Halston Women’s Cologne, Alcohol Free Spray, 3.4 Fl Oz

I smell sooo good
One of the best colognes I bought all year and at a very nice price.

Ode to vanilla/Barbasol
No, the title I gave doesn’t sound very positive, but it truly is meant to if you like either of those scents. And trust me, many of us DO enjoy the smell of rich shaving cream and vanilla. 1-12 was introduced to me thanks to online reviews by folks who like lighter 80’s powerhouse scents. I owned Z-14 before, and liked it, but never knew 1-12 existed until doing some research. I blind-bought it off Amazon for about 12 dollars, an absolute STEAL considering the size and quality of this cologne. 1-12 starts off potent and very musky and sweet. Limiting one’s spritzes of this (like other 80’s scents) is adviseable. But immediately you can detect that the ingredients are varied and deep. There’s nothing cheap about this fragrance. I believe it’s a modern day hidden gem that has so little following/knowledge of it, that the price is equally low.Anyway, after about 30 minutes it begins to morph into a woodsy, powdery scent, perfect for fall or winter evenings. The sweetness has faded away after an hour, and 1-12 has hunkered down into a long-standing thick, richly lathered shaving cream mixed with light vanilla extract. I feel like I just walked out of a barber shop and really cleaned myself up! This cologne has true longevity and projection, lasting 8+ hours on my skin. It doesn’t have a cheap smell to it; on the contrary, it exudes warmth and class. I’d say that may be the best way to describe it: a warm, complex cologne that takes you to a comfortable armchair by a fire with your gal in the 1940’s. Guys 25 and over would most appreciate 1-12, as it doesn’t have an aquatic flavor to it like so many modern scents do. Manly, suave, lofty and distinguished are the adjectives for this cologne and the gentleman wearing it. So I’d say based on the sheer price of it, it’s worth the try. But if you enjoy confident scents (esp. 80’s colognes), this one certainly won’t disappoint!!

Definitely not what I expected
My dad has tasked me with making sure he’s well stocked with cologne. So I purchased this for him as a late present, however, the packaging wasn’t as expected, no plastic around the box as is customary with other fragrances, the box had marks and smudges on it as if it had previously been opened as well as partial spillage around the edges of the box and the smell wasn’t as expected. I’m definitely not a fan and will it purchase this fragrance again.

Never came
My grandma loves the scent and asks for it all the time. When I tried to buy it, they never came.

Muy suave aroma, clásico y a buen precio, lo recomiendo.
