Clive Christian No. 1::


Only ten bottles of the most expensive perfume in the world were to be sold when production began last year, and the costly perfume was made to order in either a women’s or men’s fragrance. This perfume is sold by Clive Christian, who acquired an established name in perfumes, Crown Perfumery, in 1999. They designed the exhorbitant scent called “Clive Christian No. 1 from what they say are the rarest, finest ingredients around. The flacon that the perfume comes in was crafted by the French glass specialist Baccarat Crystal. The bottle is encrusted with a five carat diamond that would make this perfume more attractive than the person wearing it. The expensive perfume bottle also has an 18-carat gold collar around the bottle’s top.

Clive Christian describes the scent like so:

  • Top notes of bergamot, lime, Sicilian mandarin, cardamom, nutmeg, and thyme.
  • Heart notes of lily of the valley, rose, jasmine, ylang ylang, and heliotrope.
  • Base notes of cedarwood, sandalwood, vetiver, ambery woods, and vanilla.


The reported price tag on the most expensive perfume bottle ever made? This luxurious work of art is a mere €170,000!
