Old School Chypre
Monster projection & crazy longevity are the hallmarks of this 1980s classic.
Halston Couture EDP demands the right woman to wear it ... and I don't think I'm her. Halston Couture EDP wears me, rather than the other way around. So much so that I over-sprayed it in my office, and the scent lingered for over a week. If you can't find frags that last, you might try this one. It'll last. You can trust me, the janitor, and every one who works on my floor at the office!
Halston Couture just doesn't love me back. It's quite indolic, poopy in fact, and also dewy. There are no top notes or florals. No rose. :( HC is all about the base, which is predominantly moss on me with some patch & amber. I'm pretty sure the top notes have burned off this. I have tried to love HC with a light hand, with dabbing cotton, and with layering Tea Rose. All #FAIL.
UPDATE - I have a teeny, tiny bit of vintage EL Knowing in parfum form, concentrated with the top notes gone. That is what Halston Couture smells like to me. HC is definitely old school chypre.
NOTE TO SELF - Stop trying to love old-school chypres. They are not into you.
