The International Gemological Institute (IGI) is the certification partner of choice for Shumukh, the world’s most expensive bottle of scent, a luxurious unisex perfume worth $1.30 million.
Shumukh is the only perfume to hold two Guinness World Record titles, the “Most diamonds set on a perfume bottle,” and the “Tallest remote-controlled fragrance spray product.” Shumukh means “deserving the highest” in Arabic and is an artefact of the Spirit of Dubai Parfums by Nabeel. Shumukh celebrates Dubai’s cultural heritage and its persona in one monumental piece of art.
Shumukh combines the disciplines of art, perfumery and jewellery. Each of Shumukh’s design features have been intricately crafted in gold and silver and ornamented with IGI-certified diamonds and precious stones. Shumukh is set with 3,571 sparkling VVS diamonds totalling 38.55 carats, topaz, pearls, 2.48 kilos of 18-karat gold and 5.90 kilos of pure silver. Even its manual is encrusted with 456 diamonds and 103 grams of 18-karat gold, topped off with a selection of blue topaz, pearls, howlite and enamel detailing.
