Which Should You Buy?
Kalan is a truly divisive scent-bomb; you'll either love its unique, peppery-citrus punch or recoil from its perceived harshness. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but for those who get it, it's a confident, head-turning beast.
This Baccarat Rouge 540 dupe is a proper nuclear bomb - either you'll absolutely love it or find it utterly revolting. It's not for the faint-hearted, so definitely try before you buy, unless you fancy risking a headache and the smell of 'crusty socks'.
