Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its bold projection and robust, classic profile mean it's probably a bit much for a quiet office, but it excels in formal settings or on a date. It's too assertive for casual sportswear, yet many consider it a signature scent.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

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.
