Parfums De Marly Kalan

Mostly warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on spices, blood orange and black pepper, moves through lavender and orange blossom, and settles on woody notes, moss and white sandalwood.

• spices: a general spiciness rather than any one spice
• blood orange: orange with a darker, slightly berry-like sourness

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
