations, price adjustment for unsold stock, price to take up a space in the store which you pay rent for. You add everything up and the cost of a fragrance to a business is maybe 20-30 dollars. There’s still a huge premium you pay for designer brands but you are paying for the risk they took when starting the business, all those salaries they need to pay, and interest payments for their loans, they add up.
Yea but that’s what it takes to be a good brand and a unique company. You have to believe you can market it, sell it and create endless fragrances and rarely flop. You’re creating a culture fan base within your brand to continue to buy.
Very informative.
Honest Man ♂️🌻
Mass production minimizes labor cost, you no longer have someone laboring away for months to make one bottle or grinding the ingredients, and the upmarket is usually absurd like 75-300$ especially for larger containers.
I would do anything to go on a spree smelling all your fragrances. So SO jealous!
My favorite perfume went out of production. It used to be prized in the lower category, but after production stopped, prices raised on eBay up to a tenfold. A specific scent can have a high value.
What was it? 🤔
@@t-bv1bz It was a licensed product with Harley Davidson label. It had a very nice sandalwood scent.
The reason a painting is so mutch more then the production costs, is because it takes actual skill, filling a bottle with some fluid doesn't, there is no reason parfume has to cost over 15 dollars
Is there a company that will analyze the fragrance mixture so that is can be made in bulk?
It's information like this that really makes me respect the intelligence of the wealthy less and less.
My god, you doing a killing on your fragrance lineup Jeremy. Soon you will have a Ferrari but the Office smells great I give you that.
I am amazed this perfume costs so much money to produce and package.
I thought it was about 2 dollars.
This was helpful. Thanks.
It wasn't.
He fails to mention r&d costs, advertisement costs, store costs and logistics. That's just from the top of my head, there must be others.
The value of a fragrance, as of any other product, is by definition the amount of money where companies are willing to sell it and consumers are willing to buy it
See that's the reason why he is who he is! Not the drama, not the dancing. This! Right here! His knowledge about perfumery!
Every fragrance, or some more?
Well said sir.
I apreciate u are telling the true.
True but these costs are materials only really and dont allow any design costs. However does explain why most cheaper fragrances fall in price over time after initial outlays are recovered.
There's a brand in India called Festora I think. They recreate all branded perfumes of even 800$ in 15-20$ range and deliever all over country. Bought atleast 8 from them, Creed, Dior Sauvage, Bacrat Rouge etc and it's lasting like 14hrs straight!
Good idea
I agree with him and for the ones who wonder why perfumes are crazy high prices is only because of the brands name like Apple or Samsung for an example.
Something that stuck with me: You pay for a specific outcome.
Don't forget the research and development cost on Juice, bottle, and everything involved plus cost of the
Perfumers craft
I am about to get my own fragrance made and sell. WOW!!👀🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is why I buy and wear Cremo. Inexpensive and smells great! Longevity for 9+ hours.
Plus you pay the workers, Utilities to keep the factory going, advertising and probably spend no more than 10-20$ per fragrance, realize some essential oils cost a lot and he was most likely talking about a super synthetic fragrance. Cheap aroma chemicals.
A general rule of thumb is that a product should be 3x the cost of production to ensure a profit is made, that brings the grand total cost of this product, in a practice business sense, to be 18$
i love you fragrence
A soldier might be thinking "I lost my arm. Oh, it's another 50 cents"
He has freshly came off of some cohere not long enough to where he looks sad and needs more and not too soon. After where he’s hopping around dancing this is just normal Jeremy fragrance.
This is only true if you’re buying cheap perfume. High end scents like oud and sandalwood oils can go for $45/ml wholesale. Let’s say you’ve got 5ml oud 3ml sandalwood and 7ml of other notes, you’re talking about $200-300 of oils (wholesale) and that would only be concentrated enough to be considered an Eau de Toilette. Eau de Parfum will be 20-30% oils and Parfum will be 30-40%.
So your $250 perfume is probably marked up a chunk but it is definitely containing a lot more goodies than a $20 product. And you can understand how the luxury ranges can see prices well into the $thousands.
A lot of high street brands will use synthetic scents instead of natural extracts, and that’s fine too. They can smell pretty good and it keeps the price down.
The most important thing is to find a scent you love and make sure your oil content is high because that will mean it’s gonna last longer when applied. Some cheap brands or knock offs will have a very low content - it smells great at first, but after an hour it’s gone.
I recommend always going for at least Eau de Parfum or Parfum, it usually works out better value for you.
