The review
Old Norse scores 7.0 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Haltane.
Perfume Parlour 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.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $122 per 100ml it costs 67% less than Haltane — the 5th cheapest of 6 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour 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. Perfume Parlour 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.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
