After recently enlisted Brad Pitt as the first ever male face of Chanel to give the brand a sexy revamp, now the iconic perfume house takes things even further by unveiling a rare collectible fragrance.
Chanel has announced that the bottle of perfume will be in “its rarest, most collectible form”.
Named the Les Grands Extraits, the edition trumps the previous $2,150, 7.5-ounce version as the most expensive fragrance offered by them.
The formula is the exact same as the sweet smelling stuff you can snap up at duty free for around $100, but the bottle is designed to be something quite special.
Chanel launches its most expensive perfume at $3,800 and most of that goes on the bottle
Crafted in a mould with the help of a specialized glassmaker and then placed in a “hand-assembled, artisan-crafted case”, it aims to be something of a collectible.
It was revealed back in May that Brad Pitt was going to front Chanel’s new campaign as part of a megabucks deal and Andrea d’Avack, a spokesman for Chanel, said: “To keep a legend fresh, you always have to change its point of view. It is the first time we’ve had a man speaking about a women’s fragrance.
“We think very much that the perfume is a seduction between a man, a woman and the perfume. No.5 is our leading fragrance, and we are willing to make the investment to keep it on that level.”
Brad Pitt follows in the footsteps of actresses including Marilyn Monroe, Nicole Kidman, Audrey Tautou and Catherine Deneuve.
Kirsten Dunst has branded her onscreen kiss with Brad Pitt as “disgusting”.
Kirsten Dunst and Brad Pitt starred together in 1994’s Interview with the Vampire when the actress was just 11, but she doesn’t have particularly fond memories of their encounter.
“It was just a peck,” Kirsten Dunst tells Bullett Magazine.

“I remember Brad would watch lots of Real World episodes,” she says of his affinity for the MTV reality series.
“He had this long hair. He was just a hippie-ish cool dude. Everyone at the time was like, <<You’re so lucky you kissed Brad Pitt>>, but I thought it was disgusting.
“I didn’t kiss anyone else until I was 16, I think. I was a late bloomer.”
Kirsten Dunst, 30, transformed her look for the accompanying digitalized, avant-garde magazine shoot, trading her blonde locks into silver strands.
The National Enquirer claims Angelina Jolie recently “told an astonished Brad that her former flame, Irish actor Colin Farrell, put him to shame between the sheets.”
“In a dig designed to push Brad Pitt’s buttons, Angelina Jolie insulted his manhood, and the devastated actor has gone on a drunken rampage!” declares the National Enquirer, an outlet whose reporting on the couple tends to alternate between despicable and nonsensical.
Her “sex confession” allegedly sent Brad Pitt into a “boozy tailspin,” allege sources for the Enquirer.
“Brad caught Angie red-handed, admitting that she thinks he’s a so-so lover,” says one insider for the facts-challenged tabloid.
The National Enquirer “source” continues: “Ever since then, he’s been on a drunken rampage – consuming copious amounts of his favorite beer and red wine.”
According to the magazine, Brad Pitt was “even spotted staggering up to a Taco Bell drive-thru window” at 1 a.m. last month, with an alleged “eyewitness” claiming the actor “looked drunk, and after he realized the fast-food joint was closed, he stumbled off into the early morning darkness.”

In any case, the tabloid insists that a booze-addled Brad Pitt has been on an extended bender ever since he allegedly first heard Angelina Jolie complaining about her sex life during a phone call with ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton.
“Angie told Billy Bob that her love life with Brad had gone cold, and she missed the wild, passionate sex she’d had with Colin,” says the Enquirer source.
The Enquirer goes on to explain how an enraged, eavesdropping Brad Pitt confronted Angelina Jolie and forced her to admit details of her supposed sex life with Colin Farrell, and that she still “lusts” for him, resulting in Pitt’s extended “drunken rage.”
The tabloid also claims that Brad Pitt is allegedly outraged over everything from Angelina Jolie’s eighth-grade “hookup” to her non-existent “plans to reunite” with Billy Bob Thornton.
With golden shoulder length hair, a sophisticated black suit and aviator sunglasses, Knox Jolie-Pitt appears to be the spitting image of his famous father, Brad Pitt.
Knox Jolie-Pitt, 4, and his parents, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, and twin sister, Vivienne, spent the day at the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles.
The boy walked with his dad – also in black – looking like his mini-me while mum Angelina Jolie held his twin Vivienne’s hand behind.
The foursome were rather dressed up for a trip down the educational halls of evolution and culture, but obviously Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt hoped to impart a love of learning onto their kids on Valentine’s Day.

