What value does $400,000 equate to in your mind? Is it a mansion or a fancy car? The most expensive perfume today, Imperial Majesty is worth $215,000 per bottle, and the bottle that contains it costs $175,000 – a price that includes home delivery of a Bentley. Only 10 bottles of the fragrance will be available worldwide – five at Harrods in London and five at BergdorfGoodman in New York.
“ImperialMajesty” is a limited edition of CliveChristian’s “CliveChristian No. 1” fragrance. Clive Christian No.1 is the most expensive perfume in the Guinness Book of World Records. The designer of the fragrance, Clive Christian, was awarded a Royal OBE by the Queen for his achievements in the luxury industry.
ImperialMajesty is priced at $215,000 per bottle because the perfume contains many rare ingredients, a significant portion of which are worth more than gold. The perfume is refined from 170 flower buds, including white sandalwood, Indian jasmine, and German rose, and each bottle takes six months to make. Whether for men or women, the synthesis is complex and produces a delicate and long-lasting fragrance.
The “container” of ImperialMajesty is also very expensive, with a bottle set with five carats of diamonds and a mouthpiece made of gold, so the bottle itself costs $1750 million.
Such an expensive “container” comes from a crystal family: Baccarat, which started making crystal products in 1817 in the village of Baccarat in the Lorraine region of France, and soon produced its first crystal perfume bottles. Early Baccarat perfume bottles were able to fetch quite high prices at auctions. To this day, every time a perfume brand or fashion house releases a higher value limited edition, they order crystal perfume bottles from Baccarat.
