Bottle:
Romeo Gigli's perfume was housed in a bottle inspired by an eighteenth-century Venetian-glass paperweight. Presented in an inverted cone shaped bottle with a yellow base and tapering black neck top, which pierces a white swirl designed by Romeo Gigli and Serge Mansau in 1988. The bottle was manufactured in France by Saint Gobain Desjonqueres. The design won the 1990 Perfume Academy's 'Caterina de Medici' award and a year later won the American Fragrance Foundation (FiFi) Award.
