What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTate McRae has launched her first perfume, TATE 01, and it's on sale at Ulta Beauty starting at thirty dollars, E! News reports.

  2. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorStarting at. I always read those two words first, because they're doing the heavy lifting.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorUlta's own listing has the thirty-dollar bottle at point three three ounces. The one-ounce bottle is fifty-eight dollars.

  4. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo the thirty-dollar one is a sample with a receipt. Nobody puts that in the headline.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe press release says sizes run up to a hundred milliliters, at eighty-two dollars on the brand's own website.

  6. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorAnd Parade says every Ulta reviewer would recommend it. A hundred percent, average four and a half stars.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA hundred percent recommend, and only four and a half stars.

  8. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHank, when it all goes, I've a spot saved for you. Bunker's a bit damp, but it smells of nothing.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorKind of you. I've made my own arrangements. McRae calls fragrance the final invisible layer of her routine.

  10. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorInvisible. So that's the thirty-dollar bottle, then. Point three three ounces of it.
