The ten most expensive perfumes in the world are as follows:

1. DKNY Golden Delicious Million Dollar Fragrance Bottle – $1Million. This was designed by collaboration between designer DKNY and jewellery designer Martin Katz.

This fragrance for women is created by a combination of ingredients including Tahitian vanilla, ylang-ylang, rosa centafolis, Italian cinnamon, jasmine, orris root, and rose oil.
