If you think that Chanel No. 5 pricetag is high at Saks in New York City, you should see what it costs in Shanghai, according to results of a Cosmetify study on cosmetic prices around the world.

UK-based Cosmetify converted local prices to British pounds, where the current exchange rate is: 1 British pound equals $1.356.
