Part of the Trade Routes collection. The company says:
Halfeti draws inspiration from the lavish goods traded with Turkey by the Levant Company; exotic florals, spices, soft leathers and precious fabrics.
The fragrance is named for the stunning black roses that grow on the banks of the Euphrates river in the small Turkish village of Halfeti. Dark and mysterious, the roses are exceedingly rare as a result of the unique environmental conditions in which they are grown.

Latest Reviews of Halfeti
Wow. Very good; spicy nicey with a touch of leathery tobacco. Performance is great. I'd buy a bottle if it wasn't so expensive.
Great little fragrance. As said above, best not to overthink this one as it’s quite complex and has a lot going on. Best to wear and enjoy. Rich, spicy and sweet. Lasts all day with good sillage too.

My favourite from Penhaligon, although that's a backhanded compliment as I'm not a huge fan of the house. Nice, spicy, warm fragrance with decent projection and above average longevity.
Halfeti smells good, it's quite blue and floral with a lot of leather which makes it project as a typically masculine perfume, specially because of the added spices.
Smells really similar to Acqua di Parma's Oud. It lasts just as long too. I don't have any previous history with Penhaligon's and I found this very impressive.