Former boxer Mike Tyson has revealed how he found his wife Robin Givens in bed with Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt – and how he “was mad as hell” at the discovery.
Mike Tyson, 46, said although he was divorcing actress Robin Givens he used to go round her home daily for sex before visiting his lawyer and denouncing her “as a pig” who stole his money.
Mike Tyson described as a “love triangle with Pitt” the Hangover star told show In Depth With Graham Bensinger he was “mad as hell”, before adding: “You should have saw his face when he saw me.”
Robin Givens and Mike Tyson had a famously short-lived marriage in the 1980s that was marked by violence.
When the pair married in 1988 Mike Tyson was estimated to be worth $50 million.
Robin Givens filed for divorce three months later alleging spousal abuse and was reported to have received a divorce settlement of over $10 million.
A Harvard graduate, many believed Robin Givens had set out to take Mike Tyson’s money. She had previously dated Eddie Murphy and Brad Pitt.
The former boxer told Graham Bensinger: “I was doing a divorce but every day, before I would go to my lawyer’s office to say, <<She’s a pig and stealing>>, I would go to her house to have sex with her.”

Mike Tyson, who admitted in 2010 he agreed to play a caricature of himself in The Hangover to fund his drug habit, recently revealed that he was high on cocaine while shooting the cameo in the hit film, which became the highest-grossing R-rated comedy in the United States.
The heavyweight champion, who was a fan of director Todd Phillips’ Old School, told Yahoo! Sports: “I was a mess. I was overweight. I was a pig, high on cocaine.”
Speaking on In Depth With Graham Bensinger, Mike Tyson reiterated he only signed on to the project to “supply his drug habit”, according to producers.
In the 2009 movie, the notorious boxer threatens to harm the Wolfpack unless they return his stolen tiger, but in real life the cast inspired him to change his lifestyle.
“They had to know I was messed up. I couldn’t talk. I had the cocaine talk,” Mike Tyson said of Ed Helms, Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, and Justin Bartha.
“So those guys are just beautiful people. They had my back, and I appreciate that and stuff, then they asked me to come back [in The Hangover 2].”
Back in 2007, the boxer was convicted of possession of cocaine and a DUI and the year prior, Mike Tyson checked into rehab after a similar arrest.
Mike Tyson, who’s now happily married to third wife Lakiha Spencer, then stumbled upon the Head of the Class star returning home with Brad Pitt.
“I was mad as hell. I was going to…you should have saw his face when he saw me,” Mike Tyson told the interviewer.
The former boxer has since moved on from the scandal.
He took to his Twitter account on Saturday to remind fans about his one-man show, Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth, will soon hit the road for a 10-week, 36-city national tour.
“My #OneManShow is hitting the road on a NATIONAL TOUR starting February 2013,” Mike Tyson wrote to his 2.9 million followers.
The two-hour, tell-all show was directed by Spike Lee and originally ran for 11 days in August on Broadway at the Longacre Theater.
It tackles his marriages, divorces, eight children, rape conviction, anger issues, and the piece of ear he bit off of Evander Holyfield.
Mike Tyson will not, however, reprise his outlandish character a third time in the final installment of the booze-soaked franchise The Hangover.
The Hangover Part III, due in theaters on May 24, 2013, is rumored to focus on Phil and Stu (Cooper and Helms) breaking Alan (Galifianakis) out of a mental institution.
But the boxer told TMZthis week: “I have no idea what’s going on, I’m not in this one.”
Angelina Jolie’s daughter Vivienne was cast as the young Princess Aurora in her upcoming live action film Maleficent.
And now two of Angelina Jolie’s six children – Pax and Zahara – will also make their big-screen debuts in the same movie.
“They have smaller parts,” a source told Us Weekly, adding the 8-year-old boy and 7-year-old girl will not have speaking roles.
“Shiloh was supposed to be in it, too, but she was bored and not in the mood during the day her part was supposed to happen, so she ended up not being in the film.”
The tomboyish 6-year-old did, however, have a role as her father Brad Pitt’s daughter in his film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button back in 2008.
Angelina Jolie, 37, stars as the title role in Disney’s reimagining of the classic fairy tale Sleeping Beauty told from the evil doer’s point of view.
The focus of the film centres on the events that hardened Maleficent’s heart, leading her to curse the Princess Aurora played by Elle Fanning.
Back in August, The Sun reported that once 4-year-old Vivienne was cast as the younger version of 14-year-old Elle Fanning, the rest of the kids wanted to be included too.
“Ange thought it would be a fun experience for her and Viv to share, and Viv is a natural,” said the source.
“The other kids are now nagging Ange and Brad to land them roles.”

