What kind of
ludicrous inflation is this?
If you take Channel No. 5's high average sales years (higher than any celebrity perfume), which are 10M bottles/year, and assume it's been selling that since its release (1922), that's not even a billion bottles over the course of nearly a century.
Those 500 million bottles of curiosity and 1 B bottle sales receipts you likely pulled from Wikipedia are completely ridiculous, and if you check the "source" links, they don't even mention those lies.
The biggest perfume seller (in terms of revenue) only makes ~$1.2B off of perfume per year, so even if you assume Britney Spears WAS that company and sold all of their bottles and did it every year, you're not going to end up with a billion bottles unless she's selling them for $10.
