The Aristocratic Duality of Light and Shadow

With Haltane, Parfums de Marly revisits the grandeur of classic gentlemen’s perfumery through a modern, polished lens. It is both noble and primal — a perfume that moves like velvet across polished wood, balancing tradition with contemporary radiance.

The fragrance opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Sweet Orange, an elegant citrus prelude that quickly gives way to the glowing transparency of Methyl Dihydro Jasmonate (Hedione HC) and Iso E Super. This luminous structure is then anchored by a complex woody backbone — Patchouli, Vetiver, and Cedarwood Texas & Virginia, each contributing to a sculpted, architectural dryness.

In the shadows, Evernyl, Oakmoss Absolute, and Cypriol Oil bring an earthy gravitas reminiscent of vintage chypres, while Ambroxan, Cashmeran, and Ambrettolide HC Supreme add a soft, skin-like sensuality. The gourmand trace of Ethyl Maltol and Vanillin flirts beneath the surface, like caramel smoke curling over polished mahogany.

✨ The Result

Haltane is the scent of a refined paradox — polished yet wild, glowing yet grounded.
It smells of a 19th-century library bathed in morning light, where leather-bound books and bergamot tea mingle with the warmth of ambered skin.
A true modern fougère reborn with aristocratic restraint and animal grace.
