Fashion Obsession at Miromar Design Center on February 6 to Feature World's Most Expensive Perfume
20 January 2010
ESTERO, FL - "No. 1 - The World's Most Expensive Perfume" can trace it heritage back 135 years ago to The British Perfume House when Queen Victoria gave her crown to the perfumery as a symbol of utmost quality and excellence in 1872. Don't worry if you can't afford to purchase a one-ounce bottle for $2,350. Two bottles of the very precious "No 1" will be raffled at this year's Fashion Obsession at Miromar Design Center which takes place on February 6 from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Raffle tickets will be $20 each and include the opportunity to smell the fragrance. The raffle is for one bottle each of "No. 1 for Men" and "No. 1 for Women."
Prolific British Designer, Clive Christian, is the perfume's creator. He revived the perfumery in 1999 and was inspired by the rich history and high quality from the 1800s which then led to his creation of "No. 1 - The World's Most Expensive Perfume." In addition to a sumptuous range of perfumes, Clive Christian also designs custom-made furniture and interior architecture. A Clive Christian showroom, featuring handcrafted furnishings for kitchens, bedrooms, baths and offices is located in Suite 101 at Miromar Design Center.
"No 1" is recognized by the Guinness Book of Records as "The World's Most Expensive Perfume." Due to its rare and precious ingredients it can only be produced in very small quantities. Just one thousand bottles for men and only a thousand bottles for women are released to the world each year. "No 1" has perfumed the gardens of Sir Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball and it was chosen by Katie Holmes as her wedding perfume for her marriage to Tom Cruise.
The highlight of Fashion Obsession is the Runway Show with one-of-a-kind apparel and accessories created from fabrics, trims, tile, stone and wood found in the Miromar Design Center showrooms, plus collections from top designer stores at Miromar Outlets including DKNY, Michael Kors, Neiman Marcus Last Call Store, Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH, The Worth Collection and more. The Guest Commentator is HGTV "Design Star" finalist Jason Champion.
Fashion Obsession will also include a lecture on "The History of High Fashion 1850-1970" Jean Renoux from Art & Architecture in Sarasota, Hors d'oeuvres, a Cash Bar, a Silent Auction to bid on original fashions and other exciting items, Norman Love Confections samples, and Wine Tasting by PRP International.
