I don’t agree that you can’t wear it in the summer at all. I wore it in the summer and it worked great. Got a bunch of compliments and it didn’t feel overpowering at all. Haltane is an all year rounder for me. Stunning fragrance.
I love Haltane. I've been wearing this all summer to great effect. It definitely leans fall/winter but unlike OFG and some others this one does very well in higher temps.
Bought this as a blind buy, and dang!! Smelled So great! I have a lot of favorites in parfums de marly. This one is an instant fave, next to layton and Herod.
I went inside nordstrom today expecting to buy a Creed fragrance while a few of them smelled pretty nice..I didn't think they were worth the money..So I skipped over to the parfums de marly section and Sedley & Haltane were the ones that stood out to me the most. I ultimately decided on Haltane because it would be a great winter/fall fragrance and Sedley is more a Summer scent. Haltane for me, Smelled very sweet and nostalgic..Reminded me of a Carnival at night..Smelling all those sweet Carnival confections blowing through the night breeze with this hint of musk & spice underneath.
I got this a few months back and its utter genius. They took the OFG dna and did something brilliant with it. Its so much more wearable. I think its the cleverest PDM fragrance of all time. It lasts FOREVER!!! I mean it literally lasts days on your clothes. An absolute masterpiece that wont be recognised for its genius for a few years
Just bought this and smelled it side by side with OFG. I find this better (less harsh woods, creamier, a bit sweeter) than the OFG. I like both but if I have to choose only one, I’ll pick up Haltane.
Yo I have Halatan, Carlisle, and Layton. Halatan is masterpiece. It smells like oud for Glory in the opening, BUT man the dry dry down a couple hours in have it smelling like something different. And a day later it smells even different. Your description was apt about it's changes. I think it's my favorite PDM and I would've told you before getting it that Carlisle is my favorite followed by Layton. But Halatan is king for me.
People love it. Women have complimented me so much. To me it smells Good but not good enough to get all this attention . It’s crazy how I am ok with it and everyone else is in love
Wore both on each wrist for 2 days and chose ofg. Maybe It’s nicer on my skin but definitely preffered it it’s interesting to see most here prefer haltane
I tested Haltane in store last week and I loved it. Today I went to rewear the same shirt because it was still clean and I could still smell it strong. It overpowered the fragrance I wore that day and all I could smell was haltane
Really glad I found this channel. Not going to lie, I fell out of love with your main channel a while back. But this is the type of content I'm here for as someone who really enjoys fragrances. Subscribed. Also, have a 10ml decant of Haltane and I absolutely adore it. Even above Carlisle for me now.
I got a tester for this and just love it! Shame that I will never buy it due to the insane price. But it is dark, cozy and inviting but not too strong in that direction that it would put people off. I cant imagine wearing Oud for greatness if it is really that potent but this is done exactly right regarding strength and duration.
Love this and just had it delivered today actually. Paid $300 CAD ($220 USD). I have 5 different PDM samples, and this is by far my favorite. But I love oud and wood...so not a big surprise I guess!
Hey Ash! I would love to see your review on "stercus" from the orto parisi line. It is by far the funkiest and the freakiest smelling fragnance i have ever tried. ( but in a good way )
What are you talking about? It smells nothing like Sauvage Elixir. I guess you could make out some similarities if you’re analyzing the scent, but they smell completely different.
its great year round, day or night... people love this stuff!!! it is a compliment puller but not like a club compliment puller... youll talk to women though and theyll ask what youre wearing... and will keep wanting to smell you after they smell it.... to me this is a daily wear, and herod, carlisle and layton are more special occasion or date night stuff....
Just wore this last week in the middle of July during the day and it worked just fine it wasn’t nothing crazy and I wasn’t knocking nobody out with it. I did 6 sprays btw
Okay.. so i just got this and when i went to spray it, the atomizer was a turtle head. The cap at least clicked, but now that I've sprayed it more, the atomizer popped up but the cap doesn't click anymore. Not sure what that's about. Also, not sure if I'm nose blind, but i question how long it lasts, and projection. I really love the scent, and I've already tested it via sample size, and seemed to perform better from that.. now that i have the full bottle, I'm not sure how well it performs
