Via Core 77, via the Onion, of course.
Fashion house and perfumer Chanel, famed for its iconic, $300-an-ounce No. 5 scent, announced that it has created a cost-efficient fragrance for the Third World, one specifically designed for the rigors of dry, dusty, less glamorous environments in the Southern Hemisphere.

That’s thoughtful of them. I definitely think this is more for the PR than anything else. I doubt that perfume is the #1 necessity in third world countries.

I concur. I dont think perfume is as important to 3rd world countries then clean disease water, food, medicine. But it’s great that they had the idea to do what they did.

I’m sure the 3rd world contries thank Chanel for that. Maybe if their lucky someone will actually get to try it.

I love reading the Onion! This is so classic.
Now you see why other nations can’t stand us.
