a scent to die for? or, a perfume that made heads roll...

Here's a stocking stuffer:

A 25ml bottle of M.A. Sillage de la Reine perfume will sell for 350 euros (£236; $463), the palace says.

Ha, pocket change!

It must be excellent perfume. I believe that the requirement in those days was that a perfume should mask the body odor of a man a month unwashed? Probably knocks you out quicker than Polonium

I wonder if it's as concentrated. Beware of manufacturers who ascribe "Authentic" to their brands. For example, if we were really to drink an "authentic" brew from an original Sam Adam's recipe, well, let me tell you it would definitely get our attention. Kind of like that original perfume.

At $463 a pop, I'd have to think that after spending that on a perfume, you'd tell yourself it smelled good no matter what.
