Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Kalan Eau de Parfum

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.

Our Verdict - Red Carpet Paragon Eau de Parfum

This one's a mixed bag, with some calling it a flat, food-like spice bomb and others praising its complex, sweet, and woody drydown. If you like cheap dupes, it might be worth a punt, but don't expect a power-house performer.
