A perfume bottle boasting more than 3,500 diamonds has been unveiled in Dubai.

Called SHUMUKH, the perfume now holds the record for most diamonds set on a perfume bottle with 3,571.

The new unisex fragrance made by Spirit of Dubai Parfums (part of Nabeel Perfumes Group) is also described as the world’s most expensive at a cost of $1.295 million.

The bottle was designed by Asghar Adam Ali Ibrahim, and sits in a wheeled pedestal.

Once situated in its pedestal, it stands 1.97 m (6 ft 5.55 in) tall. Users can adjust the sprayer height and direction with a remote control.

Spirit of Dubai says SHUMUKH, which translates to 'deserving the highest', unites both jewellery and perfume to create a product that "tells the tale of Dubai through seven core design elements".

These are: pearl diving (Durra); falconry (Baz); Arabian horses (Abjar); roses (Narjesi); luxury (Haibah); Arabian hospitality (Diwan) and Dubai’s stature as a ‘city of the future’ (Aamal).

After the certificate presentation on 12 March, the record-breaking bottle was displayed in The Dubai Mall’s Fashion Avenue as part of its ART+ series.