Both of the twins, Vivienne and Knox, were spotted visiting their famous mother on the set back in June and at one point Angelina Jolie held one of them in front of the soundstage’s green screen.
The next day, Pax and Shiloh were seen walking around the Buckinghamshire set with a minder.
Wearing her horned headdress, complete with prosthetic cheekbones and a long brown dress and matching cape, the dark-haired star looked frightening as the villain.
Speaking about her new film Angelina Jolie told EW: “It’s not anti-princess, but it’s the first time they’re looking at this epic woman.
“I hope in the end you see a woman who is capable of being many things, and just because she protects herself and is aggressive, it doesn’t mean she can’t have other [warmer] qualities.”
She said: “It sounds really crazy to say that there will be something that’s good for young girls in this, because it sounds like you’re saying they should be a villain. [Maleficent] is actually a great person. But she’s not perfect. She’s far from perfect.
“In general, it’s a very good message to say, <<Let’s look at something from the other side>>. But then also, what our challenge will be – and the script writer [The Lion King and Alice in Wonderland’s Linda Woolverton] has already cracked it – is not to simplify it, not to just reverse the story but tell a bigger story that doesn’t point the finger [at Princess Aurora] either.”
Juno Temple, Sam Riley, and Miranda Richardson also appear in the film directed by Robert Stromberg, which is set for release on March 14, 2014.
Meanwhile, according to the New York Daily News, the Jolie-Pitt clan has already gotten into the autumn spirit as recent aerial shots of the A-list couple’s Los Feliz home revealed a backyard table packed with Halloween pumpkins.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, 48, also have an 11-year-old son named Maddox.
The days of actors getting multi-million dollar salaries are over, says Brad Pitt during a recent interview.
“Yeah, that thing died,” Brad Pitt laughed when asked if it was possible for stars to still command a price tag upwards of $10 million per movie.
“That arithmetic doesn’t really work right now… that deal’s not flying these days.”
Brad Pitt has been a familiar fixture on lists detailing the highest paid actors.
Brad Pitt says the days of actors getting multi-million dollar salaries are over
The most recent Forbes list for 2012 was topped by Tom Cruise, with an estimated yearly salary of $75 million.
Meanwhile Brad Pitt is thought to have earned $25 million.
As for what state Hollywood is in, in general, Brad Pitt concedes: “It’s a really interesting time.
“A lot of the studios have been challenged because of the economic downturn as well so they’ve been betting on bigger, more tent pole kinds of things.
“At the same time that opens up a vacuum for really interesting new film makers to come in.”
So-called “tent pole” films take the biggest budgets but their profits are expected to prop up other movies for the major studios.
Brad Pitt’s acting work over the past few years has ranged from the Oscar nominated Moneyball, to the children’s animation Happy Feet 2 and most recently the crime thriller Killing Them Softly.
“You take the roles for the roles and you’ve just got to balance economics like everyone does,” Brad Pitt says.
There are still ways actors can rake in millions from a movie though, if they agree a smaller upfront salary in exchange for a cut of the eventual profits.
That model of course only works if the movie in question is a big hit at the box office.
Jude Law says that he’s never demanded a $20 million pay cheque: “No, not really, that’s never been my approach.”
Currently on screen in Anna Karenina, Jude Law concedes he has made salary demands in the past, but not in the way you may assume.
“There are certain films the only way to make them go away was just keep raising the fee, and eventually they go <<Oh, we can’t pay you that much!>> and then they go away.”
TV presenter Ellen DeGeneres has made a $1million profit by selling her Malibu beach house just six months after buying it from Brad Pitt.
Ellen DeGeneres bought the luxury four-bedroom home from Brad Pitt for $12 million and has sold it to cosmestics mogul Victoria Jackson for $13 million.
The oceanside property has sweeping coastal views of the Pacific Ocean and Point Mugu State Park, a lap pool and a modern kitchen.

