Haltane – Eau de Parfum

Parfums de Marly HALTANE Eau de Parfum

The Duality of Light – HALTANE as a Portrait of Modern Masculinity

HALTANE by Parfums de Marly is not a fragrance for half measures. It is a statement, a composition balanced between brightness and shadow, power and restraint. A fragrance that captures the essence of a modern gentleman in black-and-white contrasts, yet always remains unmistakably true to the identity of Parfums de Marly: luxurious, contemporary, and deeply rooted in heritage.

As always with Parfums de Marly, HALTANE is no nostalgic reproduction of a bygone era. Under the creative direction of Julien Sprecher, the house crafts a fragrance that reinterprets classic codes through a thoroughly modern lens – refined, confident, and timelessly elegant.

A Journey Through Light and Shadow

The fragrance opens with a radiant burst: bergamot, clary sage, and lavender create an aromatic freshness that feels like morning sunlight – crisp, clear, and luminous. But this brightness doesn’t remain alone for long: the heart reveals itself in warm, spicy saffron, noble cedarwood, and smooth gourmand nuances, lending a velvety depth that whispers of mystery.

At the base, HALTANE shows its full character. Patchouli and vetiver lay the foundation, leather adds a layer of cultivated sensuality, and a finely dosed, Western-style oud (agarwood) brings structure and intrigue. Musk gives the finish its signature softness, making the scent linger on the skin with a warm, elegant trail.

Not Just Black and White

HALTANE isn’t a linear fragrance. The bright, aromatic top stays present for longer than expected, while the deeper, darker heart and base unfold gradually. The result is not loud or overwhelming – but beautifully composed, full of contrast and nuance.

This complex fragrance was created by renowned perfumer Hamid Merati-Kashani, Senior Perfumer at Firmenich. Known for powerful, opulent, and long-lasting creations, Merati-Kashani masterfully balances oud, spice, and elegance in HALTANE – a scent that wears like tailored armor: sophisticated, commanding, and self-assured.

A Modern Nobleman's Signature

HALTANE’s presentation is as refined as its scent: deep green with golden accents, the bottle is crowned by Parfums de Marly’s iconic crest – a symbol of heritage and aristocratic spirit. The fragrance evokes the luminous soirées of the Château de Marly, where the court of Louis XV gathered in elegance and ceremony. Yet HALTANE speaks clearly to today’s world – for modern men with timeless presence.
