When you see some poor skinny starving people in a 3rd world country you usually don't think perfume. I think it represents a country where people are well off enough to even consider a perfume. Expensive labels are usually purchased by people with good taste. Why bother with something that smells like batroom air freshner. It's better to just wear a deodorant. A bottle of good perfume lasts you a couple of years. You're wearing it every day. Over the period of two years, it can't possibly matter if you spend $30 on a bottle of cheap crap or $90 on something decent.
If you can afford it at all, you can afford an expensive one.
I absolutely love scents and perfumes. I have a few bottles from Christian Dior and Prada even though I have well below average income. I save on rent, food, clothes but not on perfume, shoes and lingere.

Contrary to moronic beliefs, designer suits (or clothing) does not last longer. You can look for quality with a nice price tag. You show up in Armani to a job interview, they might feel they can't afford to hire you with such high tastes. They might also consider you not very intelligent for spending so much money on something as unworthwhile as a brand name. JC Penny's has some great suits at reasonable prices. There are also places that sell nothing but suits and they offer decent quality for a decent price as well. A regular person can normally tell quality when they see it. Buying a non brand name suit that has a great cut and is quality material is what makes a statement. Not many real people out there are impressed by name brands. Name brands quit impressing people over the age of 23, normally. Name brands are a teenage obsession, not an adult one. Adults are more intelligent and thinking. They want their money to go further. It makes a huge statement about someone's maturity level to those who are looking to hire and those who you will have meetings with. I've heard many older men tease the younger ones for being so stupid as spending a fortune on one suit and only being able to afford just one then. Or having no good accessories to go with it. Older men stand around bragging about how much they saved! How they found a sale and how little they paid for something. They like to see a large savings account that shows them how intelligent they really are! Think about your dad, he's older and been in the real world work place. Did you like to run out and spend tons of money to show off with, or did he like to save and spend less. IT's a great example of most men out there who are over the age of 25.

I have Chanel No. 5.
I love perfume. I don't think it matters about the lifestyle, I think it's just that people who like something are willing to spend a bit more money that would normally to get it (or just how much they would always spend i guess).

People who like the scent and have enough money to splurge a little. I don't think you can categorize people who own these perfumes into a specific type.
Even some people who don't have much money at all often like to spend their money on these types of frivolous things, so it doesn't necessarily mean that you're rich.
I had a coworker once who would buy 2 or 3 Starbucks frappuchinos every day, but then she didn't have enough money to feed her kids properly and just made them crap like macaroni and cheese... every day.
p.s. You're writing a presentation, not a representation.

First off..perfume is a very personable item to anyone. If someone happens to find a perfume that they like its probably because it mixes well with there pheremones. While it may set others off. Designer labels is what people know and what they see and what they hear about. But if you go into a perfume shop Im sure they will introduce to perfumes/colognes that you may have never heard about.

It also kind of depends on what chanel perfume you are refering to. If its no.5 then the classic, upper east new yorker image. But really Chanel's for the everyday, confident woman and thats what Coco would have thought too.

The people are called "Aspirational" they buy based on what they hope to become. Pick up a book called "Why We Buy".
No one rushes to the Chanel counter because they are looking for a new scent and the same people wouldn't be caught dead wearing Britney Spear even if it smelled good.
p.s. Coco Chanel was considered to be a Nazi sympathizer

I think when you get older, you just get what you like. Right now, believe it or not, I love Haiku from Avon! As a matter of fact, my rep gave me a code I can use online to get it shipped right to me for only $3 (for the shipping, not the Haiku! If you want the code, it's SHP3, or if you spend $30 or more shipping is free if you have code REP30)
