Perfumes are poetic, natural and sometimes quite soothing. They are here since the earliest of civilizations and their production hinges on essential oils, compounds and solvents that are all derived from plant and animal sources. In the late 1800s, modern perfumes were introduced once man developed the capacity to synthesize compounds in lab. Manufacturers have come up with different scents over time according to need. This list talks about the top 10 most expensive perfumes in the world.

10. Chanel No. 5

Our first Stop, Chanel No. 5, one of the most popular perfumes out there and created by Ernest Beaux in 1921. Chanel No. 5 is the benchmark for all elite perfumes and comes in two concentrations; Eau de Toilette and the Eau de Parfum. This one will cost you $121.71 per ounce.

9. Shalini

Next up we have a ladies perfume that was created by Maurice Roucel. Aroma is made up of neroli, tuberose and tiare flower while the base fragrance is of musk and sandalwood. The smell gets enhanced over time from going from strong floral to flower in full bloom. This one will cost you $409.09 per ounce.

8. Annick Goutal Eau d’Hadrien

At number 8, we have a perfume that was launched in 1981 and able to be used both by men and women, also elevated to Fragrance Foundation’s Hall of Fame during FiFi. It has a citrus fragrance and costs $441.18 per ounce.

7. JAR Bolt of Lightning Perfume

How about the smell of air after a lightning strike? You want that, don’t you? That’s what Joel A. Rosenthal, a jeweler, hoped people would do when he designed this perfume. The fragrance lasts longer than expected and is packaged in hand cut bottles that have been specially designed. This perfume will cost you $765 per ounce.

6. Jean Patou Joy Perfume

At number 6, we have the perfume which was voted the Scent of the Century by Fragrance Foundation in FiFi awards of 2000 thus beating the Chanel No. 5. This one costs $800 per ounce and the fact that an ounce of this perfume requires 336 roses and 10,000 jasmine flowers justifies the high price. Wouldn’t you agree?

5. Caron Poivre

With a sophisticated smell that is strong and aggressive, Caron Poivre can be used by both genders. Available in a limited edition Baccarat bottle made of pristine crystal and top encrusted with white gold, this one is available for $1,000 per ounce.

4. Hermes 24 Faubourg Perfume

This designed for women perfume is at number 4 in our list and is on 4th for a reason; only a thousand bottles were made by Hermes. Shaped in the form of a square and made of St. Louis crystal, this one was also created by Maurice Roucel in 1995. The effect is long lasting and floral while being light to senses at the same time. This one will cost you $1,500 per ounce.

3. Clive Christian No. 1

It comes in a bottle made of lead crystal which has been handmade for the perfume. A small diamond, one third of a carat, is visible on the neck. The scarcity of its ingredients accounts for the high price of $2,150 per ounce.

2. Baccarat Les Larmes Sacrees de Thebes

Back in the late 1990s only a limited number of this aroma were made and the creator was Baccarat. The container was made with crystal and in the shape of a pyramid. It smells of ancient Middle East and will cost you $6,800 per ounce.

1. Clive Christian No. 1 Imperial Majesty Perfume

At the top of the list, ladies and gentlemen, we have Clive Christian No. 1 Imperial Majesty Perfume. Made of Baccarat crystal, with a white diamond worth five carats and a 18 carat solid gold dollar, only ten bottles were made of this perfume thus making it a highly prized collectible item. If you are willing to pay, this will cost you $12,721.89 per ounce.
