Which Should You Buy?
This one is a real chameleon, loved for its sophisticated blend of notes but often divisive due to its 'masculine' leaning. It's a shame it's discontinued, as it's a unique take on a cosy, woody scent.
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.
