Parfums de Marly Haltane (Eau de Parfum, 2021): Aromatic lavender and bergamot over sweet saffron woods and dark oud

Haltane is a woody aromatic scent that starts clean and herbal, then turns richer and warmer as sweet and resinous facets build. It feels polished and dressy without being overly formal.

Fragrance Notes

Top: Bergamot, Lavender, Clary Sage
Heart: Saffron, Praline
Base: Agarwood Oud, Cedar

What It Smells Like

The opening is bright and airy with bergamot and a barbershop-like lavender lift, backed by dry clary sage. Within minutes, a toasted sweetness appears as praline softens the aromatics. Saffron adds a warm spicy glow, pushing the scent toward a smooth, modern woodiness. The dry down settles into cedar with a dark oud tone that stays refined rather than smoky.

Who Is It For

Marketed toward men, but it wears comfortably on anyone who likes aromatic-to-woody transitions with some sweetness. If you enjoy elegant oud-leaning scents that are not heavy, this fits.

When to Wear

Best in fall and winter, especially evenings and cooler days.
