Prince Faisal Bin Fahad Bin Abdullah Al Saud with HRH Arfaq's V1 perfume

His Royal Highness Prince Faisal Bin Fahad Bin Abdullah Al Saud bought the V1 perfume – designed with the utmost care and flair by HRH Arfaq – for a jaw-dropping $232,450! Crazy money, but worth it if you have it! The Prince and his sizeable entourage were hosted in one of the luxurious private lounges in London’s Harrods. The lounge was decorated in a bespoke royal purple, with the Prince’s silver leaf royal crest adorning the walls. His Highness is pictured above holding Arfaq’s exquisite perfume, which became famous not only for its phenomenal price tag (officially the most expensive perfume ever made) but also its feverish popularity amongst royalty and celebrities. This is the first glimpse I’ve had of the actual perfume bottle and it reminds me of the Genii’s lamp in Aladdin! Quite appropriate really, given that something magic waits within...
