Simple, it is apparently a luxury product, which means that it is used to show off, the smell doesn't matter nearly as much as the packaging/label.

It having a high pricetag simply makes it desirable to rich people, the cost is sort of seen as a seal of quallity and more importantly means that normal people can't afford it so it is exclusive.
