London fragrance house Czech & Speake has released a limited-edition tribute batch of its No.88 cologne honoring the late Ozzy Osbourne, who wore the scent for 30 years. The batch, announced on Wednesday (April 29), sold out almost immediately. Each bottle is priced at $370 and presented in a black sleeve with purple foil, along with a note from Sharon Osbourne. Twenty percent of sales goes to Cure Parkinson’s.
Sharon‘s note recalls the moment she introduced Osbourne to the fragrance: “I don’t know exactly how long Ozzy wore No.88, but I’m sure it was at least 30 years. As soon as he smelled it, he said to me, ‘I’d like to smell like this for the rest of my life!’ And he did!”
Czech & Speake said in a statement: “Ozzy Osbourne was the most loyal fan of No.88, our signature and most unique perfume, for over 30 years. At Czech & Speake, we are proud to be working with the Osbourne family to honour The Prince of Darkness with this limited tribute edition.” The company describes the scent as having “a fresh, woody top note of reviving bergamot, the richness and warmth of geranium, rose otto, cassie and exotic frangipani, combined with dry base notes of vetiver and sandalwood.”
Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary Black Sabbath frontman, died July 22, 2025, at 76. His death certificate listed the cause as a heart attack, with coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease also noted. A private funeral was held July 31, 2025, at the Osbourne family’s Buckinghamshire estate, with 110 attendees including Osbourne‘s Black Sabbath bandmates, Robert Trujillo (Metallica), Rob Zombie, Zakk Wylde, Marilyn Manson, and Corey Taylor (Slipknot). The day prior, thousands of fans gathered in Birmingham for a public tribute, joined by Sharon and their children Aimée, Kelly, and Jack.
Osbourne‘s final performance came at the “Back To The Beginning” charity concert in Birmingham — a reunion of the original Black Sabbath lineup with guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler, and drummer Bill Ward. He performed a five-song solo set with Wylde, Mike Inez, Adam Wakeman, and Tommy Clufetos, then joined his Sabbath bandmates for “War Pigs,” “Iron Man,” “N.I.B.,” and “Paranoid.” Seated on a throne throughout, he told the crowd: “You have no idea how I feel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
