Branded as the world’s most expensive perfume, Clive Christian has preserved the tradition of fine perfumery that date from the times of Queen Victoria. It’s hard not to feel royal while wearing a scent that’s encased in a bottle that sports the only official reproduction of the British monarch’s crown and a five-carat diamond encrusted on a gold band.
Clive Christian has achieved beauty for all the senses: the natural aromas of cardamom and white jasmine are wrapped in crystal Baccarat flacons, crowned with intricate crystal stoppers; simply the best to preserve the integrity of the perfume. As if this seduction was not enough, The Royal College of Music composed the “Sound of Perfume,” a melodic interpretation of the iconic Clive Christian’s perfumes.
The decadent Clive Christian fragrances are available for both men and women, and come beautifully packaged in stylish and luxurious cases. Choose between fabulous floral scents in pure perfume form or opt for one of the perfume sprays
This designer-turned-perfumer has released a range of perfumes for both him and her that use natural ingredients from around the world, to create unique, memorable scents. Christian made it into the Guinness World Records, by creating the world’s most expensive perfume. An ounce of No. 1 costs a whopping $2,355. To up his own ante, Christian released in 2005 the No.1 Imperial Majesty, 10-bottle limited edition, available for $205,000. The icing on this cake is this fragrance can be delivered to your doorstep in a Bentley.
Let’s not be put off by the prices that Sir Elton John and Katie Holmes paid for their respective perfumes.

Choose between fabulous floral scents in pure perfume form or opt for one of the perfume sprays that preserve the luxury without being unaffordable; such as 1872 or X for an average price of $300 per bottle.
Christian’s perfumes have been paired with the likes of Ulysse Nardin’s watches and Aston Martin’s cars in the portrayal of a life of luxury and glamour. Likewise, Christian must be very pleased with himself for keeping such eco-friendly company.
