No.323 Kalan Parfum vs Amber Pour Homme Eau de Toilette
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
Eden's take on Parfums de Marly's Kalan captures the sharp black pepper and blood orange opening well but flattens out the niche house's dense, resinous amber base into something lighter and more linear - a bold, spicy amber for a fraction of the designer price, without quite the same depth or staying power.
Amber Pour Homme exudes an understated warm elegance with refreshing citrus and rich amber notes, ideal for the confident modern man.
