The mention of Versace is enough to get the idea of the product that could be mentioned which without doubt belongs to the upper crust. And Donatella Versace is never one to skimp on excess. Known for famously stating “more is more,” the designer has just created what appears to be one of the world’s most luxury perfumes. Despite the threat of a worldwide recession Donatella’s new fragrance will retail at $2,100.

The 3.4-oz. bottle of the perfume is covered with hand-stitched white leather and it comes in a leather box with silver and gold details. Both the sheath and the box bear metal plates bear the words “Gianni Versace Couture”, in tribute to Donatella’s brother.

Here comes eau de parfum, the latest collection of scented perfume from the house of Bond No 9. Now you must be thinking what led to its creation? Bryant Park is the inspiration behind this fashion-forward prduct. The perfume comes in a gorgeously designed bottle festooned with 5280 Swarovski crystals. Available in three fragrances, the spicy rose-patchouli creation with a tinge of pink pepper added for dissension is my personal choice.

Swarovski Stars Bryant Park perfume is obtainable from SAKS for $650.
