Roja Dove is fast becoming the ultimate in men’s fragrances. Haute Couture for the nose retails for £20,000 ($40,000) and will incorporate a few consultations to shape your “unique olfactory fingerprint” - whatever that means!
By focusing on a small but exclusive clientele, Roja Dove aims to shape fragrances to the person using the world’s finest raw materials. To add to the luxury, fragrances are held in L’Ocean a beautiful Bacarrat crystal flacon designed by Georges Chevalier, one of the truly great exponents of the Art Deco movement.
Roja Dove signature fragrance might be Roja Dove No 3 which retails for a cool £1000 ($2000) per 250ml. This is flamboyantly described as “a burst of bergamot, underscored by lemon, lavender and a hint of chamomile.” Sounds almost good enough to eat!
For the ultimate fragrance you could try Jasmin de Grasse which retails for a very tasty £26,000 ($51,000). That works out at a mouth watering three times the price of Gold.
The Cabestan Winch Watch has got to be one the most unusual time pieces on the planet. It’s got a tasty price tag of £200,000 ($400,000) to boot.
The Cabestan is the result of a collaboration between Jean-François Ruchonnet and Vianney Halter.
They describe it as having:

The Tramontana is described as “half jet fighter, half grand prix car”. Retailing at £500,000 ($1,000,000) I would describe it as expensive!
However, for your money you get to boast that your Tramontana is one of only 12 on the planet. Although resembling a F1 car, you do have the option of a one or two seat configuration that will propel you to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds reaching a top speed of 220 mph.

Iconic cars from years gone by still hold great affection for many. The problem is that many original models are either too expensive for the man on the street or require a full time mechanic to keep them on the road.
The solution is to buy replica vehicles. Something like this beautiful C-Type Jaguar could be yours for a very reasonable £53,000 ($106,000). I say reasonable because the originals go for significant sums.
Beautifully crafted, hand made, aluminium body and replica chassis make the this a genuine doppelganger for Jaguar’s 1951 Le Mans winner, but with the advantage of modern brakes and suspension.
Any six cylinder XK series engine can be fitted but the most powerful (a 320bhp 4.2 litre) gives 140 mph top speed and 0-60 in 5.5 seconds. The replica C-Type comes with authentic single driver’s door or two door guise.
Nostalgia cars build these masterpieces from scratch and say:
“Witin every Nostalgia C Type is something unique and totally rewarding, forged from an understanding of what a true hand built sports car should be, combined with simple innovation and Jaguar inspired track and road success. As always every owner is encouraged to take an active part in the final specification of their Nostalgia C Type. We believe in building a life long relationship with both our customers and each of our cars.”
Retailing at £6,500 ($13,000) from Harrods, the SeaBob is not going to be within everybody’s reach. Which is a shame because this piece of kit really is a little gem.
The Seabob enables a smooth glide through water, hydrodynamic shape and a unique patented jet stream engine which offers rapid change of direction and speed.
