It's all about expectations
Lavender, orange blossom, sandalwood, moss?! That's gotta be something for me!
Kalan does not do badly on average here. For a PdM, however, not very good either.
If you read the comments here, you can see that the loyal PdM holder has his problems with Kalan. I know some of the PdM scents from past taster tests and have never been to one of the scents I have tested, which have been highly satisfying for many users. I do not get along very well with fragrances that are gourmand sweet and rather vanilla-heavy. An exception for me is the Acqua e Zucchero from Profumum Roma. Whatever. When it comes to gourmands, I always found many other houses more interesting than the PdM house. My personal impression. Bad smells are therefore not the PdMs.
Despite everything, I am not deterred by past experiences and am open to new fragrances, even from houses I could not be happy with in the past. I also didn't let some comments deter me from testing Kalan, as I had previously let burnt milk and plastic smell.
What can I say? I'm so glad I didn't get scared off and have a bottling sent to me. Sprayed on, I was immediately enthusiastic, because it was a completely different PdM than I was used to from the past. Not a sticky gourmand. None, in meanwhile so many scents occurring vanilla. Kalan opens with blood orange scent, which is really very good to smell out. It starts out altogether orange, floral, spicy, green. In the course of the fragrance, the orange light sweetness decreases a little, but never disappears completely. The overall impression is orange-fruity, somewhat flowery and spicy green. I suppose it is the spicy green that the one or the other, especially PdM lovers can't stand here, it is very different to Herod, Oajan & Co. and in the long run the more dominant impression of the Kalan.
To me, Kalan is a year-round scent. Due to its orangey and somewhat sweetish flowery scent it has something sparkling and refreshing in winter and in the warm season, I imagine that its green spiciness brings a little pep "per" on a warm summer evening and therefore does not come across too sticky. I can imagine him very well on a party night at a beach club.
I've been here on this platform for many years now, haven't really been active here for a long time and haven't done any trial tests for a long time. All the more I am now happy that I had an absolute WOW experience with Kalan for a long, long time. I don't know when the last time I was so enthusiastic about a fragrance was right away. As a result, I directly ordered a 125 ml bottle.
The reason why the fragrance does not go down so well here is for me the expectations. Many PdM fans will have expected something similar to what they are used to from PdM. Sweet, gourmand, oriental, vanilla. For me, it was always the sweet gourmands who couldn't knock me off. That's why I am now all the more pleased to have discovered a new darling for me.
If you don't like Baccarat Rouge, please, please don't be deterred to try the beautiful Kalan. I'm not so good with the Baccarat Rouge and I'm even happier with Kalan
A small note in the margin. I also ordered the Pegasus from PdM as a bottling. I also like this one, but I can only imagine it in the autumn/winter time, because I find it much denser and powdery. On a day with a headache, I wouldn't want to wear Pegasus either. Nevertheless a nice and extremely uniqe fragrance, which will probably make it into my collection by autumn 2020.
So I seem to become a little PdM fan after all! :)