Brad Pitt bought himself the 4,088 square-foot home on the Encinal Bluffs shortly after his divorce from Jennifer Aniston.
But despite being made up of two houses it was still not big enough for his rapidly expanding family with fiancée Angelina Jolie.
This is not the only change for Ellen DeGeneres.
Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi recently downsized from a palatial $49 million Beverly Hills compound to a more manageable $18 million 8500sq ft in the exclusive Trousdale Estates area of the city.
Their new home was designed by famed architect Hal Levitt and built in 1958 on an acre sized plot, which includes a swimming pool.
It features glass walls, soaring ceilings, several fireplaces, a library, four bedrooms and six bathrooms, along with views across Los Angeles.
The couple, who this week celebrate their fourth wedding anniversary, sold their previous home to American Idol host Ryan Seacrest.
That property was 2.87 acres, a whole city block, and boasted a main house comprising of 9,200 square foot, three adjacent guest-homes, and a selection of sprawling wildlife ponds.
Brad Pitt has revealed that despite the recent announcement of his engagement to Angelina Jolie they have not set a date yet.
While it was widely rumored Brad Pitt planned to wed Angelina Jolie this year, at the photocall for new film Killing Them Softly he was quick to dispel talk.
“We truly have no date. I’m still hoping we’ll figure out our marriage equality in the States before then,” Brad Pitt, 48, said referring to the debate in the US over same sex marriage.
And he hinted that part of the reason may lay in Angelina Jolie’s filming commitments.
When Brad Pitt was asked about the whereabouts of Angelina Jolie, he explained she was away preparing for a new film role.

Angelina Jolie was expected to wow the red carpet last night at the gala screening of Brad Pitt’s film Killing Them Softly, which premieres today.
Brad Pitt looked the epitome of cool as he showed up in a youthful look, which consisted of light summer suit, which he matched with a white T-shirt and white pumps.
He showed off his longer hair style, which has now grown to just above his shoulders, while he wore his facial hair in a goatee style.
Brad Pitt drew the crowds as he showed up in his effortless style while hordes of fans tried to get a glimpse of the actor.
The actor happily posed for photographs as he arrived in his chauffeur driven car while he wore sunglasses on his face.
Brad Pitt smiled during the photo call, before he was spotted taking a break as he chatted to friends.
It marked a rare break for Brad Pitt from his brood, as he stepped out minus partner Angelina Jolie and their six children.
But he obviously wanted to get to work promoting the Andrew Dominick film, in which he will play a contract killer alongside stars including Scoot McNairy, Ray Liotta, Vince Curatola, and Ben Mendelson.
Although Brad Pitt said he wasn’t troubled by violence in movies.
The actor was speaking at a press conference after the world premiere screening of the film and said that violence is an accepted part of the gangster world and noted that violence goes hand in hand with crime.
Brad Pitt said he would have little problem with his children watching violent movies when they’re older.
“I would find playing a racist more unsettling than playing someone who shoots someone in the face,” he declared.
“We live in such a violent world,” Brad Pitt said and then asked people who love hamburgers to think about the killing involved in creating that burger.
“I don’t see a world without violence,” he added.
The film Killing Them Softly suggests that murder in a gangland setting is acceptable. One of the movie’s key moments has Brad Pitt and a Mob lawyer, played by Richard Jenkins, discussing the execution of some robbers as a simple business transaction.
Indeed one line in the film is sure to become much quoted. Brad Pitt’s character says to Richard Jenkins: “America’s not a country, it’s just a business.”
Killing Them Softly was having its gala screening in Cannes tonight.
It uses the gangster genre, and humor, to make larger points, not always successfully, about the state of the economy.
