What do you get the gal who has everything this holiday season? Chances are she doesn't have a perfume that costs one million dollars.

DKNY has teamed up with famed jewelry designer Martin Katz to adorn one of their Gold Delicious fragrance bottles. This special one-of-a-kind edition of the company's top-selling scent boosts 14 karat yellow and white gold, 183 yellow sapphires, 2,700 white diamonds and a 2.43-carat yellow canary diamonds.

The blinged out apple-shaped bottle has already traveled to London, Mexico and Malaysia for reveals. It finally made it's way home to New York City last night where supermodel Chanel Iman showed off the pricey perfume at the DKNY store. Flanked by several bodyguards, Chanel kept the bottle under lock and key in a bullet and fire proof briefcase before showing it to the curious crowd of customers.

What does a million dollar perfume smell like? Nothing you can't find at your local fruit and flower stand--orange, rose, lily and of course, golden delicious apples.

Net Proceeds from the sale of the bottle will go to the Action Against Hunger charity. And if cracking the checkbook for a diamond encrusted fragrance bottle doesn't make you sweat, you might want to throw in a pack of designer cotton pads.

Here's a look at DKNY's million-dollar reveal.

Selling a perfume bottle encrusted with blood diamonds to raise money for charity sounds like a paradox if I ever heard one.

For $1M, I was hoping for some rare fragrance whose ingredients are hard to harvest and extract. What a disappointment. Can't improve the product, bling up the packaging.

$1 million for a perfume bottle? See, this kind of crap is why I say the world has gone mad. There are people dying of starvation, dehydration, and exposure all over the world, and these people have poured a million dollars INTO A PERFUME BOTTLE!! !! What is wrong with you people!? And what's worse is I guarantee that there not only are people out there who not only wish they could have this silly crap, but people who would actually pay that much for one. And people wonder why so many people want to raise taxes on "the rich." Because of pointless, useless, impractical baubles like this. I personally have never seen the preoccupation and obsession with "shiny things." Jewelry is nice, in moderation. But gold is too soft to be used for anything but. Yes, diamonds are ultra hard, and make for great abrasives and cutting tools, but their ridiculously exorbitant costs make them impractical in wide scale use. And then you have things like this, or rappers who spend a half million dollars on a diamond encrusted cross, then go and rap about killing people, raping women and doing drugs. I say tax the rich at an ever increasing rate commensurate with their level of income, until everyone is within just a few thousand dollars of each other.

A MILLION DOLLARS CAN FEED A LOT HUNGRY PEOPLE, SAVE A FEW FAMILIES FROM LOOSING HOMES, DONATE THE MONEY.

My thoughts exactly!

Ditto. Hedonistic consumption when people are living in tents is the height of self-indulgence. Remember: "The last shall be first, and the first shall be last."

14 karat gold...cheap cheap cheap...would have bought it if it was the real undiluted with silver 24karat gold...tsk tsk tsk

All I can say is "wow!" I wonder if you would just keep the fragrance as a collector piece, or would you melt the gold down, remove the diamonds and sapphires, and make one heck of a piece of jewelry! At least the proceeds go to a good cause. That is a bottle I will never see.

The most expensive perfumes actually cost approximately 37 cents an ounce to produce.
The bottle generally cost 5 to 10 times the cost of the perfume.
Anyone stupid enough to pay $1,000,000 for a bottle of perfume either inherited or stole the money.

A million bucks a bottle? My wife had me pick her up some stuff that cost 72 euro and I thought that was 60 euro too much
