Haltane opens with a bright, slightly herbal freshness—think clary sage and lavender mingling with a dash of citrus—but don’t be fooled. The heart dives quickly into deep woods and agarwood (oud), yet it’s not the barnyard kind. Instead, it’s polished, silky, and warm. You’ll notice soft leather, praline sweetness, and a creamy oud dry-down that feels both commanding and comforting.
