Halston Man has completely won me over. As a fan of Z-14 and 1-12 from the house, I jumped at the chance to try it after reading reviews on English forums. It’s the updated version of 1-12, adapted to today’s fruity and gourmet trends but respecting the house’s DNA. It takes that previous base to create something superbly balanced, bright and aromatic, with fruity, yellow and sweet notes resting on a pure, balanced green base, like a shy 1-12. It is far less wild than its older sibling; Man layers floral and sweet fruity notes over a slightly camphoraceous base, less complex than 1-12 but similar, making it feel less mature and much more modern and versatile. It’s not an all-season scent, but a substantial fragrance for rainy days and semi or formal evening wear, which works perfectly in autumn where its sweet, minty and fruity greenery refreshes the atmosphere in an addictive, magical way, and in winter it can be worn all day. With all due caution against buying due to influence, I confess I have fallen deeply in love with this fragrance that breaks rules with everything implied by Carlos Benaim’s DNA, and at seven years since its launch, it stands alongside greats like Terre d’Hermès or Declaration d’un Soir. It is a scent for robust tastes with an old-school focus but with modernity and brightness, like For Him by Narciso Rodriguez. Halston Man… highly recommended.
