It took four (4) years (1970–1974) to create the fragrance. Two special formulas were used in its production: 1) “Halston woody note,” a woody note created by International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF) especially for Halston, and 2) a rare French marigold extract.
It was said that hundreds of essential oils were used in producing the fragrance. What is certain is that many essential oil absolutes were used, at a corresponding cost—those were different times.
This fragrance by PARFUMS HALSTON was extremely expensive during the first ten years after its release, due to the quality of its raw materials.
A wonderful green, spicy, woody, fantastic fragrance.
An exquisite, unique, marvelous fragrance that takes your breath away.
One spray on your coat will last all winter; this fragrance is truly exceptional and rare.
It opens with fruits, herbs, and green notes, along with a rare marigold extract that lends a wonderful, soft top note. Then come rich floral notes of jasmine, carnation, and rose, followed by the sensuality of vetiver, woods, and ambergris.

ÁÁÁ EDITION
This product has absolutely nothing to do with products bearing the same box, appearance, and name. We are talking about completely different products in terms of reliability and quality. As the saying goes, “You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.” Fifteen different companies took over the production and distribution of the fragrance after 1985—you can imagine what happened!!!.
