This is perhaps the [most exclusive smelling stuff](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-corps-secret) on the planet. Imperial Majesty Perfume has produced 10 bottles of this fragrance and are only offering 5 bottles for sale. At $215,000USD, you get more than the odor-laden liquid inside; you get a [Baccarat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sauvage-elixir) crystal bottle that has five-carat white diamonds on it and is decorated with an 18 carat-gold collar.

**Implications** - You're probably paying more for the [fanciful bottle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collectors-copper-bottle) than the actual scent held inside of it. You would never throw out this bottle even after all of the perfume has been used up. At such a high price, you'd probably want to save smelling this good for only the most important occasions.
