The Most Expensive Perfume In The World

by admin on May 6, 2010


How much would you pay to indulge yourself in the most exclusive perfume in the world? Would you pay thousands for a bottle of the lavish scent?

It seems that people are willing to shell out at least $2,350 for a bottle of Clive Christian’s No. 1 Pure Perfume. That price tag will get you 30 ml of the coveted scent along with a handmade lead-crystal bottle that boasts the words: “No. 1-The World’s Most Expensive Perfume.” Also included in your purchase is a single natural white brilliant cut diamond that is set in the bottle’s golden collar. If this seems a little steep for your pocket book, then you can settle for the $865 perfume spray.

So, what makes this scent so pricey? Partly, the price tag is due to the celebrity interest in the label. Katie Holmes reportedly wore the scent when she wed Tom Cruise. Victoria Beckham purchased a bottle for her husband, David; she also purchased a bottle for Elton John. It seems the scent has even made it to the royal palace as England’s Queen Elizabeth II had a special bottle in the shape of a crown made for her birthday.

Another factor behind the hefty sum is the fact that the scent changes yearly. This happens because the perfume is made of the rarest ingredients, so when those ingredients are no longer available they have to change the recipe. Reportedly, the idea behind the line is to spare no cost in order to obtain the best scent regardless of whether or not the ingredients will be around in the future.

Are you feeling a little generous? Then go for the “Imperial Majesty” bottle of Clive Christian’s No. 1 Pure Perfume. This is considered the single most expensive bottle of No. 1 as it comes in a Baccarat crystal bottle that sports a 5-carat solitaire diamond in its golden collar. This gold featured bottle is valued at around £130,000 per ounce, and according to the world guinness book of records is the most expensive perfume in the world. According to sources, of the 10 that have been made, five have made it to Clive Christian’s personal collection.You can find out more about the perfume at Clive.com.
