Halston is back!
I wore Halston back in the day, and I still wear it on occasion in cooler weather. That said, I can clearly sense the lineage to the original Halston, yet Halston Woman is modern & up-to-date. After testing, I read some of the press kit materials, only to learn that this was exactly the intention with this fragrance. Well, they nailed it!
The opening comes on strong with fruit & roses. It quickly settles down, and it begins to seem a bit masculine to me, likely due to the patch. The ambery, woody dry-down is very reminiscent of the original. However, the fragrance never loses touch with its classification, which I think is ... hold your breath ... a fruity floral. Yup, there I said it.
Overall, the fragrance is fairly persistent, just like the original. However, I still find Halston Woman very likable and very wearable. I think lovers of the original Halston -- who don't want to smell like they are stuck in the past - might enjoy this most. I know I do, and it just went on my want list!
There's also a "Halston Woman Amber," which I'm dying to try too, although Halston Sheer & Halston Couture are utterly awful. If Halston Woman is any indication of the re-building of the brand, it just might be that Halston is back!
