Halston Halston Woman is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Carlos Benaïm. Halston Woman opens with Marigold, Bergamot, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Halston's Halston Woman carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Halston Woman is a divisive amber-floral that some adore for its sophisticated, powdery warmth and others dismiss as a banana-ish mish-mash. If you like unique, earthy patchouli scents, it's a hidden gem.

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.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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

Opens with a distinctive earthy marigold and tart blackcurrant, cut by a zesty bergamot. This gives way to a classic floral heart of powdery iris, delicate rose, and opulent jasmine. The dry-down is a comforting embrace of warm amber, creamy sandalwood, and a clean, polished patchouli, leaving a subtly sweet, musky trail.
