A special limited-edition item honoring late heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne sold out almost immediately after it was announced, showing that fans around the world are still eager to celebrate the rock icon’s legacy.

Luxury fragrance company Czech & Speake revealed on Wednesday that it would release a tribute edition of its No.88 cologne, the scent Ozzy famously wore for more than 30 years. The product quickly disappeared after fans rushed to place orders online, according to Blabbermouth.

The special edition came packaged in a black sleeve with purple foil details and included a personal message from Ozzy’s wife, Sharon Osbourne.

Each bottle cost $370, and the company said 20% of all sales would go to Cure Parkinson’s, a charity connected to Parkinson’s disease research. Ozzy died on July 22, 2025, at age 76 after suffering from heart disease and Parkinson’s-related health problems.

In her note included with the fragrance, Sharon shared a memory about Ozzy’s love for the scent.

“I don't know exactly how long Ozzy wore No.88, but I'm sure it was at least 30 years,” Sharon wrote. “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!”

The company described No.88 as its “signature and most unique perfume” and said Ozzy had remained loyal to the fragrance for decades.

According to Czech & Speake, the scent features woody and floral notes, including bergamot, geranium, rose otto, frangipani, vetiver and sandalwood. The company also said the tribute bottles included special fragrance artwork inspired by Ozzy himself.

The rapid sellout highlights the lasting influence of the singer, who became one of heavy metal music’s most recognizable stars during the 1970s as the frontman of Black Sabbath.

Often called the “Prince of Darkness,” Ozzy helped shape heavy metal music with albums such as Paranoid, Master of Reality, and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. After leaving Black Sabbath in 1979, he launched a successful solo career that included hit albums like Blizzard of Ozz, No More Tears and Patient Number 9.

Across his career, Ozzy sold more than 100 million albums through both his solo music and Black Sabbath releases. He was also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, first with Black Sabbath in 2006 and later as a solo artist in 2024.

The fragrance release arrived less than a year after Ozzy’s emotional final concert, Back To The Beginning, held in Birmingham, England. During the event, Ozzy reunited with original Black Sabbath members Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for one last performance.

Because of Parkinson’s disease, Ozzy performed while seated on a black throne during the concert. Even so, the moment became one of the most emotional live events in rock music that year.

Ozzy died just 17 days later at his Buckinghamshire home while surrounded by family members. His death led to tributes from fans and musicians around the world, including thousands of people who gathered in Birmingham to honor him before his private funeral service.

The funeral was held on July 31, 2025, on the grounds of the Osbourne family estate. Friends, family, and several major rock musicians attended the ceremony.

Even after his death, Ozzy’s popularity continues to grow. Exhibits about his life have drawn large crowds, documentaries about his final years have been released, and collectors continue searching for rare items connected to the singer.
