Parfums de Marly Haltane Eau de Parfum, 125ml at John Lewis & Partners

\"Haltane is a fragrance for a gentleman of today, inspired by the gentilhommes of the Chateau de Marly in the 18th century.\" Julien Sprecher, Founder and Artistic Director of Parfums de Marly.

Haltane is an original scent of both radiance and shadow. Its composition features a blend of rare and noble ingredients which revisit the tradition of 18th-century French perfume making.

Its dazzling freshness and herbal top notes quickly yield a warm and smooth sense of leather with a symphony of precious woods. Soft and sweet, escorted by saffron, its praline accord is an ultra-contemporary spin on the mythical oud wood.

Agarwood emerges in this veil of contrasts and imprints the skin with luminous refinement for enduring comfort. A privilege that is all about sensation.

The composition of Haltane is an ode to the finest ingredients. Precious woods are emblematic ingredients of Haute Parfumerie, but they are also an evocation of the wonders of nature and a homage to the forests surrounding the Château de Marly. This castle was designed to blend into nature and King Louis XV had an extreme fascination for it, spending entire days in the woods.
