Luxury fragrance doesn’t have to cost a fortune (that’s what Dopeplus is all about!), but sometimes it costs more than you could ever imagine. These prices can become so ludacris, there’s even a DKNY perfume that costs one million dollars per bottle. Yes, you read that right. One million dollars.
That’s just one example we found while researching the most expensive perfumes in the world, where we also discovered that on many occasions the price has more to do with the bottle (we’re talking diamonds here) rather than the perfume itself. Let’s take a peek at these perfume wonders only few can afford.
DKNY Golden Delicious:
DKNY isn’t known to be the most exclusive brand when it comes to perfumes– except for their one million dollar bottle. Literally. In this case, the main appeal of the perfume is the container it comes in. The bottle is embellished with 2,909 precious stones, including a Brazilian 1.65-carat Turquoise tourmaline; 15 1.28 carat pink diamonds from Australia, a 3.07-carat oval-cut ruby; 4 rose-cut diamonds, and a 4.03-carat pear shaped rose-cut diamond.
Baccarat Les Larmes Sacrees de Thebes:
This one is all about the perfume, and the flowers! Each bottle of Les Larmes Sacrees de Thebes contains oils from 10,600 jasmine flowers and 28 dozen roses. Yes, that’s 336 roses! To make it even more exclusive, the brand made it only as a limited edition so it’s really hard to find one. Besides the exotic and unique formula created by Christine Nagel, the nose behind classics like Narciso Rodriguez for Her and Miss Dior Chérie, the fragrance is also known for its iconic bottle shaped like a pyramid. A 0.25 Oz bottle goes for a whopping $1,700.
Roja Haute Luxe by Roja Dave:
This is an exquisite perfume that chooses the most decadent ingredients while creating all its lavish scents. Haute Luxe comes with rich content of rose, ylang-ylang, jasmine, and earthy contents of ginger, clove, cinnamon, raising, ambergris, patchouli, and more spices. Every year around 500 limited edition bottles are released for sale and storm off the shelves in practically no time.
Gardenia Les Exclusifs de Chanel:
We couldn’t have a roundup of the most exclusive perfumes in the world without including one by Chanel! As its name hints at, this is a very exclusif perfume made entirely by hand in honor of mademoiselle Chanel’s favorite flower and brand emblem, the camelia. One of the most special details about this very concentrated parfum is the way they made the big 30.4 Oz glass bottle, using an artisanal technique called baudruchage which consists of placing a thin layer over the neck of the bottle, holding it in place with 2 rows of pearl-cotton thread and It is then closed with a black wax stamp. The limited-edition Grand Flacon is available for $17,000.
Clive Christian No.1 Imperial Majesty:
In 2006, British designer and perfumer Clive Christian decided to make only 10 bottles of a very special and exclusive perfume for his very best customers. The perfume which is considered to be his favorite is 500ml of absolute perfume oil and it comes in a beautiful Baccarat glass bottle with an 18-carat gold collar, decorated with a five-carat white diamond.
Exclusive, rare, precious, of course, there is a perfume from every budget, even for the gazillionaires of the world! But always remember you don’t need gold, diamonds, and the rarest flowers on the planet to make a delicious perfume that is absolutely perfect for YOU.
