Reviewing Haltane from Parfums Marly www.aaronteren... Instagram - AaronTerenceHughes #FragranceReview #AaronTerenceHughes #Parfumsdemarly Music: Sleepdebt - I C U
As a woman I love love Haltane. It’s amazingly clean, but sweet and powerful. Smells amazing on me and every time I wear it I receive tons of compliments. Great review!
Aaron you are phenomenal .Not sure how i havent found your channel until now.But you make other perfume reviewers sound like nowadays sports commentators that talk about the games without ever setting a foot on the field.Absolutely the best!
I’m a big fan of your fragrance descriptions. I have Haltane . Such a great perfumery from PDM . I’m learning all the notes and aroma chemicals. The way you explain is easy to understand how these ingredients work . Thanks a lot
I have tested Haltane and find it quite likeable. I already have a fragrance of a similar vibe, so I will not likely pick it up. Fantastic review, Aaron.
I love this one but didn't particularly like Oud for greatness. I feel this one is more wearable and fresher. Looking forward to the comparison video. They have reduced Layton's concentration. I believe they used to be 78% alcohol, nowadays they are 82%.
I asked PDM's customer service about this, this is what they said; "Please kindly note that we certify the mass percentage of alcohol, contained in our formulas, has not changed. Based on our regulatory partner’s recommendations and advice, from 2020, we have adapted our calculation method leading to a revision of the alcoholic percentage mentioned on our EAU DE PARFUM/ PARFUM packaging." They may have been reformulated in other ways, or maybe you think they're lying but that's straight from PDM
Nice review Aaron! This was the first PDM that I bought and the only one I have as a full bottle. I’m middle eastern and the oud in this really attracted me. Every time I wear it, I get a ton of compliments! Definitely a luxurious type formulation
When we westernes talk about these kind of frags being autumn/winter, you guys wear it in very hot temperatures, right? How do they perform then? Because you guys are known for wearing these heavy frags all year round? Cheers.
Your videos always make my day Aaron as someone who also loves fragrances and is getting into perfumery I learn a lot from you and you are the most down to earth master perfumer out there
I freaking love you :-) thank you for this review I absolutely enjoy the fragrance itself, and I'm super excited for the next video! Also, by the way, I love the backdrop!
From what I remember, there was some consternation regarding concentrations... but what it came down to was that the method used to compute what written on the label was not the right and proper method. So people who look at older boxes thinking they get more, they just get the same.
I realy enjoy this release ❤ oud for greatness is good but prefer this with the praline note makes it smooth and more appealing to the people around you. Thanks Aaron for a top notch review.
I'm wearing Haltane rite now. Love it. A really likeable fragrance. I think a few of the ladies can rock it too. A really good perfume if you want to try oud and musk.
About the concentration: yes they decreased their concentration by 2-5% (depends on the frag) a few years ago. All the newer concentration bottles have the percentage on the bottom of the box. The stronger ones did not have percentage on the box
Yup, I was nervous when I got my bottle of Akaster and it didn't have that on the bottle then some one explained it to me. Makes sense as I don't have to spray much. Good thing is it will last me "forever"
Aaron, if you like this then there is the king of this scent signature from Ormonde Jayne, called Oudh Flor, which is also a Harrods exclusive, like Haltane. I've had samples of Haltane and Oud for Greatness, but these are only the supporting acts to Oudh Flor! Please see if you can get some and make it a triple test. I have many of your fragrances, so I know you'd love it and feel inspired by it! 😊
This actually isn't Parfums de Marly's only Oud fragrance. They use oud in Layton Exclusif, Pegasus Exclusif and I think they also use it in either Nisean or Habdan, one of those but I can't remember which one. Would love to see more PDM reviews!
This is my favorite house still, even though they have reduced the concentration from 78% to 82%. I own three fragrances, from this house because of Aaron's recommendation: Herod, Oajan, and Layton.
Pdm is my favorite house and just because they changed stuff a little bit there fragrance are still the same. They have not sold their business yet I hope they don't
@@jts4248they are not the same , for the price they charge , the least they can do is Longevity and projection , my Layton used to last a whole day , now lasts 5 hours with mid projection , Was about to buy Haltane , reading through the comments many people are having performance issues too .
@@RustyTridentsyeah they're trippin. If they watered this down already after only 2 years that's bonkers for 1, and you're right lol it's been 80% since release.
