Halston Couture Halston for women

This is an interesting 80s-style scent. It is similar to Halston by Halston, but it has another perfume grafted onto it. It is a mildly green chypre with a rose/amber/patchouli oriental squeezed into the same bottle. Surprisingly it’s not a train wreck. It’s full of that more-more 80s style, but the rich amber connects the two genres and maintains just enough tension to keep things from getting out of focus. If you want a better constructed chypre/oriental hybrid, try Lancome’s reissued Sikkim.

Oh gee, part of the 80's!!! I liked this too in the Halstons although I lean toward fruity florals. Warms into a cozy powdery amber, jasmine, and rose smell on me. Niiiiiice!

Old school woody chypre in the best possible way. Still available under $30 USD from on-line retailers.

H. Couture is a thick, heady brew in the same vein as Alliage and yes, Aromatics Elixir (minus the choking sensation AE always provokes in me). The oakmoss and patchouli are both thick and chewy but they're brightened by the bergamot and lemon and slightly sweetened by jasmine and deep red, velvety roses so it smells complex but not overpowering. All of the freshness of walk in a forest is in this bottle, from the darkness of moist earth to the juicy green "taste" of soft green moss and new green leaves, with the slight musty funk of mushrooms, blended seamlessly.

Excellent longevity with medium sillage. Smells sophisticated and expensive. It's the only Halston I love.

No lover of chypres and woody fragrances should be without this old gem.

this is hard to wear-not for the faint hearted, demure girls.takes a perfume connoisseur to a sexy, warm skinned, woody journey. Woody, smoky rose powder entwines you like a silk jersey Halston dress, hugs your womanly curves and seduces without shame!
not for floral or fruity floral girls. This perfume does not order appletinis in a bar, but single malts.
Beware!

Thanks to Awesomeness I now have this wonderful bottle of elixor!!! Ohhhhhhhhhh Nice scent!!! Deep and rich like I like a good perfume to be, its alot on the lines of Aromatics Elixor, Strong and powerful and woodsy yet elegant. You either love it or hate it, no in between with this beauty, I LOVE IT.

Smokey rose and oakmoss, warm amber and patchouli, a heavenly blend, highly addictive. Strong at first (makes you feel in command) later mellows nicely on skin into creamy woods (I also feel that there is some guaiac wood in it too). It takes time for it to unfold, as it is the equivalent of meditative saloons for tasting well made liquors. A chypre with character and a lot of attitude, but mind that you have to keep up to its qualities.
I'm glad I own it and I'm glad to treat myself with it, it is always a pleasant olfactive experience.

One of the great classics of all time..soft and powdery, with a lot of ambery warmth and a slight smokiness. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!! Super feminine and sexy

Why did Halston stop making this stuff? I can't wear all perfumes due to alergies, but Couture is fine for me. Can't always find it. Whenever I do wear it, I ALWAYS get compliments, and everyone wants to know "What is that perfume you are wearing?"

I have it in EdC. There is no flowers at all. Only patchouli and oakmoss, woody-earthy 100%. Smells like drydown of green chypre scents like Jacomo Silences. I love it.
Maybe EdP smells more floral.

I had that perfume a long time ago...I recall it as warm, sexy, floral. At first it gives the impresion of an ordinarly floral perfume, but after some hour it becomes very feminine and intresting.I would like to buy it again!

A beautiful chypre. One of the best fragrances I have ever smelled!

Rose, patchouli, bergamot, oakmoss. It's all in there. And it's good. Cosy and different from regular Halston. I treasure my little bottle cuz I know they will never make this again.
