But can you get rich idiots to pay exorbitant prices for it?

Hmm… marketing? I wonder how this guy did it. There’s obviously nothing special about his perfume other than it being an exclusive scent. Perhaps if I charge $10,000 a bottle and make the packaging really cool. I’m sure A few influencers would be willing to get in on the scam
