What does Halston 1-12 (Cologne) smell like?

It wears at a moderate strength, with moderate longevity and sillage. Most voters pick spring and fall, and daily wear, leisure and business are the settings it is most often matched with. Voters read it as masculine and classic.

It opens with lemon, bergamot, mandarin and basil for a citrus freshness, while galbanum adds a sharp green edge. In the heart, lavender, pine needle and juniper berry form a spicy fougère character. The base of oakmoss, cedar and amber leaves an earthy, woody ground, softened by tonka and vanilla. Lacoste Original and Gucci pour Homme have a close profile.
