Halston Woman Halston for women

Yes, you nailed it, Grottola. Powdery banana chypre. You will eat your sample paper (banana) and feel some distance (chypre). After the skin test I was jumping around for one hour to celebrate a new found gem but then, a big disappointment. The scent develops into something very ugly on my skin. Something between chypre and cheap drugstore stuff. So sad.

Powdery banana chypre.

Unique, but not something I'd wear. However, if you want something that smells like bananas, here's your calling.

Another strong and too intense "old ladies" scent.

I’m not sure whether the version I have is vintage or reformulated, nor do I know its concentration. It starts out very promising as a floral mix of jasmine, rose and a little spicy carnation, like a vintage perfume, almost a classic chypre scent. In addition to the soft flowers, it’s just a little soapy at first. Disappointingly, it only lasts 3-5 hours and seems to have no significant base notes. This makes me suspect that it’s a low concentration reformulation. It’s nice while it lasts, but I’d like a little more bang for the buck.

It is avaible as 30, 50 and 100 ml EDP.

strange, i ve the EDT though !???

i love this smell it's unique and tempting, a sweet sour berry splash on the top mingels with the intriguing smell of tagets, soft and powdery jasmin with a velvety rose towards the middle. the flowers keep blooming on skin warmthen up by precious woods and earthy orris on the base.

it's a simple perfume but very intriguing, loveable and longlasting! it lingers woody powdery with hints of sweets of berry and flowers for hours, very nice sillage! nice !

bottle very cute!

This is really nice - musky and warm. There's something in it that reminds me of Agent Provocateur's Strip or Vivienne Westwood's Let It Rock yet it is milder than those. That said, if you're a fan of the AP or VW then you'll like this reinterpreted Halston. Great bottle too.

If it ain't broke don't fix it. The womens original Halstons perfume was perfection. I loved it and miss it terribly. Any spiciness and/or muskiness that has been added just ruins what was a delightful fragrance. I would put it on after every shower. I wish the original would be put back on the market. I would buy a bottle in an instant.

I have smelled the prototype of the fragrance and was not impressed at all.
This scent, though, made me go OMG !!!
It is definitely sweet feminine fragrance so much more sexier than halston classic.
The citrus is completely lost on me, but the flowers!!! They keep on "blooming" all way thru drydown and leave the summery sensation of a flower garden of roses and jasmine and a whole bouquet of something sweet smelling and yammie.
I am really happy I did try and HAVE this one.
Amazingly it stays on my skin for more than 8 hours!!!

This begins as a spicy unisex fragrance then quickly fades to something more feminine. The jasmine note seems to stand out the best with the marigold and bergamot making up the background. I don't pick up black currant, rose, patchouli, or sandalwood. Nice, but not overly impressive.
