Are Expensive Fragrances WORTH It?
About this video
Centeno explains the key differences between cheap and expensive fragrances, covering longevity, concentration levels (EDT vs EDP), scent complexity, ingredients, packaging quality, and the role of branding in pricing. He argues that while price doesn’t always correlate with quality, higher-end fragrances typically last longer and offer greater depth, though affordable options can still smell excellent.
Key takeaways
- Centeno notes that cheaper fragrances typically last only a few hours, while expensive ones last all day due to higher perfume oil concentration (EDT at 5-15% vs EDP at 15-20%)
- Centeno explains that complex fragrances have three note layers (top, heart, bass), and cheaper fragrances often lack the deeper notes that create sophistication
- Centeno argues that branding and packaging significantly influence fragrance pricing, with luxury brands using celebrity endorsements and elaborate bottles to justify higher costs
- Centeno recommends starting with affordable samples to discover personal preferences before investing in expensive bottles
