About

Halston 101 opens with a bracing aromatic burst of clary sage and lavender, brightened by bergamot and lemon, before diving into a deep, verdant heart of pine, caraway, and a hint of spicy carnation. The foundation is a rich, robust blend of classic leather and musk, anchored by warm amber and cedar, delivering a confident, unforgettable dry down. It's a journey from fresh herbal to a deeply woody and leathery embrace.
