Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Äican EDP
Kajal Äican is a loud, proud tropical beast, a polarizing tropical fruit basket that some find divine and others, well, a bit too much. If you like your fruit punch with an unexpected spicy kick and a long, sweet drydown, this is your jam. Blind buy if you're feeling adventurous and love a strong, juicy fragrance.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Äican EDP
Divain's Äican dupe leans on Kajal's tropical passionfruit-pineapple opening into a spicy jasmine heart and a praline-vanilla-sandalwood base, an accurate but noticeably lighter read of the original.
