Shalimar help to DATE please

The outer box is the white/black criss cross design. I am not familiar with the stickers on the box and bottom of the bottle. I was told that the box dates the bottle from around 1961-83. Is there any way to narrow down the time this particular batch was made? Thanks for any help you can give me.

I have one of these from the early 80's. Same purple box but the sticker on my base is transparent with gold writing. Also the juice in my bottle looks a lot paler than yours which suggests to me that your bottle is way earlier than 1980. Also the label on the front of mine is slightly different to yours.

Edit: Just found this thread:

My guess is more likely it is from 60's - but I am no expert !

As far as I know the outer cardboard package was different in the 60s. At least I have some which are patterned differently.
Anyway it is an old flacon from the 80s _backwards_ to say so.
