A $108 perfume for dogs!

Italian fashion label Dolce & Gabbana is taking the canine perfume world by storm with Fefé, an “olfactory masterpiece” that will leave your pooch smelling like a million bucks.

Priced at an €99 ($108) per 100 ml, Fefé comes in a “sleek green lacquered glass bottle, adorned with a vibrant red metal cap and a precious 24-carat gold-plated paw.” Smell-wise, it features “the cocooning and warm notes of Ylang, the clean and enveloping touch of Musk, and the woody creamy undertones of Sandalwood.”

Inspired by D&G founder Domenico Dolce’s “unconditional love for his loyal dog Fefé,” the perfume is safe pet cosmetics certified, approved by vets, safety tested and “enjoyed by dogs.”
