Designers and vendors such as Calvin Klein, Coach, D&B, Gucci, Jockey, etc. set retail prices. They also set sales and promotions. Notice they are excluded from the 20%+ off store coupons?
Fragrances at fine retailers are set by vendors too. When their stock "expires" the vendor resells them to those discounters you see in the mall kiosks.
