Halston fought to maintain control over every aspect of his original fragrance, which was complicated since Halston had sold the licensing rights to his name two years earlier in 1973. Max Factor, the controlling company he was paired with; wanted to put the scent in a square bottle 'Halston Nights'. He insisted on using the now famous 'bean' bottle designed by his friend Elsa Peretti and called the scent Halston. It went on to become a juggernaut known as Halston Classic. According to some it is the number two selling fragrance of all time, right behind Chanel No 5.
