The Most Luxurious Fragrances to Invest In
Housed in the finest flacons, luxury fragrances create a special olfactive experience. Blending rare and exquisite notes into colourful juices, they are transportive, memory-evoking, and mood-boosting pieces of wearable art. It’s probably why the luxury perfume market (according to Matter Of Form) is projected to generate a revenue of $47.3bn in 2024 and is expected to be worth $52.8bn by 2028.
With that in mind, you may be searching for your next perfume investment, and you’ve come to the right place. Discover nine of the most opulent fragrances at Harrods, from the exceptional fragrance houses of Creed, Floraïku Paris, Atkinsons, Maison Francis Kurkdjian and more – expect scent marvels (almost) too spectacular to wear, whatever your perfume personality.
Atkinsons, Oud Save The King and Queen
Atkinsons, a prestigious name in luxury perfumery, presents a love story between two enchanting fragrances: Oud Save the King and Oud Save the Queen. Inspired by the Crown Prince who inspired it, Oud Save the King is opulent with a blend of rich oud, creamy suede and cardamom. Save the Queen offers a lighter but nonetheless elegant contrast, a delicate mix of jasmine, orange blossom lighter touch of the signature oud. Whether you lean more to one royal or the other, both are a testament to Atkinsons' craftmanship, marrying its longstanding heritage with a modern approach.
Creed, Queen of Silk
If you love the finer things in life, whether that’s fragrance or fashion, then you’ll need to invest in Creed’s Queen of Silk. This eau de parfum is liquid silk in a bottle, taking inspiration from the fine fabric’s travels around the world. The Queen of Silk weaves together a rich tapestry of delicate florals and opulent notes: first, osmanthus and magnolia will arrest your attention before settling into an intense blend of vanilla, myrrh and musk further enhanced by middles notes of patchouli and magnolia. The result? A timeless and modern scent housed in a beautiful, eye-catching, purple flacon.
Floraïku Paris, Sand And Skin
Sit back, relax and feel the sand on your skin. Floraïku Paris’ Sand and Skin eau de parfum captures an olfactory portrait of a scene by the beach, embodying a moment of serenity. A delicate and fresh aroma of vetiver envelops your senses before taking a sweet turn through Madagascar vanilla absolute. As the sun-kissed composition lingers, heart notes of benzoin essence and base notes of ylang-ylang settle beautifully on your skin. Floraïku Paris’ iconic bottle design echoes this island beach storyline, where a hazy shell motif takes centre stage. Nostalgic, warm and playful, this scent will instantly transport you to a sunny destination where you can leave your worries behind.
Initio, Harrods Oud for Greatness Neo
Initio’s Harrods Oud for Greatness Neo is as dark and dreamy as it looks. Building on the success of Initio’s signature Oud for Greatness fragrance, this Harrods-exclusive iteration is even more opulent as it seeks to tap into spiritual energies – most notably through the magic of oud. Here we see a natural oud wood essence merge with lavender orpur and bergamot, creating a multi-layered and long-lasting composition that is truly one of a kind. If you’re aiming to take your fragrance collection to new heights, choose this bold and thrilling scent.
Robert Piguet, Knightsbridge
Step into sophistication with Robert Piguet’s Knightsbridge. Inspired by the charm of London's most iconic neighbourhood and made exclusively for Harrods for over ten years, Knightsbridge envelops you in a head-turning cloud of spices, woods, leather and tonka. Top notes of rose essence and nutmeg add a creamy quality to every spritz, while a heart of sandalwood and orris give it a sumptuous air. This opulent fragrance has cemented itself as one of the most quintessential luxury fragrances and judging by the sleek, green and gold flacon alone, it’s not hard to see why.
Parfums de Marly, Haltane
Parfums de Marly’s Haltane bears “a mysteriously evocative name that evokes the grass of the racetrack and a nobility between restraint and ardor,” explains the French perfume house. Artistic director Julien Sprecher expresses his avant-garde vision in the soft and sweet, dark and light composition of Haltane. Experience a blend of fresh and herbal top notes twisted with saffron and praline, adding a touch of sweetness before grounding itself on a base of agarwood. Put simply, Haltane is a feast for the senses. This classic yet contemporary scent is inspired by private soirées at Château de Marly, and its matte green bottle certainly matches the dress code.
The Harmonist, Hypnotizing Fire
Passion, allure, seduction – the Harmonist’s Hypnotizing Fire is the kind of fragrance that draws its wearer (and those around you) in at first spritz. Renowned French master perfumer Guillame Flavigny is the brilliant nose behind this fire-inspired scent, using high perfume concentrations to produce a heady blend. Hypnotizing Fire combines the sweetness of Madagascan vanilla with the intensity of patchouli and the sensuality of musk and Bulgarian rose, creating a scent that is both powerful and soothing. Presented in a striking and elegant bottle, Hypnotizing Fire’s mesmerising blend is the closest thing to casting a spell on someone.
Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Reflets d’ambre
The shimmering Reflets d’ambre from Maison Francis Kurkdjian is just the thing to mark a special occasion – take it from us, the perfume was created to celebrate our 175th anniversary. Perfumer and artistic director Francis Kurkdjian places sensual amber at the heart of this fragrance, citing it as a “mythical accord”. Experience a transformative blend of pink pepper punctuated by airy accents of grandiflorum jasmine. This sophisticated fragrance is the ultimate accessory to an evening out.
