Parfums De Marly Haltane EDP (Tester)

Description

Haltane is Parfums de Marly's modern take on oud, composed by perfumer Jordi Fernández. It opens with bergamot, lavender, and clary sage before a warm heart of saffron and praline takes over, finishing in a rich base of cedar, elder wood, and genuine agarwood (oud). Where many mainstream "oud" releases lean on synthetic woody-amber accords alone, Haltane pairs a real oud note with gourmand warmth from the praline, giving it a distinctive sweet-smoky signature. It's a fitting addition to a house built on translating the perfumed extravagance of Louis XV's Versailles into modern, wearable luxury.

Translation: a real-oud-driven woody core wrapped in warm saffron spice and a sweet praline edge, opened by a brief herbal-aromatic top.
