Another, more rarer extrait bottle is made up of clear glass which is crackled throughout, it is the same one that was also used for some bottles of Le Jade extrait. This bottle was used in the 1920s
Pavots D'Argent was discontinued sometime in the 1950s.
It was reformulated by Alberto Morillas and relaunched in 2005 under the name "Pavot D'Argent". However, I believe it was discontinued in 2008.
So what does it smell like? It is classified as a floral oriental fragrance for women.
