Kalan opens on a vivid contrast: juicy blood orange and sharp black pepper. The heart turns aromatic, with lavender and wormwood softened by orange blossom.
The base of tonka bean, cedarwood and moss gives the whole a warm, radiant footing. A fiery, luxurious fragrance cut for the cooler seasons.

Kalan in detail
Parfums de Marly, a house inspired by the festivities of the Château de Marly in the age of Louis XV, often composes grand fragrances. Kalan offers a fiery version: blood orange and black pepper over a warm cedarwood, which the house describes as fiery and splendid.
The official pyramid opens with juicy blood orange and sharp black pepper. The heart pairs aromatic lavender and wormwood with softer orange blossom. The base of tonka bean, cedarwood and moss gives the whole a warm, radiant footing.
Kalan suits autumn and winter, by day as well as by night: a dinner, an evening out, a cold day. Its pepper and blood orange keep it lively even on the greyest days.
Three aromatic fragrances in our catalogue come close: Viking by Creed shares wormwood, lavender, cedarwood and tonka bean; Beach Hut Man by Amouage finds orange blossom again over a mossy base; Absinthe Boréale by Maison Crivelli also pairs wormwood and lavender.
