Haltane is one of my top 5 fragrances. This is definitely a more mature cologne, I'm not sure how much a teenager would enjoy this (I may be wrong). The praline addition is what separates this from its dupes. A nice blend of woody oud and leather, tis is a year round fragrance for me.
Great beginner oud fragrance that helps give you an idea of the note. Definitely the most mass appealing oud fragrance on the market.
It’s very clear from the get go that Haltane is a copy of Oud for Greatness with minor tweaks, which isn’t surprising given that the two houses are sister companies. I find this has a slightly fresher opening with the sage and bergamot, but ultimately dries down to the same thing. It’s got the easily-identifiable saffron and oud combo, where the saffron is overly sweet and somewhat screechy whilst the oud is a fairly basic bitter synthetic oud accord. There’s a hint of sweetness from the ‘praline’ but overall I find this is the woodier counterpart to Oud for Greatness rather than being a straight saffron bomb. This is a pleasant scent don’t get me wrong, it doesn’t smell bad at all. But for around £300? That’s a joke. Parfums de Marly have really let themselves go, that’s a crazy amount of money to pay for such a mediocre scent.
Love the linear woodsy peppery scent. Very mature and masculine. A green green, but for the price it doesn‘t outshine other more affordable ones. Like Coach.
