Halston Z-14 Eau de Cologne 125ml Spray

Halston Z-14 Eau de Cologne 125ml is a classic American men's fragrance, originally launched in 1976 and signed by perfumers Vincent Marcello and Max Gavarry. A bright, slightly green opening of cypress, lemon, bergamot and basil leads into a spicy chypre heart of cinnamon, vetiver, cedar, patchouli, coriander, geranium and jasmine, before settling into a deep base of leather, oakmoss, benzoin, musk and amber.

About Halston

Halston was founded by celebrated American designer Roy Halston Frowick, whose halter-neck dresses and sleek 1970s tailoring helped define the era's New York glamour. The Halston Z-14 fragrance — named after the perfumer's code number — became one of the defining men's chypre fragrances of the late 1970s and remains a cult favourite today, particularly among lovers of vintage-style classical perfumery.

Who it's for

Halston Z-14 suits men who appreciate vintage-style, classical chypre fragrances — those drawn to compositions like Aramis or Yves Saint Laurent Pour Homme. The composition is at its best in autumn and winter, comfortable for evening, dinner and formal contexts, and pairs naturally with classical tailoring. Anyone seeking a benchmark vintage masculine signature at an accessible price will find familiar territory.

How to wear it

Spray onto pulse points — the inner wrists, sides of the neck and chest — from around 15 cm away. Apply to clean, moisturised skin straight after a shower for the longest wear. Z-14 is potent: one or two sprays usually balance well; the leather-and-moss drydown develops on warm skin and rewards a moderate, considered hand.
