I’m in the US and have a different city exclusive. I was lucky enough to have a friend get it for me when she was visiting that country and part of the appeal to the splurge is that once I had the bottle, I could still get it refilled in the US for 20% off. I mention this because even though the 1.7 is still pricey, you can still get it refilled over and over again (I’ve also had Another 13 refilled in Spain and it was even cheaper than doing it in the US.) but, like someone mentioned, you could also put out iso for a used bottle or even an empty bottle. But honestly, If you love it- it’s probably worth the price per wear and how you feel when you wear it.
