Top Notes:
Blood Orange
Spices (Saffron, Black Pepper)
The fragrance opens with an invigorating burst of blood orange, a vibrant citrus note that is both tangy and slightly sweet, providing a lively and fresh introduction. The citrus is immediately complemented by a blend of saffron and black pepper, giving the opening a spicy, warm, and slightly exotic edge. These spices add depth and a touch of warmth, balancing the freshness of the citrus notes with a subtle heat and complexity.
Heart Notes:
Lavender
Orchid
Floral Notes
The heart of Kalan is dominated by lavender, which adds an aromatic, herbal, and slightly floral touch to the fragrance. The lavender note brings a clean, fresh, and calming quality that perfectly complements the spiciness of the top notes. Orchid adds a delicate, floral sweetness, creating a contrast to the more masculine spices and enhancing the overall elegance of the fragrance. Additional floral notes round out the heart, making it smooth and balanced, yet still maintaining a masculine edge.
Base Notes:
Amber
Woodsy Notes (Sandalwood, Cedarwood)

In the base, Kalan becomes richer and more grounded. Amber provides a warm, resinous sweetness that adds depth and sensuality to the fragrance, creating a long-lasting and enveloping finish. The woodsy notes of sandalwood and cedarwood lend a smooth, dry, and slightly creamy quality, enhancing the fragrance’s masculine character and giving it a solid structure. Musk adds a clean, soft, and sensual undertone, lingering on the skin to provide lasting warmth.
