![]() ![]() In 2014, she told Vanity Fair: "He said, 'Would you like $25,000 or a sable?' I said, 'The sable.'" She designed the bottle Max Factor disparagingly called "The Blob" Simply Halston has it that she accepted $25,000 for the design, but Peretti remembers it differently. "Peretti" is Elsa Peretti, the model-turned-jewellery designer played by Rebecca Dayan in Halston. Although it took virtually redesigning the filling nozzles, the blob it was." He decided to spend his own money finding a way to get it filled, and he spent almost $50,000 to develop a technique to fill it. In the biography, Paul Wilmot, vice president of promotion and marketing for Max Factor, says: 'Halston became passionate about the Peretti shape. The scene in which Halston put his own money into the project so that he could have the bottle he wanted, for example, is true. The True Story Behind the Studio 54 Air Vent Death in Netflix's 'Halston'.The 10 Wildest Stories From Halston's Life the Netflix Show Missed Out.Though the Netflix show takes dramatic license with some details of the fragrance, a number of other scenes are based entirely on the true story. ![]() As of 2021, it is the second-biggest selling fragrance of all time behind Chanel No. The perfume was an instant success, with $1.5 million of it sold in the first two weeks. Within two years, per Simply Halston, perfume sales alone would be bringing in $85 million a year to the company. That unique scene made the real Halston perfume a massive success. It was perfect, it was right, and it makes the perfume smell like nobody else's." Nothing seemed right a fantastic break for us. ![]() ![]() "I must have smelled hundreds and hundreds of perfumes," Halston says in his biography, "they were either too green or too hot or too hot or too boring. This scent was not achieved by essence of jockstrap as the show would have you believe but via the discovery of a brand new essential oil that had never appeared in a perfume before. Per its official description, the real scent has: "Top notes mint, melon, green leaves, peach and bergamot middle notes are carnation, orris root, jasmine, marigold, ylang-ylang, cedar and rose base notes are sandalwood, amber, patchouli, musk, oakmoss, vetiver and incense." These scents have been chosen because of what they say about Halston, but are not what the real Halston scent smells of-after all, a perfume that brought together flowers, cigarettes and the smell of sex would probably be a bit much for the mass market.

The jockstrap is not the only invented part of that scene. This scene seems to be a screenwriter's fantasy, with Halston and Adele's conversation about scents put in to give the show an opportunity to explore the character's backstory.

Perhaps the most audacious scene, however, comes when Halston is working on his first perfume with parfumier Adele (Vera Farmiga). Netflix series Halston features a number of pretty wild scenes, from a woman dying in the air vents of Studio 54 to Halston's (played by Ewan McGregor) phone getting so clogged up with cocaine that it stops working. ![]()
