What Reddit owners say
4/5 Longevity“Smells like Pdm haltane.”
4/5“I really like Haltane, Oajan, Herod, and Carlisle (only ones I've sampled so far). Decided to go with Haltane so I picked up 2.5 oz from a discounter this week.”
4/5“I have the parfum version and it holds it's own against the collection of wintery niches that I have (Layton, Carlisle, Naxos, Haltane, etc.) I prefer that line to the TFs you show, but even I admit that Tom Ford has something for everyone and theres many great scents.”
4/5“Wow, nice man. I got a few for Haltane,mount blanc explorer and pacific Chill 🙌🏻”
5/5“I love this was in discussion lol,, I'm wearing Haltane right now for dinner ., my wife can't stand it ! Lmao”

5/5“Love to see this! I own all except the Prada. Haltane was one of my first two fragrance loves and it still holds up in my collection all this time and all these bottles later!”
5/5 Everyday“Haltane is beautiful, a more praline forward and gentler oud for greatness Castley, although I wrote it off initially, really grew on me and is my signature scent now”
2/5“I'm not an oud guy at all, so I don't have much to say about either OM or Haltane. Of the two, I would probably go with Haltane. I think if you were going to go that route, you'd want to under- rather than over-spray. I'm also a boring middle aged man, though, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I've got to say, though, that's a much more intriguing collection than most 24 year olds tend to have.”
5/5“I got an decant of this and wow it's amazing! I love oud but the only reason I wouldn't buy it (maybe it was just me) or my nose but it has a similarity to PDM Haltane. Which I love btw..”
4/5“Haltane very underrated women have melted when they smelled that on me”
5/5“a few months ago I got the Haltane (*your first image*) and I simply love it...”
4/5 Unique“Haltane and castley are so unique and sit beautifully on my skin, definitely get the most compliments when I wear those two”
2/5 Summer“I have yet to try Haltane since i heard it's similar to Oud for greatness which i already have. The summer scents are ok but not amazing.”
4/5“It's all of the above, but would also include getting whiffs up close a number of hours after applying the scent. And it depends on the scent itself, of course. If I spray PDM Haltane on my clothing, I can smell it 10 hours later when my nose gets close to the clothing. If I spray Xerjoff Starlight on my wrist, it can feel like it's fading away after a couple of hours. And I have sprayed Delphinus on clothes, and it was smelled almost 30 hours later, after a transatlantic flight. YMMV.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I have both Haltane and Percival.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I've had Sedley, Haltane, Percival, Althair, Castley, and Layton so far. I've pretty much gotten rid of all of them but I think I want Castley back the most.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I'm a bisexual cis woman and I wear Haltane and Aventus. Not Aventus for Her.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Of my PDMs I own so far these are the top in order IMO Haltane, Valero, Percival, Pegasus, Sedley, Galloway, Layton”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Formal“Formal/Masculine/Special Occasion: YSL Tuxedo\*, Creed Aventus Absolu\* (my personal goat), Parfums de Marly Layton Exclusif\*, Parfums de Marly Haltane\*, Xerjoff Alexandria II\*, Prada L'Homme Intense, Amouage Outlands\* (I use some of the special occasion fragrance as daily's as well)”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Value“Herod, Kalan, Haltane, Oajan, Godolphin, and Galloway are the scents I would say no clone has been able to successfully replicate for cheap. I'm unsure of Perseus but I haven't heard of a great Perseus clone so I'll throw that in this category too.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Unique“Very different frags to me, I prefer Royal Oud personally. It's one of the easiest to wear frags that I have, and one of my favorites. I don't think you can go wrong with either but I think you'll find yourself wearing RO a lot more than Haltane”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I cannot seem to like haltane when i tried it. I should maybe give it a chance.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Winter“The next scent I got was *Haltane* and another banger! This was winter 2022… ”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Haltane is awesome, castley is another Ive had samples of and will be grabbing a FB.”
