How we price a set
Every item in a set is priced at its full size's price per ml on Amazon today, from Amazon.com or the brand, and the items are added up. Sizes are the listing's; where a listing gives none, they come from Amazon's own per-ounce price for the set, and the set says so. Only sets whose every item we can price this way are here, which is why the list is short.
