The house OSCAR DE LA RENTA PARFUMS, along with PARFUMS STERN INC. DIST. NEW YORK, N.Y. 10017 and PARFUMS STERN BOULEVARD DU PARC NEUILLY FRANCE, added a code (GARANTIE) to the product to provide consumers with additional protection against imitations and counterfeits—a pioneering measure introduced way back in 1977. Distribution was handled by Safrep, a subsidiary of pharmaceutical giant SANOFI BEAUTE (Nina Ricci, VanCleef & Arpels and Stendhal), part of the Societe Nationale Elf Acquitaine Group.

“The new fragrance is a romantic gesture, the essence of many beloved flowers, enriched with rare spices and herbs,” writes OSCAR DE LA RENTA in the fragrance brochure, adding that a wonderful classic fragrance was born—a symbolic fragrance of perfumery.

A new classic fragrance celebrating the beauty of flowers.

The packaging and iconic glass bottle, a work of art, were designed by French sculptor Serge Mansau.

The heavy crystal bottle was made by French artisans at MSP, part of the Pochet du Courval group, using techniques dating back to 1633, under the HP trademark, a global leader in luxury perfume glass packaging.

The product was imported and distributed in Greece by HELLENICA COSMETICS S.A. (XEIMARAS, PARADEISOS AMAROUSIOU), packaged in France, and subsequently by PARLUX S.A.E., a company in its group. We sold it exclusively as authorized distributors.

PERFUMER: Jean-Louis Sieuzac, using raw materials from Roure Bertrand Dupont (1820), a giant of its era in Grasse, France.
