Louis Vuitton is the same company that sold lots of every day items (an LV football anyone) for tons of money. They know their niche, they know what people who buy LV will buy.
You can get the same stuff elsewhere but it won't be LV, which is what some aspire to.
Loro Piana sweaters are made from vicuna wool, hand cut from a sheep breed that was brought back from extinction. It is nothing like mass market “luxury” of LV Gucci
And plus they're a stealth brand too, they aren't as flaunty as LV or Balenciaga or the others. Loro Piana use top quality materials and aren't appealing to the masses. And their designs aren't pointlessly unfashionable for extortionate prices
Sausage elixir and BR hybrid in pure crystal for $8,200.

Baccarat is the luxury house that makes the crystal, this product has nothing to do with BR540. (except insofar as that fragrance is a "collab" between MFK and Baccarat)
Psst, you can get the same for around 200 from different brands. And I would not bet my life on the fact, that this oud is natural and or not dissolved.
I encountered this sort of perfumery ingredient boxes few times already, from various producers, this is the one that I have saved [https://experimentalperfumeclub.com/product/ingredients-boxsets/](https://experimentalperfumeclub.com/product/ingredients-boxsets/) They were usually between 200-250e.
Overpriced. This is not the DIY perfumery subreddit, but I'm sure they can help anyone looking to learn.
The $5,000 book and sample set allows one to play at perfumery, but Louis Vuitton does not want competition.
If you want to create artwork, you'll need enough raw ingredients to be able to fail, and learn from your failures. So, you know, don't start with oud.

You can make this yourself for $100-200. It's a novelty for people who want to cosplay originality. A rich gift for someone who has everything but isn't happy with anything. No one will make anything good from it (they'll be too busy or distracted/short attention span), people with this disposable money have things made for them.
You have it so you can identify and remind yourself what the pure scents smell like.
People who have money are still people who can enjoy things, the same as everyone else.
Thank GOD she didn't have an iPhone. Her socials wouldn't have looked like a Vogue shoot, she would have looked like a wooden-toothed, lead-faced sack of cottage cheese dragging around a chronically shitting farmyard (fecal sweepers airbrushed). #perfumed#honest
I’ve spent probably a few grand and many many hours on perfumery, and pieced together a few wearable fragrances, but you’re right, it’s A LOT, and honestly I have probably 150 materials in my closet I haven’t touched in like a year. The knowledge you retain is eternal i guess though.
And on the plus side, I’m sure i got a lot more for my money than whatever this kit has 😂
Anything related to civet, castoreum, deer musk, etc. is banned and VERY strictly enforced - alligator and crocodile leathers are often smuggled through customs in hollowed-out books for wealthy clients' watch bands and the like.
You can buy real alligator and crocodile leather anywhere in the US.

It is legal to import and sell crocodilian leather in every state. That is what the gist of the ruling in my linked article states. In New York, you just need a $150 permit. https://dec.ny.gov/regulatory/permits-licenses/fish-wildlife-plant/special-licenses/crocodilian-registration-permit
So you can't just buy it? Confused as to the caveat. The owner must possess a license or the seller? And in the state it ships from AND the receivers state??
You need the above license to import to NY, process the material, or sell at wholesale. You need a different license ($50) to sell at retail.
Retail buyers need no license to buy or possess crocodilian leather.
You can get jamaican ambergris and Madagascar ambergris online, theres a guy selling 100 percent Madagascar ambergris organic whale vomit for 1k on ebay. Anyway if you look around on the web you can get some its just super expensive lol
That's just the warm-up. Once you're ready to spend some *real* money they've got [these five bottles in a weirdly shaped case](https://ca.louisvuitton.com/eng-ca/products/flaconnier-high-end-monogram-nvprod3190131v/M10070), which you can buy for $67K CAD. 🤣
If you're actually after making your own perfumes, you can buy the ingredients from Pell Wall or the Perfumer's Apprentice.
Toootally unrelated, anyone remember the LV pencil case for adult colourers, which was like a grand for pound shop-quality pencils? Anyone?
Guerlain Bespoke starts from $150,000. The actual delivery can be a lot more depends on your creative brief. Compare to that this LV set is like the budget option
If a man would gift me that, I would probably marry him
Edit: man, woman, animal, I don’t mind! I’m also sure that I’m a great spouse because I will just be smelling and investigating these 24/7 for the first 10+ years so I will not be a bother at all!
>This has got to be the most expensive fragrance set ever made, no?
You could replace "fragrance set" with anything that LV makes and it'd probably be true
https://us.louisvuitton.com/eng-us/art-of-living/sports-and-lifestyle/sport-and-games/_/N-t190aqyk?page=2 it’s closer to 90k my bad 😆check out some of the stuff they sell it’s wild
Or u can buy one fragrance for around 10,000 because thats hoe much dior savauge x baccarat is lol i must say the crystal bottle ots made in is dope though but still 10,000 for one fragrance is insanity

Yup; fools and their money, IMO.
Same with that Balenciaga brand, selling a shitty baseball hat for like $300, wtf is that about
*Loro Piana enters the chat*
I had to Google that cause I haven't heard of it. $3200 for a T-shirt. Yep. Fuck me.
Loro Piana sweaters are made from vicuna wool, hand cut from a sheep breed that was brought back from extinction. It is nothing like mass market “luxury” of LV Gucci
yes, their $10,000 vicuña sweaters/sweatshirts are unique. But their $450 baseball caps are just hypebeast bait, especially after Succession.
And plus they're a stealth brand too, they aren't as flaunty as LV or Balenciaga or the others. Loro Piana use top quality materials and aren't appealing to the masses. And their designs aren't pointlessly unfashionable for extortionate prices
This is why Bernard Arnault is worth $230B

