Composition
Kalan is an oriental-spicy eau de parfum for women and men by Celine Ripert, launched in 2019. It opens with spices, blood orange and black pepper, develops lavender and orange blossom in the heart, and settles into woody notes, moss, white sandalwood, tonka bean and amber.
To me this smells like walking through Khari Baoli, Asia's biggest spice market, at full chaos — blood orange bursting tart and bright over a storm of black pepper and unnamed spices, the air so thick you can taste it. It's a spice bomb, and it announces itself from across the street. Lavender and orange blossom try to keep it elegant, and mostly succeed — there's a soapy, refined core in there. But the base is all dark woods, moss, white sandalwood, tonka, amber: heavy, warm, relentless. This is a projection beast, the kind of scent that enters the room before you do. Power has a price, and beginners pay it in headaches. Not for beginners — beginners stay away.
