The price tag
One luxury bottle a week, what it costs per 100ml, and what its twins charge instead.
Every week, one expensive bottle and one honest sum. This week: Tom Ford Cherry Smoke. At retail it costs about $810 per 100ml. It has 19 known twins. Here is what the gap looks like.

What you are paying for
Tom Ford prices Cherry Smoke at the top of the market. Part of that is the materials and the work of the perfumer ; part is the name, the bottle and the boutique. A twin can copy the smell. It can't copy the rest — and whether that matters is entirely up to you.
