Our Creation of Penhaligon's Halfeti

Smelled awful. Went straight to the bin.

Unfortunately this is far from the original Penhaligon’s Halfeti. Only plus point is the price.
Rest is completely different perfume.
Really disappointing

So crazy strong. Definitely leans more masculine. It’s an amazing smell but would rather smell it on a male partner or in a store or something. Personally felt kinda crazy dominating and I want to be noticed but not turn too many off.

It's like a fairytale come true, filled with happy endings and new beginnings. Love is like a warm fire that keeps your heart burning with passion.

It's like a precious gem that shines brightly in your heart. The feeling of love is like a beautiful garden filled with flowers.

I received a free sample of this in a “little freebies box” and wow first sniff I loved the opening and had to come read the notes. It was a punch to the gut to see the price lol maybe I’ll try to get a decanter of this one.

It's like a bright light that illuminates your path in life. Love is like a refreshing drink that quenches your thirst for affection.

Love Halfeti, although it leans masculine to me, so I’ve bought it for my hubby so that I can still enjoy it. Would make a great Christmas gift for a male, very hard to dislike I’d imagine

This smells like a much better blended and quality cartier declaration d'un soir

This is a no for me. A huge sweet ambroxan bomb. Ambroxan does not work with my skin although Creed Aventus is amazing on me, so go figure.

This is a strong cardamon, leather and oud fragrance on my skin and that makes me feel it would be more appropriate for my husband. I think I prefer Empressa and the Favourite more on me. Longevity is a few hours for Halfeti but sillage is at arm length for me.

Incredible scent. Sharp balsam, saffron and spices backed by oud wood and resins. If you are a fan of Jubilation XXV, you will enjoy this one. Take the soft spicy, warm woody nature of Jubilation, add sharp balsam and subtract the sour musky blackberry, and you get Halfeti.

It's like a beautiful melody that soothes your mind and heart. The feeling of love is like a gentle breeze that brings peace and calmness.

It's spectacular. A perfume showstopper. Glorious and magnificent.

Wow. This is marvelous; spicy nicey with a touch of leathery tobacco. Performance is great. Reminds me of a Bvlgari, Encre Noire, or He Wood. I'd buy a bottle if it wasn't so expensive.

The quintessential rose-oud for a Western audience. Just exudes class and sophistication. Performs incredibly well, of course. Reminds me of Ombre Nomade to a degree but a bit more simplified, in a good way. This is just as smooth and non-fecal but more digestible I would argue

It's like finding the missing piece of your puzzle, completing your soul.Love is like a warm embrace that makes you feel safe and secure.

This is rich, sweet, extremely spicy, slightly dirty but then it also has an old soapy herby note that makes it "un-sexy", to me it smells of an old fashioned men's cologne that has sort of gone off, but in a good way...it's quite masculine and it is an exciting, very interesting fragrance, but despite the spice and warmth to it it lacks sex appeal to me.

Halfeti brings back memories of my travels through the middle east, -of walking through the open-market souks and inhaling the hot air mixed with exotic spices, herbs, and florals that were being sold. Truly exotic.vThough, Halfeti is very similar to Maison Martin Margiela's Replica Jazz Club, Halfeti is more adventurous. I love this scent

It smells like generic man's cologne. Brings to mind a man in his 50-60s with brilliantined hair, clean shaven, wearing a heavy suit. The price for the quality of the scent is through the roof -too expensive for what you get. I don't hate it, but I am not a fan either. Could be a good blind buy if you're gifting to an old school, older, manly man.

Omg I absolutely love this scent! It’s so classy and elegant in the most refined way. I am 30yr old female and when I wear this it screams old money ( with the right outfit Of course). I am soo happy to have this in my collection, it ticks all the boxes and just blends with my body chemistry perfectly.

a complex scent! Halfeti is incredibly excellent. Along with oud, I detect hints of rose and spices until the scent settles to a sandalwood background. The mixture feels entirely organic. I can't wait to wear this every time, especially on the chilly Winter days, because it is just so exquisite and intricate. Yes, it is pricey, but I genuinely believe that it is worth every penny because the performance is top notch and the joy it offers is indescribably valuable. Adorable!

Nice smooth woody scent but nothing stands out so it doesn't excite me. Lots of synthetic sandalwoods but not a complaint, its easygoing smooth aromatic woods. I think I would take the ore interesting ormonde man instead but wouldnt mind smelling Penhaligons on someone around me.

The feeling of being in love is simply magical and indescribable. It's like a symphony that fills your heart and soul with pure joy.

It's like a beautiful painting that tells a story of love and devotion. Love is like a journey that takes you to a place of eternal bliss.

This smells just like a mixture of John Varvatos Dark Rebel and Maison Margiela Jazz Club. I think it is the artemisia, cardamom, and leather. I love both of these fragrances, but somehow Halfeti does not do it for me. Perhaps it just feels like the same thing.

Halfeti is a great unisex fragrance, and the most popular from Penhaligon’s collection.

A uniquely sophisticated unisex scent for lovers of woody and leathery goodness. It isn’t live at first spray for me, I find the opening notes hard to tolerate - it’s like smelling a box used to store an expensive scotch or whisky in. But give it 15 minutes and this perfume transforms into something else. It’s a fragrance that requires a quiet yet observant individual to wear it in my honest opinion.

One of the scents which I simply am not able to pick apart the notes/accords. To my nose it has it all - citrus, floral, nutty, wood, oud, musk, amber, EVERYTHING; but balanced very well. Definitely not a fragrance I would wear every day, but certainly a great fragrance that would work well for special occasions. Would definitely recommend sampling this before buying as it's one of the fragrances that has smelled quite different to how I was expecting it to based on reviews from here.

Gorgeous exotic fragrance and I can see the hype! It is rich, luxe and warm. Perfectly unisex, perfectly blended and interesting to wear without being challenging. The saffron is not overbearing which I was a little worried about. The florals perfectly complement without turning into a floral perfume. Just enough herbal-ness and fresh spice. Oud-y, Leather-y rosy perfection that lasts a long time. Love it!

Very nice at first and reminds me of school desks and pencils after initial dry down. Dark and cedar woody with a hint of leather, but it needs a lot of sprays to stay with me and not as powerful as I expected. Definitely a unisex scent for Autumn or Winter.

A fairly linear scent. Bold, strong, sexy; definitely not for everyday. It's very all-consuming, but unfortunately, though gorgeous, smells a tad mainstream. Either way, it's beautiful, and it smells like a classy old man. Oud is strong on me.
