AWARD: (Best Perfume 1985)

Foundation Fragrance AWARD: FRAGRANCE OF THE YEAR 1987

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

It took three years of testing 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 imperial, magical fragrance

A fragrance, a wild black panther
