Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Haltane EDP
A divisive take on wearable oud, Haltane is either a masterful blend of sweet woodiness or an overpriced, rubbery disappointment. Love it or hate it, its strong presence demands attention.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Old Norse EDP
Old Norse follows Parfums de Marly Haltane's spicy-woody oud-fougere. The aromatic lavender-sage opening into a praline-saffron heart and dry oud base reads close to the brief, but as a budget dupe it lands flatter, with the polished niche depth softened.

Season and Occasion Fit

Haltane

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its exceptional longevity and strong projection make it less suitable for a close-quarters office environment, but perfect for dates and evening events where its rich, luxurious trail can be appreciated. While some find it wearable for casual cool weather, its opulent character truly shines in dressed-up or formal settings.

Old Norse

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

The praline sweetness, oud and dry woods are warm, cocooning notes suited to autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its confident, dressed-up spicy-woody character favours evenings, dates and formal wear over sport or daytime casual.
