Perfume helps you stand out from the crowd. The right train can highlight your special features. Or maybe, on the contrary, you always want something, be it tenderness, status or self-confidence, then experiment with scents in search of your own. People are able to give an amount equal to the cost of half a palace in order to be able to inhale their favorite scent, wear it on themselves and bring this work of art to the world.
It should immediately be noted that the price may vary due to differences in classifications:
- Perfume (Parfum) is always more expensive and persistent, always concentrated. They are actively fragrant for more than 7 hours and, as a rule, have a long and pronounced trail;
- Eau de parfum (Eau De Parfum) - less persistent, lasts on the skin for an average of 4 hours, often made on an oil base;
- Eau de Toilette(Eau De Toilette) - does not have sillage, the aroma sits close to the body, is detected only close to the wearer, and is not particularly long lasting.
Perfume is not created in a day or a month; it is an expensive, long and labor-intensive process. It takes a long time to come up with a name and slogan. The brand often turns to famous masters in the perfume industry. They set a goal for the perfumer, describe their vision of the future scent under the cap of the bottle, and the perfumer gets to work: he experiments for a long time, selects components, and develops a formula. And the work of such a master is always expensive, which subsequently also affects the price tag of the product. In addition to perfumers, there are designers, glassblowers and other people who create containers for perfume bottles. Niche, expensive perfumes use exclusively natural ingredients, which protects against irritation and other skin reactions. A high-quality perfume cannot be cheap; even based on the cost, it comes out to a decent amount, measured in hundreds of thousands of dollars. Cheap perfumes created for the mass market often have primitive notes that are unlikely to be revealed, the trail of such perfumes is an extremely rare phenomenon, and of course you should not expect longevity from such a product.

“Golden Delicious” from DKNY in an exclusive bottle is definitely the most expensive perfume in the world. In fact, it is not the perfume itself that is expensive, but the bottle in which it is poured. The Golden Delicious fragrance itself is not particularly unique, its components - orange blossom, Golden Delicious apples, Mirabelle plum, floral "heart" notes - lily, orchid, lily of the valley and rose, based on musk, sandalwood and teak wood are not the rarest or most expensive in the world. But for some reason this perfume was given a special honor, and it was placed in a bottle worth 1 million dollars!
The bottle was entrusted to be made by jeweler Martin Katz. The bottle has the shape of a golden apple, is made of white and yellow gold, decorated with rare yellow sapphires, white and pink diamonds, turquoise tourmaline, ruby, Cabochon sapphire and other wonderful precious stones. In total, 2909 stones were used and 1500 hours of labor were spent in its manufacture!
The bottle will first travel around the world, be presented to the cream of society and only then sold. The proceeds are planned to be spent on charity.

How to choose the most expensive perfume?
The most expensive (60 million rubles per bottle) are collection series that produce only a few bottles. These are more like works of art. By buying them, they seem to declare their wealth. They can only be purchased at auctions or charity events.
Such a high cost always includes a luxurious perfume container, since no liquid can cost so much big money. They usually use gold and diamonds for decoration, which greatly increase the value of the perfume itself.
You can buy the most expensive perfumes in branded stores, which will provide a license document. French and Italian perfumes are in particular demand.
Why should you be careful when buying the most expensive perfumes?
The market is flooded with fakes, so even if the price tag is five figures, this does not mean that the buyer will actually receive a real Dior or Chanel. The main thing to look at is the bottle itself. In the branded series it has a special high-tech design. However, they have learned to fake it too. Therefore, the best selection criterion will be the reputation of the store.
