It's not easy. The bottle makes quite an impression, so I was all the more curious about the scent. Since I really like blood orange in perfumes, I naturally wanted to try Kalan. Our first encounter was therefore a bit more complicated than I expected.
After applying, the first shock hit me; I had primarily expected something different. The blood orange-spice-pepper combo comes across as quite a jumble, a real mess, only in the drydown does it become more pleasant, but only after lavender and the solar note have had their say.
I can completely understand why opinions are divided on Kalan; it is definitely not a blind buy.
He is certainly not one of the better Malsys, and the best season to wear him would probably take place on Mars.