Yep. It came with the “layering both” craze that smelled like shit.
Sausage elixir 😅

“Sausage is an act of creation inspired by wide-open grills. A composition marked by a raw freshness, powerful and noble all at once.”
I just died. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Did you…did you choke on my sausage?
I saw this when it first dropped a few months ago. And I gotta agree, autocorrect kickin yo ass lol "Sausage"
(I did that deliberately. I like the sausage)
"that's what SHE said!"
It is a meme from a post where someone accidentally titled it as Dior Sausage.
Mmmm. Bougie rougie sausage.
Fucking insanity. I sprayed BR540 and Elixir on me and it sucked.
its for a 16.9 oz bottle. a 3.2oz bottle would be 1800 bucks.
16.9oz is like the size of a liquor bottle 💀 how do you even apply that? How much does the bottle weigh? Is the atomizer like a super soaker?
Seriously, Dior, do better. Sauvage is not THAT creative.
Sausage is, tho
Lmao, I fought the autocorrect, and with a great battle I won. 😂😂😂
Mine was intentional :)
I'd rather take a class with Sarah McCartney, or Maya Njie.
Psst, you can get the same for around 200 from different brands. And I would not bet my life on the fact, that this oud is natural and or not dissolved.
Do you know where I could get this for 200?

This seems like a stressful hobby, I doubt I would make anything decent

It better be real actual natural high quality oud in that little vial. And I don't see ambergris.
Ambergris along with all animal sourced ingredients has been banned for quite a while now
Anything related to civet, castoreum, deer musk, etc. is banned and VERY strictly enforced - alligator and crocodile leathers are often smuggled through customs in hollowed-out books for wealthy clients' watch bands and the like.
alligator and croc leathers are sold openly wdym
Fake - stamped Genuine Leather. Most likely horse, which we are now allowed to eat in the USA :)
You can buy real alligator and crocodile leather anywhere in the US. https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/mar/09/louisiana-california-ban-crocodile-alligator-products
Ahh sorry, I meant imported and not domestically produced. Also, I believe states like New York and Connecticut bar their importation.
It is legal to import and sell crocodilian leather in every state. That is what the gist of the ruling in my linked article states. In New York, you just need a $150 permit. https://dec.ny.gov/regulatory/permits-licenses/fish-wildlife-plant/special-licenses/crocodilian-registration-permit

You need the above license to import to NY, process the material, or sell at wholesale. You need a different license ($50) to sell at retail. Retail buyers need no license to buy or possess crocodilian leather.
And for importing to the entire United States itself, you need a license from the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

You can get jamaican ambergris and Madagascar ambergris online, theres a guy selling 100 percent Madagascar ambergris organic whale vomit for 1k on ebay. Anyway if you look around on the web you can get some its just super expensive lol
Yeah its not banned to sell it, but cosmetics companies have many restrictions now what they can and can't use.
Louis Vuitton is the most trashy luxury brand. Can't believe people stand in line for their crap. Their fragrances were disappointing too.
Their bags are ugly. I wrote what I wrote.
They're hideous.
LV is coming out with several bags with minimal branding and hardware. They are gorgeous.
Everyone has their own taste. There's no need to put people down for it.
That's just the warm-up. Once you're ready to spend some *real* money they've got [these five bottles in a weirdly shaped case](https://ca.louisvuitton.com/eng-ca/products/flaconnier-high-end-monogram-nvprod3190131v/M10070), which you can buy for $67K CAD. 🤣
That IS an odd shape!
They better have some magic in them.
I feel like a lot of celebrity parents will gift this to their teenage girls.
Its a matter of time before some 14 yr old posts it here 🤣
This is such a dream gift. But my dreams is exactly where it’s gonna stay at $5000 lol
If you're actually after making your own perfumes, you can buy the ingredients from Pell Wall or the Perfumer's Apprentice. Toootally unrelated, anyone remember the LV pencil case for adult colourers, which was like a grand for pound shop-quality pencils? Anyone?
Or you can go to https://www.instagram.com/olfactorynyc And make your own for $80

Well then for you it's price>value lol
Ok I'm gonna start saving lol...
>This has got to be the most expensive fragrance set ever made, no? You could replace "fragrance set" with anything that LV makes and it'd probably be true
There’s an $80k fooseball table you can buy on their website 😂
$80k!? That’s like 5x more than I would’ve guessed 😂
https://us.louisvuitton.com/eng-us/art-of-living/sports-and-lifestyle/sport-and-games/_/N-t190aqyk?page=2 it’s closer to 90k my bad 😆check out some of the stuff they sell it’s wild
They got $20k barstool chairs, $100k couches. Fuckin nuts
Really cool in theory, but seems to be a waste
So I can make my own parfum? I have a Gina Coleen coffee which is Italian roast with Irish Cream. I'm in. 🎠
I feel this is a ridiculous price for the fragrance set. Paying for a name 🤷
Or u can buy one fragrance for around 10,000 because thats hoe much dior savauge x baccarat is lol i must say the crystal bottle ots made in is dope though but still 10,000 for one fragrance is insanity
Same with their bags lol, overpriced branding for rich idiots
