The review
Worth a try. That is where Modern Gentleman lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Haltane.
Scentual Obsessions 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 $133 per 100ml it costs 64% less than Haltane — the 6th 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 Scentual Obsessions 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
What it is chasing: clary sage, lavender and bergamot up top, praline and saffron in the middle, agarwood (oud) and cedar underneath — the shape of Parfums de Marly Haltane.
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.