i'm thinking it's the 2 layers of oud giving off that old furniture scent, oud does have an interesting application in alot of fragrances, when it's labelled as both a mid and base note then usually theirs some kind've additional effect..... i'll probably scoo[p this up for the winter (black friday sales lol)
To me, this smells like someone made a cigar lounge in a greenhouse. You get the floral surrounding the darker tones, and that clary sage lends a smoky smell ot the scent. At least that's what it smells like to my nose.
Y'all I got the $50 sample set. And this one smells very good. You won't regret buying it. I have only used two in the set so far, and they both smell phenominal. It's definitely worth its price because I haven't smelt something close to ether sample I used.
@Carmen SanDiego M You have no idea what you're talking about. I actually live in houston, TX and driven over there multiple times to purchase fragrances. They all smelled good and lasted. Also in box. Nothing fake about them.
I got the sample in and I immediately thought it smelled like something I owned and I finally figured it out hours later. Savage Elixir. I don’t own Oud for greatness so can’t compare that. Elixir definitely had the same kind of dna. I prefer the pdm as it was a lil sweeter and bit of a better fit for me.
I find this amusing. Haltane, like many other PDMs has been diluted - it’s a shadow of its former self. It’s not an easier wear than OFG. I have both. The praline in Haltane steers it into gourmand territory whereas the long lasting lavender in OFG lends it a freshness that makes it so much more flexible to use. I honestly think marketing and packaging has blind sided people about Haltane.
The opening reminds me a little of African Leather mixed with a touch of OFG. I have all 3 and prefer Haltane over OFG. It’s just easier to wear in more scenarios…n It’s overtaken Carlisle for me.
It sounds like a release that fragrance enthusiasts will actually regard as a niche one instead of a “glorified designer” fragrance. That being said, I don’t care at all when PdM releases high quality mass appealing fragrances, especially because performance tends to be really good when they release something. I really love Layton, Oajan and Herod. And I like Greenley a lot as a casual/hot weather alternative.
I absolutely LOVE Kalan which was surprising considering gin not a big spice guy. I thought it was going to be something only I liked, similar to my tobacco fragrances. The responses and compliments I get from Kalan was/is surprising.
Considering that Initio is basically the same company as Parfums de Marly, and the only fragrance they make that anybody buys is Oud for Greatness, which has now been bettered by Haltane, why do they even exist at all?
Really? Are you having buyers remorse? I’ve been having a nail biting contemplation on whether to blind buy a 380$ 125ml at a local retailer. I needed something that smells like POWER and Luxury. From your experience what would your advice be? 🙂
I like Haltane. It smells good. I actually like Kalan. I don't understand why lots of people say it smells like dirt. Also, I am not a huge fan of Carlisle. It does smell okay, it just doesn't smell as amazing as it's been hyped up as smelling. In my opinion, Herod, Layton, Pegasus, and Godolphin all smell much better than Carlisle.
@@darthdeluxe_1 Yea, that's precisely why. PdM makes mass appealing frags and are more or less a luxury brand and not niche. This is due to the evolving meaning of the term niche. True niche nowadays means scents that are unique and won't appeal to everyone. Rather than the old definition of niche (that a house just has to make frags and nothing else), today its more about the vibe. This new look at niche has been growing in fragcomm, especially in the forums and other prominent YT communities for some time now and is pretty much becoming the new norm. So, I'm sure that's what the other gentleman was referring too, because by those standards, PdM is a luxury brand, but not really niche.
It does kind of have the sweetness vibe from Elixir, with a touch of oud. Also somewhat comparable to the sweetness of BR 540 but with a bit of oud and more depth type of opening. That’s probably the two best ways I could describe it.
@@richardspurgeon8954 Yeah I've got that one too. It's got similarities to Layton, but the pepper really makes it its own thing. Plus I only get 4-6 hours with that one. Detour Noir is the closest thing to Layton that I've smelled.
Just curious Ash with all these fragrances you buy (and thinking of the $250 Haltane price) can you, as a TH-cam fragrance reviewer, write these off on your taxes as a 'business expense'?
I bought Haltane from a discounter in Germany and had to send it back since I thought it was fake, it would last for 2 hours top with no projection at all. I ordered again from PDM directly and the exact same happened, weak performance with no projection whatsoever. Haltane smells great, I absolutely love it but PDM must have altered smth and the new batches feel like they are mixed with water!! Look for an older batch like what I am about to do.

