Halston Halston Man is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2009, created by Carlos Benaïm. Halston Man opens with Citrus, Passionfruit, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Lavender, Cardamom, and Mint, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, and Labdanum. Halston's Halston Man carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive scent that tries to update classic masculinity. Some find it a modern gem, others a confused attempt at freshness that veers into artificiality.

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.

About

Halston Man opens with a sharp, bright burst of citrus and an unusual, almost potpourri-like passionfruit, accented by the aromatic bitterness of artemisia. As it settles, a clean lavender and cool mint emerge, spiced gently with cardamom, before drying down to a sophisticated base of earthy patchouli, resinous labdanum, and a subtle, clean musk.
