When the juice was approved and the bottle had been designed, the manufacturers were not able to fill the bottles, as the top of the Peretti bottle is curved at an angle. The manufacturer tried to convince Halston to bottle his fragrance in what the industry calls a "Chanel Flask". The name coming from the square linear bottle Chanel used for Number 5, when a non frilly bottle were considered and oddity. Halston refused to have his bottle change for the sake of the manufacturing problem and in the end invested $50,000 dollars of his own money to create an adapter that met with the angled neck of the bottle. It was a good move, the demand for the fragrance was so strong stores couldn't keep it in stock for almost a year. [Thank you Bryian Davis for this information]

  |  Halston was a present from a friend a long time ago. It was instant love at first wiff. The woody notes would eventually round out to something else by the end of the day and it was almost like putting on a new perfume - warm and inviting. I wore it for a number of years and moved on to another fragrance,18 April 2008 |
 | I love this one! I have even got compliments from people who dislike fragrance when wearing it. I own the perfume verison and it is dry woody and has a clean freshness. Even the next day your clothes still linger with Halston and still smell fresh. 23 March 2007 |

| I got this as a stocking stuffer just for love of the bottle. (And yes, I know better.) The mini bottle will eventually become a pendant on silk cording, I love it so much, but only after I use it all. As I can still smell the earthy refrain the next morning in my hair, God knows how long this will take. Yes, it is cloying at first, but put this on in the morning when you have a hot date after work. Wow. The 70's must have been so sexy! 15 January 2007 |
 |  This is one that I highly suggest you test before purchasing because it is very, very, strong. It is the most woody fragrance I have smelled and I love wood, but it took me a while to get used to it because of it's strength and heaviness. It does smell better the longer it is on, but please remember to sample first.09 November 2006 |
 | I have a definite love/hate relationship with this puppy. I mean, on one hand, it's a rich and woody scent that (IMHO) could be classified as unisex. (Also, along with Youth Dew and Tea Rose, it remains a perennial favorite for making sachets and drawer liners around my house.) But all that aside, the violet notes can -- and sometimes do -- just bowl me over. (WOW -- talk about cloying!) I still keep coming back to this one, and often buy it for my aunt (she loves it even more). Still, the first 30 minutes after application always make me want to put a clothespin on my nose. Weird. 01 November 2006 |

|  I absolutely ADORE the bottle...but the fragrance...oh so sorry to all you Halston lovers out there...there is something in it that makes me so ill! Even the thought of the smell brings back a gnawing nausea in the pit of my stomach... Guess I'm a "cinnamony spicy type of gal..."16 September 2006 |
