Bottle:

The perfume was housed in a bottle designed in 1989 by Thierry Lecoule and was based on a copy of Gianni Versace's personal inkwell (calamaio).

Baccarat made the glass case, but not the perfume bottle that fits inside it. Like the planet earth, the case leans slightly to one side of its central axis, the perfume bottle being wedged at its center. The lid is hinged in such a way that the case can only be closed gently. The model in crystal was made in a limited edition of only 90 copies. 

The V'E perfume bottle and case won several prizes including the Grand Prix de Creation de la Ville de Paris in 1989. 

The V'E Versace parfum in Calamaio cube, housed in Lucite, retailed for $200 (also available in 15ml Baccarat crystal, a limited edition of 200 per/yr., $3,000) was available at Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman in 1992.
