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.

About

Halston Couture opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of bergamot and lemon, quickly giving way to a rich, floral heart. Here, a sophisticated rose intertwines with delicate jasmine, grounded by an earthy patchouli. The drydown is a masterful blend of deep, resinous amber and the iconic, slightly damp and green aroma of oakmoss, creating a warm, enveloping and deeply vintage chypre experience.
