This is the first women’s fragrance launched by PARFUMS HALSTON (ROND-POINT CHAMPS-ELYSEES 75008 PARIS MADE IN FRANCE).

FOUNDATION FRAGRANCE AWARD: Fragrance of the Year 1976 – Women’s Prestige: HALSTON – HALSTON FRAGRANCES.

The heavy glass bottle was designed by Elsa Peretti in collaboration with Halston, resulting in an iconic bottle. The upper half is lacquered white, with a teardrop-shaped point that evokes a phallus.

The product was distributed in Greece by SPEL S.A. Perfumery (SPYROS LITOS – PHARMACIST), 7 PAL. PATRON GERMANOU ST. – KLAFTHMONOS SQ. – ATHENS, and we had exclusive sales rights as authorized distributors.

PERFUMER: Bernard Chant, using materials from International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF).

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 PARFUMS HALSTON fragrance was extremely expensive during its first ten years on the market, due to the quality of its ingredients.

A wonderfully green, spicy, woody, fantastic fragrance.

An exquisite, unique, magnificent fragrance that takes your breath away.

One spray on your coat will last all winter; this fragrance is something truly exceptional and rare.

At first, you get fruit, herbs, and green notes, with a rare marigold extract adding a wonderful, soft top note. Then come rich florals of jasmine, carnation, and rose, followed by the sensuality of vetiver, woods, and ambergris.

This product has absolutely nothing to do with products having 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 production and distribution of the fragrance after 1985—you can imagine what happened!!!.
