Parfum V1 -- The ultimate scent
Blended by legendary English perfumer Arthur Burnham for fashion house Gianni Vive Sulman, the fragrance -- suitable for both men and women -- was inspired by the Phantom V1 Rolls-Royce. Just as only 173 of the latter were ever made, so Parfum V1 was, on its issue in 1998, limited to 173 bottles, each costing a staggering $84,000 (£47,500.)
While the cost the perfume's raw ingredients was, according to Burnham "mind-blowing" -- an ounce of pure rose essence costs more by weight than gold bullion -- the scent itself forms just a part of the overall package.
Parfum V1 is bottled within individually hand-crafted flacons made of ruby-crystal, platinum, 18-carat gold and diamonds, the latter designed by famed Parisian perfume-bottle maker Pierre Dinand.
Each bottle comes in its own exquisite marquetry case -- crafted by the same people who make interiors for Rolls Royce and Bentley -- while each marquetry case comes with its own unique diamond and ruby-encrusted key courtesy of jewelers Graff.
