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

Sphere-shaped cap

Three years of testing were needed to create the fragrance

Eight hundred different formulas before the final result was perfected
