AWARD: (Best Perfume 1985)

Foundation Fragrance AWARD: FRAGRANCE OF THE YEAR 1987

Box in mineral malachite green

Apple-shaped bottle, fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, amethyst-colored, opaque and dark, like Paracelsus's real poisons

Bullet-shaped cap

Three years of testing were needed to create the fragrance

Eight hundred different formulas before the final result was perfected

Thirty-two Poison fragrances have been released so far, but the first is different

An exciting, sensual, addictive fragrance, an epic scent

An imperial, magical fragrance

A fragrance, a wild black panther

The poisoned apple has nuclear staying power

A beloved fragrance bomb of the 1980s

Use only a small amount at a time; as I learned in my toxicology classes, it is the dose alone that makes something not a poison

THE PRODUCT IS UNTOUCHED

THE PRODUCT HAS NOT BEEN USED

THE BOX IS SEALED WITH CELLOPHANE

AUTHENTIC AND RARE

As you will see in the photo section, there are no photos of the inside of the box or the bottle, because it would not be right to do so and deprive the buyer-collector of the joy and pleasure of being the first to open a product after many decades.