I love this scent profile. They are both great fragrances. I do find Haltane to be dryer, woodier and more masculine that Oud for greatness.

I like both but if I have to choose only one, I’ll pick up Haltane.
Agree!
I love Haltane. To me, it smells like a masculine version of BR540.
Exactly. The masculine edge that BR540 needed to grab people like me
Oh yes. Now that you mentioned it. It really is, if MFK ever released a br540 homme.

The dry down of carlisle is great. I need to try Haltane.
It’s a good release by pdm. I like that’s it’s not like everything else out there. Can’t wait to get some more wear once it cools off a bit outside

This is a little more dry woodier version of Widians Liwa. When you smell them in the air, they are almost the same.
I have this one that I got a couple weeks ago and I love it, it smells great 💯🔥
Bought the pdm sample kit and this was my personal favorite fragrance. Going to buy a bottle soon!
I actually love Kalan. It's fantastic. I am getting Oud For Greatness in a couple weeks.

Spot on Ash.
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
Really feeling the extra Gents Vibe! Great vid too! Lol
I have a sample vial of this coming in the next day or two and I am super excited.
You can 100% wear this in the summer.
Hey Ash, great review and I totally agreed with you and have a wonderful week peace ✌️ 🇬🇧
Duuude, been waiting for your review on this one. Great fragrance, agree, top 3-5 PDM. Definitely worth it ( at the $250). 👏👏👍
where are you buying it for 250
@@joseph-nn9ts when jomashop had it's PDM sale, same with fragrancebuy.

Awesome Video!! Beautiful background music!! What’s the name of the song playing??
Just purchased and glad I bought it worth every penny 😊
Thanks for sharing!!
I actually got a 1 or 2 ml sample from PDM and I love this frag. Trying to wait and catch it for the 250ish range.

Hey Ash! I would love to see your review on "stercus" from the orto parisi line. It is by far the funkiest and the freakiest smelling fragnance i have ever tried. ( but in a good way )
Kanka bu orto parisi evinden daha ilginci “Terroni” ve “Boccanera” ya bakmanı öneririm. “Megamare”korkunç bişey 😂
Haltane is dope.
Wearing this right now, smells like a Stately manor with the wood vanrishy smell and the spices mixed in.
It’s similar to Sauvage Elixir. I get pine trees in the mid.
Really? I have elixir and can’t stand IT. Its Too mouch for me, too agresivne. Tx for addvice 😊
Me too... all I thought about was Christnas Tree
What are you talking about? It smells nothing like Sauvage Elixir. I guess you could make out some similarities if you’re analyzing the scent, but they smell completely different.

Besides TF Noir Extreme this is one of the most beutifull scents I've smelled so far.
Noir extreme and Ombré Leather gotta be best of Tom Ford
Now that I know Initio and PDM are intertwined, then yeah I’m good with Supremacy in Oud.
Just wore this last week in the middle of July during the day and it worked just fine it wasn’t nothing crazy and I wasn’t knocking nobody out with it. I did 6 sprays btw

This is the Classic Polo green with loads of oud.
Good review.
Love haltane and oud for greatness. Haltane you can wear it year round
I think when you consider the value behind it, it could be worse. 4.2oz will last me forever.
I had Sedley and returned it.
Honestly second favorite pdm behind Layton
I have a sample of ofg coming in just a few days. If I like it do you think I should get this instead?
PDM
i'm thinking it's the 2 layers of oud giving off that old furniture scent, oud does have an interesting application in alot of fragrances, when it's labelled as both a mid and base note then usually theirs some kind've additional effect..... i'll probably scoo[p this up for the winter (black friday sales lol)
Does this Haltane reminds you more on Supremacy in Oud because of the sweetness or its closer to OFG?
I was wondering the same, did you find answer? 😅
extra extra Read All About It Ash has a new channel , that old wooden smell is called Cedar or Oak moss
I also get a bit of a Dior sauvage elixir vibe in the fragrance.
Smells like a smoother midnight oud which Is a amouage interlude man clone. The projection was poor and the performance was 3 hours on of my skin.
To me, this smells like someone made a cigar lounge in a greenhouse. You get the floral surrounding the darker tones, and that clary sage lends a smoky smell ot the scent. At least that's what it smells like to my nose.

This smell like a fresh l’air dessert from Tauer.. i personally like it a lot..

This is literally one of the best fragrance in the PDM line. I don’t understand why ppl don’t like Kalan either?!
I like Kalan
Kalan is disgusting haha
This is my favorite perfume.. my most expensive by far ..
Why didn't you put this on your main channel bro? PDM is a big niche house.
It has similarities with Oud For Greatness but it's not that close. I didn't even think of OFG the first time I smelled Haltane.
"Good Wood" sounds funny reading it out loud from the thumbnail 😂
“Gigitty Gigitty”

There’s something to this fragrance that reminds me of something old, an old perfume, but I don’t know what.
How beast mode is it? MFK Oud easily fills a room or two rooms for that matter with one spray. Is it that level?
My favorite PDM so far. But haven’t tried Layton or Carlisle yet… soon!
The batch code on my box is different than this one. I take it that means it's not authentic?
At this point I’m probably the number supporter of this channel.
Same
