Why are perfumes so expensive?

Have you ever wondered why designer perfumes are so expensive? Especially when compared to equivalent products, which perfectly imitate the aroma of the original product. At DIVAIN we tell you the main reasons why perfumes are so expensive, something that will undoubtedly surprise you!

Why are perfumes so expensive?

Is it a question of quality? The truth is that this is not always the case, as certain manufacturers of equivalent perfumes such as Divain use high quality ingredients in their processes , resulting in a fragrance that is practically identical to the original.

This is not always the case, as some manufacturers choose to reduce costs in production, sacrificing the final quality of the product. But at DIVAIN we pay special attention to ensure that this does not happen, which is why our perfumes manage to live up to the expectations of our customers who are looking for high-end equivalent fragrances.

The main reason for this price difference is found in the very nature of the brand that designed it and how it is marketed, some extra processes that make the final product more expensive.

These are the three main reasons why perfume is so expensive today:

• Bottle design: It may seem like a small thing, but fashion brands pay a lot of attention to small details, which is not surprising considering the sector they work in. That is why some invest a lot of money in bottle design, as this is also part of their marketing strategy.
• Advertising: Fashion brands do not just sell a fragrance with their perfumes, but an idea, a desire to express one's own personality. That is why their advertising campaigns often use Hollywood actors and actresses , as well as singers and other celebrities from today's scene.
• Price is also marketing: many perfumes advocate selling the idea of ​​luxury, glamour and sophistication. The high prices of the big brands are also a strategy to convey exclusivity, and to make buyers feel that they are looking at a unique and high-quality product.

Why is it better to choose cheap perfumes?

By now you may be wondering: is it necessary to spend large sums of money to enjoy high-quality, designer fragrances?

The answer is no, since at DIVAIN we make equivalent perfumes with high-quality ingredients, and we pay special attention to both the fragrance and the manufacturing of the packaging to offer an excellent product to our customers and at a good final price.

In order to sell our products at competitive prices, we reduce costs in all those aspects that we consider superfluous , such as advertising or bottle design, but always placing special emphasis on quality.

That's why our advertising investment is much more limited than that of the big brands. You will never see big Hollywood actors spraying our fragrances on their skin, but in exchange you can enjoy cheap perfumes .

In addition, the design of our bottles is minimalist and simple, and we use the same design for all our creations. Of course, we use high-quality materials that do not compromise the condition of our fragrances, so that you can enjoy your DIVAIN perfume for a long time.
