On a recent trip to Sephora, 11-year-old Lincoln Rivera asked his mother for a US$125 (approximately RM586) atomiser of Yves Saint Laurent eau de parfum.

He also covets scents from Jean Paul Gaultier, which he learned about from the animated film Megamind, and Paco Rabanne (some of its cologne bottles are shaped like robots).
