Creator: Clive Christian, British perfumer

Why? Clive Christian, who held the Guinness Book of World Record for the most expensive perfume called 'Clive Christian No 1,' created a  limited edition perfume called No 1 Imperial Majesty a couple of years back. Only 10 bottles of this one-of-a-kind perfume have been released worldwide, of which 7 were sold off.

This Clive Christian creation comes in an 18-carat gold collared bottle topped with a 5-carat cut white diamond that takes the shape of a crown. What is more, the hefty price tag includes delivery in a Bentley-no we are not kidding!

In keeping with the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth, Christian has created a special perfume for the Queen. Well, the Queen is not the only royalty to have a perfume dedicated to her by Clive Christian. Prior to this, Christian has created a special fragrance for William and Kate Middleton.

If you can’t imagine splurging $215,000 on the perfume, you can opt for the more affordable $1,300 for 30 ml of No 1 Imperial Jubilee which is apparently more concentrated and intense version of No 1 Imperial Majesty.
