“SHUMUKH” is adorned by 3,571 diamonds, gold, silver, pearls and topaz. Seven key elements of Dubai showcased on 1.97 metre tall masterpiece, combining artistry, perfumery and jewellery. Multiple Guinness World Record holding perfume.
Shumukh holds two Guinness World Records. The perfume bottle is an art in itself – a remote-controlled Italian Murano crystal spray bottle covered in 3,571 diamonds in total. Topaz, pearls, 18-carat gold and pure silver are also included in the leather case.
Eau de Parfum (EDP) is the strongest type of perfume we sell. Eau de Parfum contains between 10-20% of perfume oil, and is a popular choice with both perfume brands and customers. Eau de Parfum will generally last around 8 hours. Eau de Toilette (EDT) is next, containing around 5-15% of perfume oil.
The high cost of Louis Vuitton perfume is reflective of the unique nature of the ingredients. In addition, most Louis Vuitton fragrances have shown excellent longevity, projection, and sillage, which only justifies the high price tag.
SHUMUKH, at US$1.295 million, is the world's most expensive perfume. A large bottle of perfume, adorned with thousands of diamonds and other precious gems and pearls, is on sale for US$1.295 million (AED 4.752 million).
What perfumes and fragrances last the longest? In general, eau de parfum scents are heavier (i.e. more concentrated) making them more likely to last all day. They're very different from the lighter, less-concentrated eau de toilette fragrances or body sprays.
Some countries that are famous for perfumery are: France, Bulgaria, Ecuador, India, Italy, Germany, Papua Guinea which is where most of the vanilla come from.
Both layering scents and wearing clothing the right way are essential to smelling good. Make sure your first layer of scented substance (e.g. lotion) doesn't mask your top layer (e.g. perfume). Applying moisture-heavy products after perfume can lock out the smell of the perfume or mix to create an oily mess.
The most apparent difference between cheap and expensive perfumes is that they smell differently. Higher-end perfumes are more costly because they have a more complex smell. Cheap perfumes have a similar smell to affordable cologne. They smell good, but nothing about their scent really stands out as special.
While all these attributes are important, the biggest difference between costly and more affordable scents is their layers. More often than not, a luxury perfume will be built with numerous fragrance layers composed of top, mid and base notes, where each note is an indicator of time-release.
Perfumes that last for more than a day usually have a distinct structure and a collection of specific ingredients. Dior Homme Parfum, Spicebomb Extreme, Sauvage Elixir, and Encre Noire a L'Extreme are four major fragrances that can last over 24 hours. So, take note of them when shopping for your next fragrance.
