6. Chanel No. 5 Grand Extrait ($4,200 per fl. oz.)
Chanel is already a synonym for luxury around the world with some of the most well-known perfumes. To reach this level of brand awareness, Chanel has been spending a lot of money for advertisement. In fact, since 2004, they still hold the world’s most expensive commercial record. This commercial took up millions of dollars to promote Nicole Kidman’s Chanel No. 5 perfume.
With such advertising budget, it should come as no surprise that the product they are selling is one of the most expensive ones in the world. Created by Ernest Beaux in 1921, this one is the purest Original No.5 perfume which is valued at $4,200 per fluid ounce.
So, what does Nicole Kidman smells like (at least during the commercial take)?
“It features dynamic, crisp top notes of Lemon, Mandarin and Orange that reveal lightheartedness and transparency. The emblematic heart of the bouquet unfolds with Rose, Jasmine and a new fraction of Ylang Ylang, more modern than ever. Behind this floral whirlwind lies an unprecedented sense of liveliness: the vibrant echo of Cedar, accompanied by soft and cottony Musk notes.”
The regular edition of Chanel No. 5 perfume is available at stores for less than $100 per bottle.
