The silver sister
After I liked Halston Woman Amber so much, I had to have the older silver sister as well. She was also ordered blind and I was not disappointed by her either.
Halston Woman is not a loud, but very beautiful fragrance. The bergamot at the beginning is therefore rather quiet and not scratchy or nasty. I find it hard to recognize fruits (except citrus fruits) because I am not a fan of fruit in general and prefer vegetables and salads. That's why I could never have smelled the black currant. I recognize the marigolds, however, because I have them also in my balcony boxes.
Jasmine is exuberant, but not pushy and cheeky, as it makes a wonderful connection with the rose and the powdery/creamy iris root. Buttrig soft and creamy tender, otherwise I cannot describe this fragrance experience. But wait, we're moving on. The fragrance journey is not over yet.
HW becomes even warmer, softer, more supple and, if possible, even creamier. Which of the base notes add this special "enamel" cannot be determined by me. I suspect that there is also a hint of vanilla in the mix, because amber with vanilla, in the right proportion, gives me such a cotton wool soft impression. It is simply a successful composition - everything fits and fits wonderfully into the overall concept.
HW is a very friendly, appealing, but also adult fragrance, which I like very much. In a direct comparison I like the more serious, golden sister more, but that is, like everything in life, a matter of taste. Why is that? I don't know, but that touch of melancholy just seems to touch me more. When it comes to durability (approx. 10 - 12 hours), the two are in no way inferior and I will wear them with enthusiasm, depending on the mood. All of them.
Finally, I would like to point out that my comment refers to the Eau de Parfum version by Halston Woman. When I looked for the scent in the net, I had to find out that there is also an Eau de Toilette version. I can't say if and to what extent there are differences, because here on Parfumo HW is not divided into EdP and EdT.
