The international roll-out for Halston fragrances in 1976 was masterminded by Michael Edwards, who told Basenotes why Halston chose to launch with two male fragrances:
"Halston couldn't make up his mind which one he preferred so he said, "Launch both". The names, Z-14 and 1-12? Those were the perfumer's code numbers."
Basenotes visitor, Bryian Davis tells us "the bottles were inspired by the soft shapes fingers would make pinching the form, that's where the name 'pinch' bottle came from. "

 | In find it a bit dated but as it has become a classic you must have it in your wardrobe! 07 April 2008 |
 | Hmm . . .all these references to Santos remind me of the bridge of death skit in Monty Python and The Holy Grail Bridgekeeper: "Is that the new formula Santos or the old formula Santos? " Knight: "I don't know---AAARrggghh!!" In any case, how blessed are the humble! For in eschewing niche and geting Z-14, they shall have the biggest bang for their buck. 09 February 2007 |

| Z14 is a very good fragrance given the low cost. It is strongly reminiscent of Santos and a good option if you are on a tight budget and can't afford Santos. That being said, if you can afford it, Santos is worth the extra money. 30 January 2007 |
 |  I would definitely not compare this frag to Cartier's Santos, which is a super scent... This however reaks of aged person captured in a nostalgic trip back to the time when you would exit to Plato's Retreat clad in a scent only...09 December 2006 |
 | A both yummy and distinguished scent combining youthful ease and energy with mature, clean-cut, high-end, conservative cult for sophistication and refined, understated but also slightly dandystic elegance. A true aromatic rush of herbal anjd spicy notes and a very puristic, flawless chypre ending. Complex, a collection of very different and very well assorted notes, precious, lavish and classy without seeming artificial. Rich, charismatic and masculine in a tasteful way, cypress notes with outlandish Oriental and exotic hints. Good lasting power as well; while the bottle reminds a bit of Dali's daring creatiopns that shrouded his exquisite fragrances, yet slightly more puristic and functional, energetically and elegantly mascul;ine, capable to adorn both a very conservative marble bath or a budoir filled with antique furniture, but also a very minimalistic, excessively technical and functional contemporary form of housing and inner architecture. 03 December 2006 |
