Haltane

Haltane by Parfum de Marly is a fragrance that captures the essence of a refined gentleman, blending historical opulence with modern sophistication. This scent pays homage to the regal equestrian heritage and the lush greenery of the Château de Marly, presenting a luxurious and poetic interpretation of masculinity that bridges eras with its timeless appeal.

The fragrance opens with a vibrant burst of bergamot, gentle lavender, and clary sage. The bergamot provides a bright, citrusy introduction, infusing the opening with freshness and zest. Lavender adds a clean, floral herbaceousness that soothes and refines, while clary sage contributes a hint of earthy, leathery greenness that deepens the aromatic complexity of the top notes.

Progressing into the heart, Haltane showcases a sophisticated blend of saffron, cedarwood, praline accord, and elderwood. Saffron, with its exotic and vividly aromatic profile, weaves through the woody backbone of cedar, adding a luxurious and slightly spicy thread to the composition. The praline accord introduces a gourmand twist, lending a subtle sweetness that contrasts beautifully with the robust woodiness. Elderwood enhances the heart with its unique, somewhat fruity and mildly woody tone, adding an original and compelling layer to the heart.

The base of the fragrance is robust and grounding, featuring notes of eaglewood (oud), soft leather, patchouli, and green vetiver. Oud anchors the base with its rich, resinous depth, enveloping the wearer in a warm, opulent embrace. Leather adds a refined, supple quality that resonates with Parfum de Marly’s equestrian influences. Patchouli provides an earthy, dark counterpoint, enriched with its slightly sweet, musky undertones. Vetiver rounds out the composition with its clean, green, and spicy facets, lending an earthy ruggedness that complements the overall sophisticated profile.
