SOFT POWER SAYING IT QUIETLY

The American Express Centurion card. Known as the “black card”, it is available only to those who charge more than $250,000 a year. Paying for dinner with this is sure to make an impression.

Clive Christian No 1 for Men goes for £416 for 30ml at Fortnum & Mason. What does it smell like? As one perfume website put it, “like money, baby.” A whiff impresses.

Nothing could be more subtle than a flash of a nice cufflink. The £1,500 white gold examples from William & Son ooze understatement and class.

A drink to seal the deal is a subtle way to show just how discerning you are. A snifter from a bottle of Macallan 1945 Speyside single malt costs you upwards of £600.