this is a fav of mine! i think Herod is their best but this is a second for me... this is very classy and manly, very grown up and sophisticated. and much more wearable on any occasion where as Herod is more for special occasions and dates and such. thic could be worn to the office or whatever, its almost like a liniment or kinda aftershave balm vibe to it... iven kinda vintage first aid kit with the old liniment and smelling salts... i get that vibe a bit and it takes me back to my childhood...
Great review as always. Love the background on this review. I have Sedley and was leaning towards getting Layton. May have to get the sample of Haltane before pulling the trigger over Layton.
This is very much an Oud for Greatness take, more towards the sweeter direction with more wearability. Perhaps worth it for those that are newer to niche and don't want something as challenging as Oud for Greatness. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody myself.
I was about to say that, it has an oud for greatness smell. I heard that it was the same perfumer? I know it's the same company that owns both PDM & Initio
Purchased a OFG decant in 2021 because of the hype, and I had zero clue what OUD was. Upon first smell it was HORRIBLE (like a barn) to me. I even washed it off (attempted to). Over the next few days I watched as many video reviews I could find and eventually did another skin test (from my 2mL). On the 2nd wear I LOVED IT!! I mean I was completely blown away from start to finish. ❤❤ I have no idea why my first experience was like it was. The only thing I could figure is my brain was registering and processing the new olfactory stimuli (since I’d never smelled Oud before). …but yeah I like ❤PDM Haltane also.
They reduced the concentration of all of their fragrances as well as removed some of the materials used because of FDA regulations. They removed Butylphenyl Methylpropional and at least from what I´ve tried the performance/longevity is pretty mediocre..
Yes, Parfums de Marly reduces the concentration of their fragrances. Tested Carlisle when it was 77 % alcohol and got a bottle with 81 %, which smelled remarkably worse than the older sample.
I got a 2021 bottle of Herod, and it was complete garbage, like 2 hours of longevity. My 2022 Percival is also not nearly as strong, as it used to be. Around 6-7 hours and a subtle skin scent afterwards. I'm done with this scam house. When my other bottles run out, I'm not buying anything again.
@@againstthestones I’m with you on this , my Layton was weak as hell , these companies get popular and then dilute everything down , Creed is a good example, these aren’t cheap and I expect performance.
Oud for Greatness is good,however Golden Oud by Al Harimain takes the cake if you like a true aromatic oud fragrance. with actual oud from the middle east as its intended to be.
I bought Layton recently and was disappointed with the performance, it was bought from Harrods so isn’t a fake, I waited a long time to buy this so such a shame , I’m now buying more Xerjoff as these always perform
yep, all been reformulated recently, the alcohol concentration used to be around 78%, now it's at 80-82%, depending on the actual scent (now they print the % to the sticker on the bottom of the bottle too, it was only on the bottom back then) PS: let me guess: you are comparing this with Initio Oud for Greatness, right? :)))
Bro, I sure wish I could find a place to purchase a few of your fragrances. Maxaroma is always out of what I want in the states and your site doesn't ship to the USA. Great review...I have Haltane.
This is the only PDM that I gravitated towards and own a full bottle - didn’t know this is their version of their other house… Initio’s OFG… never put nose on that scent.
Good review Aaron I'm going to take a guess on which was the only one parfums de marly fragrance that you didn't like that you briefly mentioned but didn't say, I bet it was Kalan?
I would love it if you'd do a review of my favorite fragrance right now, regent leather by thameen. I think you're amazing at what you're doing, and i love watching your content
There is something wrong with the camera focus when you're moving your hands too close. Never happened before. Probably some setting. If you can't figure it out, perhaps ask Chris. He's an expert in cams.
I also think they have reformulated their fragrances because I bought Layton 3 months ago and I am a bit disappointed with the performance, I don't get more than 6-7 hours longevity...
Love the smell love how long it lasts however this has zero projection its an intimate in the manor you have to be really close for someone to smell it
Probably one of my least favorite PDM. Kinda contemplating getting it just to complete the collection but on the other hand I’d never use it hmmmm what to do what to do
on me it lasted less than 3 hours and I didn't really get the similarity with OFG.. to be honest we're on two different planets... so IMHO it's not worth 295€, even if it's a 125ml
Since sometime 2021, all of pdm bottles are having more alcohol vol. My beloved layton and its exclusive and pegasus exclusive all watered down... herod too.. =( new bottle owners gonna miss out the real ones they once were...
I do not like Haltane. There is lasting scent to it that has almost like a “clinical” smell to it. I work in healthcare and it reminds me of really good clinical soap (the smell). In the restroom at a hospital. My apologies if I have offended anyone. I would not buy this.

