The world's most expensive perfume presented for sale in London

The smell of success is going on sale at Harrods as you'll have to be super rich to afford their latest perfume.
To mark the opening of the Salon de Parfum boutique at the London department store, the British perfumer Clive Christian has created a special edition of his No1 perfume with an eye-watering price tag of £143,000.
A standard bottle of the fragrance costs £450 and is marketed as 'the world's most expensive perfume'. But the one-of-a-kind new edition genuinely deserves this description thanks to the way it has been packaged.

Called the No1 Passant Guardant, it uses the perfume house's signature crystal bottle and then ups the ante by covering it in hand-crafted, 24 carat gold lattice-work. 
As with all the bottles, the top is a crown shape as the design was created in 1872 and paid homage to Queen Victoria. 
But in this case, the gold crown is embedded with flawless white diamonds. In total, there are 2,000 individually set diamonds on the bottle.
Meanwhile, the lion motif on the front is made up of two yellow diamonds, with a rare pink diamond marking out the lion's tongue. 
On his website, Clive Christian, OBE, said: 'I was inspired to create an iconic bottle as precious as a crown jewel to mark this special event.'

Mia Collins, head of beauty at Harrods told Luxury Daily that they wanted to 'create a serene and intimate environment for customers to take their time enjoying and learning more about scent'.
She added: 'The consumer experience is at the heart of all innovation and retail developments at Harrods. Within Salon de Parfums, we actively encourage our clients to sit down, enjoy and take their time discovering the best of what fragrance has to offer, whether this be an informal consultation or an in depth interview with a view to creating your very own, unique signature scent. The experience will be unparalleled.'


لندن: خوشبو کو ہر کوئی پسند کرتا ہے اور اسی وجہ سے دنیا بھر میں نئے نئے پرفیوم سامنے آتے رہتے ہیں مگر حال ہی میں برطانیہ میں ایک ایسا پرفیوم متعارف کروایا گیا ہے جسے خریدنا ہر کسی کے بس کی بات نہیں۔
برطانوی میڈیا کے مطابق لندن کے ہیروڈ اسٹور میں فروخت کے لیے پیش کیے جانے والے ’’سمبل آف سکسیس‘‘ یعنی کامیابی کی مہک نامی اس پرفیوم کی قیمت ایک لاکھ 53 لاکھ برطانوی پاؤنڈ ہے اور اس کی ایک عام بوتل ساڑھے چار سو پاؤنڈ مالیت کی ہے اب اس پرفیوم کا ایک نیا ایڈیشن منفرد شکل میں کرسٹل کی بوتل میں فروخت کے لیے پیش کیا جارہا ہے جس پر ہاتھ سے 24 قیرط سونے کا کام کیا گیا ہے۔
اس بوتل کے اوپر 1872 میں تیار کیے جانیوالا تاج لگا ہے اور یہ برطانوی ملکہ وکٹوریہ کو پیش کیا گیا تھا تاہم اب اس میں بے داغ سفید ہیرے بھی بڑی تعداد میں نصب کیے گئے ہیں اس کے علاوہ بوتل کے سامنے 2 زرد ہیرے اور ایک نایاب گلابی ہیر ابھی بوتل کی شان بڑھا رہا ہے۔
