The review

Sultane scores 6.3 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Haltane.

Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Haltane's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $120 per 100ml it costs 67% less than Haltane — the 4th cheapest of 6 twins we can price.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

Parfums de Marly Haltane is clary sage, lavender and bergamot at first, praline and saffron at its heart and agarwood (oud) and cedar at the end. Alexandria Fragrances set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • clary sage
  • lavender
  • bergamot

Heart

  • praline
  • saffron

Base

  • agarwood (oud)
  • cedar
For the one who wants an aromatic lavender opening giving way to gourmand praline and deep oud, a sweet, modern woody statement with luxurious presence.