He ain’t lied not one time about this fragrance he spot on with everything he said about it👊🏾
Haltane is a great release. I've been testing a sample of Althair and love it too.
Is it just me or does Haltane and Althair have a similar aromatic (yet somehow still rich) opening?
I think ALTHAÏR is a lovey scent. I bit like a smoother Noir extreme, with more vanilla and some caramel running through it.
Dam I love them both
I really like how you explain what season or event it is occasional for. Hoping for international shipping available soon 🙏
I have tested Haltane and find it quite likeable. I already have a fragrance of a similar vibe, so I will not likely pick it up. Fantastic review, Aaron.

They may have been reformulated in other ways, or maybe you think they're lying but that's straight from PDM
I was under the impression that they had to reformulate because of ingredients being banned.
Nice review Aaron! This was the first PDM that I bought and the only one I have as a full bottle. I’m middle eastern and the oud in this really attracted me. Every time I wear it, I get a ton of compliments! Definitely a luxurious type formulation
im i washingt DC. where can i get this fragrance and how much does it cost
$410. Nordstrom, Saks, Bloomingdale’s, N Marcus.

I’m with you here! OFG reformulation ruined the longevity! This is the better option!

They indeed reduced the oil concentration. I've got an older Herod and Layton with 22% oil concentration, newer batches have 18% concentration
everything is getting smaller and more expensive
What About the Percival ?
I could be wrong but I don’t think haltane got diluted. I think it’s been 80 from the release. The price did increase a bit though
Nothing wrong with the new batches I have old ones as well
@@RustyTridentsyeah they're trippin. If they watered this down already after only 2 years that's bonkers for 1, and you're right lol it's been 80% since release.
Glorious perfumery as usual from PDM, radiant and cleansing
Dam right love pdm. They have not sold their business yet I hope they don't
I just came here again to just listen to Aron talking. Calms me down that is :D

Akaster is their oud-rose offering. Also, Layton Exclusif has oud in it :)
I have been looking for an Akaster, i missed out on it and regretted every day since haha
@@FragranceGame85they have samples on cologne collection I got 10ml for £20
You're getting 100K !! 🎉🎉🎉
I’ve missed you 💜
Great review as always. Love the background on this review. I have Sedley and was leaning towards getting Layton. May have to get the sample of Haltane before pulling the trigger over Layton.
Try a sample of Layton first as I find it very weak since they dropped the concentration, not worth the money now imo.
I much more prefer Haltane over Layton. But thats just me 😂
Give us that Aaron Terrence version of an old man scent to remind us of hugging our loved ones gone but not forgotten
This is very much an Oud for Greatness take, more towards the sweeter direction with more wearability. Perhaps worth it for those that are newer to niche and don't want something as challenging as Oud for Greatness. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody myself.
I was about to say that, it has an oud for greatness smell. I heard that it was the same perfumer? I know it's the same company that owns both PDM & Initio

…but yeah I like ❤PDM Haltane also.
I love OFG but I am yet to encounter another person that actually likes the smell irl.
Yes I had the same exact experience, first time I sprayed it on I had to wash it off, my nose just wasn't prepared for it.
Second time was much better
They reduced the concentration of all of their fragrances as well as removed some of the materials used because of FDA regulations.
They removed Butylphenyl Methylpropional and at least from what I´ve tried the performance/longevity is pretty mediocre..
I’ve had a similar experience.
Laytons and Haltanes no longer perform well , talking from experience , Too bad because Haltane is my favorite PDM overall.
So glad you reviewed this one. My favorite fragrance in my collection.
Yes, Parfums de Marly reduces the concentration of their fragrances. Tested Carlisle when it was 77 % alcohol and got a bottle with 81 %, which smelled remarkably worse than the older sample.

@@againstthestones
Yeah I went to Dua Fragrances, and got their interpretation of Herod and it was almost spot-on and lasted a hell of a lot longer
that's shameful for a luxury house who charge way more for watered down frags.
Oud for Greatness is good,however Golden Oud by Al Harimain takes the cake if you like a true aromatic oud fragrance. with actual oud from the middle east as its intended to be.
Chanel 1957 or Cuir De Russie would be great for you to review. Both amazing

