HIGHLIGHT
This perfume bottle is inspired by the Book of Genesis from the Old Testament. It depicts Adam and Eve tasting the forbidden fruit and experiencing shame—the theme of humanity’s first sin. The bottle itself features Eve in a bold pose before eating the apple, while the stopper is designed to resemble an apple. Extremely rare, very few examples exist, and it seldom appears on the market.
