Perfume houses can be remarkably un financially savvy: "intimately for women" was terminated by Beckham and sold for $80. The few remaining bottles trade at $300. The blogs are full of people seeking clones. It was itself a copy /homage to Dior poison.

Probably there is a Veblen goods reason it made sense (sorry) to terminate. I have little doubt it would still sell.

It's brother product for men lives on. Posh stopped, David continued.

(I very much doubt it's price reflected input costs, or it was terminated for low ROI)

Tangential uninformed musings to your opinions, I can hardly imagine inifinitely wise grandma to be the target demographic for perfumes, but as the chief purse-holder for R&D and even marketing campaigns?
Very barbie. My economics are crap, if it is Veblen goods then the short term profits of selling at $80 destroy Victoria Beckham's long term goal of selling at $200 same volume. But Grannie does know her dollars and scents.
