OOo I forgot to add that I don't buy Dior or Chanel because of the name brand or because I feel better because I have purchased something expensive... The packaging has nothing to do with the items I like... As Pas said....and I agree.... I buy certain items because they are better and do work.... and for the perfume there is no explanation needed if one has a good sense of smell... lol

All of the more expensive perfumes, shampoo or skin care products are highly concentrated so you need to use less each time. " a little dab will do ya"........ With lets say a .25 oz of Coco-Chanel parfum @ $80 ... you need only a dab behind each ear or on inside of wrist... If you use more it will be oh so over powering . And it will last a year or so... The cheaper perfumes you use more and you will need to buy it more often and they don't even smell that great.......as always IMHO
