Kalan Parfums de Marly 2019

Hello dear Parfumos (Parfumisti?.. what is the correct term?)

Kalan is somehow not a typical Marly, which is probably the reason why he is not as popular as his siblings. The problem probably lies in the fact that you expect something different (sweeter) when you think of Parfums de Marly. The most famous horses in the Marly stable, a Herod, a Carlisle, a Layton... all go a little bit gourmand for me. They are sweet, extremely pleasing, easy to love, suitable for the masses (which is all positive - so we don't get the wrong idea here).

Kalan... is none of those things. He has no sweet vanilla, no juicy apple. Instead, it is bitter, earthy, smoky. But if you take a neutral and unbiased look at it, it's definitely an awesome scent with something very distinct. Especially now in autumn, when the days are getting a bit colder, Kalan is a faithful companion at my side.

It's certainly not a blind buy, but he certainly deserves a chance. Imagine you go outdoors on an autumn day at the weekend, for a walk by the water or in the city, casual, casual outfit, maybe a leather jacket... in my opinion this scent fits perfectly
Just wanted to take up the cudgels for the Kalan, especially since I really like it. I am still working on my abilities to describe a fragrance, that will be fine... I promise :)