PS: let me guess: you are comparing this with Initio Oud for Greatness, right? :)))
i guess so)
Wasn’t the reformulation in 2020, but Haltane came out in 2021
@@blackknightdlreformulations happened in 2021, but I guess they will eventually tone down newer fragrances as well.
Bro, I sure wish I could find a place to purchase a few of your fragrances. Maxaroma is always out of what I want in the states and your site doesn't ship to the USA. Great review...I have Haltane.
Ethyl maltol whipping through the base 🥰
This is the only PDM that I gravitated towards and own a full bottle - didn’t know this is their version of their other house… Initio’s OFG… never put nose on that scent.
Best reviewer on you tube and doesn’t it do it for the sponsors or the scams.
Hi Aaron! It's me, your friend from PSH 😊
Haltane is such a wonderful scent
Awesome. Loved the video
Good review Aaron I'm going to take a guess on which was the only one parfums de marly fragrance that you didn't like that you briefly mentioned but didn't say, I bet it was Kalan?
Hey Aaron! You should review manceras new perfume “cosmic pepper”.
I would love it if you'd do a review of my favorite fragrance right now, regent leather by thameen.
I think you're amazing at what you're doing, and i love watching your content
This is by far my favorite PDM! I’m actually typing this before I watch the video. So I’m very interested in what you think and say about it?!
So is the comparison video going to be with this and Initio Oud for Greatness by any chance? Lol
On my skin I got good performance on my samples of this. Got two compliments in two days. Agreed that it is too strong and sweet for warm weather.
I have haltane and I love it,if you like oud for greatness then you will love this
I have Herod in 82% and I have no issues with projection or longevity
I love Haltane, just bought it. Glad to hear you also approve!
How is the performance and the projection ?
There is something wrong with the camera focus when you're moving your hands too close. Never happened before. Probably some setting. If you can't figure it out, perhaps ask Chris. He's an expert in cams.
One of my favorite for cold weather....last on me 12+hrs😎
Great review , can you do a review on PDM Kalan as it’s a very polarizing fragrance from this house ?
Your style is awesome!!!!
Ah, you’re reviewing Haltane! Does this mean Althaïr is next??? 😍
Nice to watch reviews from someone in the industry. I own 9 PDM fragrances. My favorite is Carlisle and Oajan. Do you plan on reviewing Althair?
I also enjoy Carlisle...do you have spring/summer favorites?
Have you reviewed Kalan yet? It would be very interesting to see your reaction to it.
I also think they have reformulated their fragrances because I bought Layton 3 months ago and I am a bit disappointed with the performance, I don't get more than 6-7 hours longevity...
PDM reduce concentration to 18% Wich literally break my heart as a fan😏
Aaron please Review Layton ❤️💙
this is BEAST !
Review Althair plss
Aaron love you man. Top guy.
Love the smell love how long it lasts however this has zero projection its an intimate in the manor you have to be really close for someone to smell it
You are right about that. I was disappointed.
Is Haltane compare to Oud for greatness 🌸
You are right about that. I was disappointed.
Could you try some of the Loewe fragrances?
I love it & have the Harrods version!
To me it smells similar to Oud for Greatness! which I have too…
Makes sense since PDM and Initio are a sister brand and use some of the same perfumers.
Probably one of my least favorite PDM. Kinda contemplating getting it just to complete the collection but on the other hand I’d never use it hmmmm what to do what to do
Just get a backup Percival instead
on me it lasted less than 3 hours and I didn't really get the similarity with OFG.. to be honest we're on two different planets... so IMHO it's not worth 295€, even if it's a 125ml
They reduced the concentration? My Haltane which I’ve purchased recently lasts forever on me though. I’ve smelled it on my jacket for weeks 😅
For concentrations, I know Herod changed from 79% alcohol to 81% alcohol. However, I personally experience no difference and find Herod very strong.
Mine says 81% and I got it last christmas. I am constantly disappointed in its performance.
Will Haltane perform well in a tropical climate like India?
Since sometime 2021, all of pdm bottles are having more alcohol vol. My beloved layton and its exclusive and pegasus exclusive all watered down... herod too.. =( new bottle owners gonna miss out the real ones they once were...
There’s some type of varnish note in here that makes me nauseous. Not blaming the frag though.. my nose is just overly sensitive some times 😅
What Mic do you use? It's whipping through the base.
I prefer Oud For Greatness.
Love me some Haltane. I think PDM is a niche house that, generally, makes mass appealing unique fragrances. Except Kalan,… 🤮
Akaster should also be an oud PDM perfume
Aaron can you do a review on ELDO Rien or Rien Intense Incense
Please test Vertus Vanilla Oud!!!
its good but not 410 dollars good.
this one doesn't get enough love imo
can you do althair next
It’s 10/10 for me
Haltane ❤
The PDM brand isn’t worth the money anymore please don’t bother. Their performance has been cut in half which is a shame.
Vivienne Village
I made sure I'm safe, legal and compliant before coming here
Yeah, I didn’t like this Haltane at all. It didn’t stink, but PDM is just too uninspiring to be as expensive as it is.
Waiting patiently for K**T to re-stock! 😂
Deondre Club
Bro did you eat the mic? sounds like its stuck inside your throat.
I prefer Oud for Greatness over this.

Deckow Common
How are you 🫵 I’m fantastic and I’m doing really well ♥️
Imagine doing shrooms or smoking a blunt with aaaron bro is so chill. My fav TH-camr
I do not like Haltane. There is lasting scent to it that has almost like a “clinical” smell to it. I work in healthcare and it reminds me of really good clinical soap (the smell). In the restroom at a hospital. My apologies if I have offended anyone. I would not buy this.
It’s way too expensive not way I’m buying a fragrance 250€ not fragrance worth that price.
