Perfumes Similar to Buontalenti

The r/fragrance community is overwhelmingly frustrated with the perfume industry's pricing practices. Multiple users document substantial price hikes from major brands (Kilian, Tom Ford, Vilhelm, PDM, Amouage) occurring every 6-18 months, far exceeding inflation rates. The consensus is that large luxury conglomerates are engaging in price gouging while quality has declined, making designer fragrances increasingly difficult to justify when superior niche alternatives exist at lower price points.
