£2400 Aftershave... ;)

Thought I might share this with you! This is a bottle of Bugatti "Prestige" (only 400 ever made) I managed to come by (not for the price on the tag thankfully). I'd never heard of it before and there doesn't seem to be any genuine photos of it on the internet anywhere (the sites that actually sell this use the cg rendered model on bugatti's site).

It weighs an absolute ton! The bottle is made from crystal by quite a famous sculpter. The bottle is held in place by magnets.

The box is made from Carbon fibre.

It's going up in the loft for 50 years and fingers crossed if I'm still alive, it will be coming up again on antiques roadshow 2059

Anyway the official link is here:

I bet it smells like arse.

I'd want head every time I splashed some on for that money.

Out of interest how much did that set you back?

How much did you pay?

Also, it looks ridiculous!

Pretty cool still.

Greenlizard0 · 4 Feb 2009 at 15:02

Wow, 50 years?

Man, there is no point whatsoever in keeping my Hugo Boss "limited edition" hip flask is there lol.

Some things like perfume bottles I can never quite understand the value of.

oh man, now i KNOW some people have too much money!

suarve · 4 Feb 2009 at 15:04

Anyone who paid anything even close to that is a total idiot.

It's plated in 24ct Gold so I can kind of see why it costs a bit more than the usualy bottle of aftershave but obviously as with most bugatti stuff, it's priced up at about 10 times what it costs to make!

The aftershave itself smells quite sweet - definitely not something I'd wear but then saying that - it would probably suit someone a bit older!

I'd be utterly petrified to actually find out what it smells like tbh. I bet it loses about £1k value the moment you er.. squirt.

slambo69 · 4 Feb 2009 at 15:05

Just out of interest, whats your adress?

this was on Top gear a year or two ago.

something like £20 a spray

Good grief. For that amount of cash I'd expect a pre-pulled supermodel in the box.

You'd pay £2,400 for sloppy seconds? Ew.

If they have the money and that's what they want then why does that make them an idiot?

I thought they were selling the Veyron at less than what it cost to make? Or am I thinking of another car?
