Men's Fragrances

Ah, gotcha...agreed, shipping is steep (same price to ship to Canada too btw). Buying 2 bottles helps a bit. ;)

As far as samples go, you can check theperfumedcourt.com, but they're pretty pricey.

Thanks Dane! Website is helpful! :)

I thought this was interesting...albeit not surprising.

Total annual releases:



If anyone's curious...celebrity perfumes from '91: Liz Taylor White Diamonds, something from Julio Iglasius, and Mikhail Baryshnikov's first and only.

*source Boisdejasmine...one of the few blogs worth reading.

Some quick codes all:

for luckyscent: MUA -- this promo code has been working forever and it gets you free shipping. Great if you're just ordering samples because otherwise shipping is $9.95


MBD

hah forever seems to have ended

Amazing chart. Thanks, Dane. It's pretty nuts.

Do you have any information on how much sales have actually grown in this time? That looks like a bubble if ever I saw one.

Total annual releases

I can't decide which is more suprising, the huge amount of releases or the relatively small amount of celebrity releases

I do not...they tend to keep that type of info as hidden as possible. I think I've mentioned before in this thread, but 5 companies produce 90% of those numbers...so they make money, then the licensee makes money, retail makes money, discounters, decanters, etc. etc. etc. I can tell you that in 2001, a 100ml mainstream release was around $60, compared to today's average of around $110.

There was this short clip about celeb perfumes on E! channel the other day, and there was Britney Spears (in what looked like at least 3-4 years ago) saying she had just sold her 10th million bottle...

Hey Dane, I just received the Bvlgari Black I got online based on your recommendation.
I didn't know which one it was, but it brought back some sense-memories which were completely lost in my subconscious for about a decade...
Kind of "inception"-like, dream-within-a-dream type of stuff...

A wonderful, wonderful perfume...thanks for the recommendation...
