The Kalan Channel with an Extremely Positive Message!
What do you read and hear online about Kalan!? Red bottle equals aggression, even Ferrari gets a mention. Biting pepper digs into the nose. They say it’s stolen from Baccarat Rouge 540. Even the dentist is thought of. Headaches are the result, and so on. All pure nonsense, if you ask me, but of course: as always, it’s a matter of taste. I still go so far as to say that the criticism of this fragrance by some self-proclaimed influencers has contributed to the mediocre to modest image of Kalan.
This fragrance clearly divides opinions, which I can only somewhat understand. Because lovers of Pegasus, Layton, and Carlisle should fundamentally feel addressed by Kalan, as it also works with an original aromatic overlay over a sweet-creamy foundation.
We are dealing here with a mature, aromatic spiced blood orange, accompanied by sweet orange blossoms. The slightly nutty roasted tonka bean also comes through right from the start. Together, this creates a unique fragrance composition that follows the previously mentioned "Marly principle." No wonder that the most popular Marlys always seem somewhat two-dimensional to me, like a sweet pastry with a spicy-fruity topping.
The top note of Kalan speaks directly to me, as I have never smelled anything like it before. However, I can hardly categorize this impression, apart from the "wow effect" in my nose. I simply can't think of any occasion or situation that I would automatically associate with "Kalan | Parfums de Marly." On one hand, it’s a pity for the reader; on the other hand, it’s not tragic, as I can wear the fragrance whenever I feel like it.
The first impression (thankfully, in my opinion) carries through the entire fragrance development, although freshness and spiciness naturally diminish somewhat in favor of creaminess and sweetness. H/S are beyond any doubt.
