The difference between a Maison Francis Kurkdjian original and a TFW inspired-by fragrance is not quality. It is branding. Raw materials account for 3-8% of a designer fragrance's retail price. The remaining 92-97% covers celebrity endorsements, department store margins, packaging design, and brand licensing. The Fragrance World removes those costs and invests in the formulation itself.
