You are the first one to actually talk about the opening. I smelled it when it was first release it is harsh and acidic smelling. I like the earrings and kalan bottle colour combo nice touch 👌
We're definitely on the same page about this particular Parfums de Marly. Nothing wrong with challenging fragrances, but Josephine got their number on this one: some weird elements jumbled up -even after putting up with the opening. These "must know" reviews are off-the-charts accurate. Bravo Josephine, may your subs count increase higher than + 10k.
Hello Josephine Kalan is a challenging fragrance, but in my opinion this is what it makes the scent DNA realy interesting for me. Parfums de Marly has some high quality crowd pleasing fragrances and they are great. With Kalan Parfums de Marly has a more niche type fragrance and I like that. I have a 75 ml bottle from Kalan and I'm happy to have this fragrance in my collection. Greetings from germany
Oh most definitely. Kudos to PDM for venturing out of their comfort zone. I'm all for creativity and exploring different notes and glad to hear you enjoy it. For me though it's a pass
I find this to be very interesting scent. Very masculine. I wore first day to a club had my date with me. She kept telling me that I smell good. Next morning she texted me to find out what I was wearing. To me it was love at first sniff. I bought two bottles full price:). I was surprised on hear that it is a very polarizing.
Hello Josephine, this is my impression on Kalan, at the first smell in the opening something pungent rose up my nostrils. a mixture of notes, almost in bulk, as if to create expectation, anxiety, about something you don't know about, then the red flavor of spices and earth, blood, clear and powerful, and then the comforting taste of amber and wood. The victory. Kalan is a perfume used to go to battle. For me it is a confident journey and it makes me feel good. The first perfume i wear just for me. I love it but also received unexpected compliments as well! You're right, this perfume is either loved or hated, but I think that to wear it you have to enter a new mindset. I love it. I just discovered your channel! Love your videos and your reviews. Cheers
First off it’s a artistic masterpiece. I own 9 Parfums De Marly , and this is the one people see first. To me Kalan is a spicy masculine fragrance for going out at night. It won’t wow you at first, you will sit there trying to figure out what it’s doing. It is in its dry down where the molecules start having the necessary chemistry. It’s a beast projector that is for certain guys. It’s a nice change up from the other Marley’s imo.
I didn’t like Kalan when I first smelt it. Then I tested it and as it dried down it grew and grew on me. So much so that I ended up getting a bottle. 😊
Jus de Rose I’m so happy for you Josephine on reaching 10k subscribers. Congratulations! I have to say it was definitely something I expected because the content you create is amazing, extremely enlightening if you will. And that number will only go up, I’m 100% sure there’s nothing but success for you. Also great video, loved it. Glad to hear your take on Kalan.
The best honest review on Kalan, which ended in me subscribing to your channel instantly. Kalan projects a very complicated scent which leaves me confused. As a Marly fan, I have always admired their colognes which are always unique and second to none, imo. However, Kalan is a beast out there that I just haven't been able to relate to ever since. I am sure there are many people out there who admire this perfume for what it delivers. But you spoke the verdict very well: "Don't blind-buy it because there is a 50-50 chance that you might like it or hate it." Try it out before buying to see if it fits for you. Thank you for the honest and nice review.
Definitely polarizing. Im very familiar with the scent of real blood oranges...I’m around them quite often.....I get the blood orange in this fragrance and love it!
This perfume is definitely not for noses that please the novice general audience.This is more for medium and advanced noses.Baccarat Rouge has nothing to do with this, it is a unique fragrance in its own right.Aprils, I have 400 bottles of niche fragrances, I think you know what I mean.peace ✌🏻
Wow! I thought I was I was going crazy. People told me Kalan smells unisex leaning masculine, one even said feminine. But, to my nose it was polarizing and very masculine. I'm glad someone agrees with me. Now I know I'm not going crazy.
It's good for someone that wants same scent in any situation and atmosphere. Personality that one way to deal with any problem and one way for all stages of life.
Thanks for this video Josephine.....I live here in Canada and my shipment of Kalan arrives tomorrow. I have smelled it before at Nordstroms and the opening was quite strong but I did like it enough to order it at a discounted price. My only regret is that I perhaps should have ordered Habdan instead.
Josephine, this "earthy soil like character note" is very prominent in Tom Fords "Noir Anthracite". It is challenging to pull off, but it is possible. I recommend all black outfits. I am confident that I get at least a "thumbs middle" in terms of compliments.I actually received a couple of compliments for both "Noir Anthracite" and "Kalan". BTW 10.000 Subscribers ;-) Congratulations. I am not surprised at all. Keep up with the great work.
Just bought it. It’s addictive for reasons I can’t describe. Where the hell do I wear this? It’s not office safe it’s not hot weather it’s not formal yet so intriguing!!
I have a sample of kalan since about a month it came out. It's a weird fragrance, green and sweet and it has very very VERY annoying chemical smell. That's what it has in common with br540. Is it a good fragrance? Not for me, but everyone is different 😉
Kalan is fairly awesome and different scent ,definitely not the biggest winner on initial spray but dry down is amazing.You really need to try it on your skin ,a fragrance strip gives you a bit of the dry down scent but once it is on your skin and you get the aroma of it is amazing for me.I like Layton and Pegasus as well ,excellent niche cologne that isn’t too pretentious of a brand.
You have the most accurate description of this one in my opinion that I have seen. I love Parfums de Marly, they are my favorite house by far but Kalan definitely falls into the dislike category for me. I really want to like it but every time I put it on I feel bothered by it and can't wait until I can put something else on.
Thank you for the review on this. Sometimes i really enjoy the scent of Kalan. Other times it smells so dusty/musty i am scrubbing it off after a few hours.
OK - so I just received my bottle of Kalan in the mail. I was a little worried - there are good reviews of this fragrance, but a few unflattering comments and reviews as well. My verdict - outside of my initial sample that I tried at Nordstroms, I 'wore' this fragrance today and I kind of like it. This is not a Pegasus, Layton, Oajan, Percival 'like', but Kalan is not bad. I don't like the opening - it smells kind of earthy, and odd. Not a good first impression. Having said that, I really like the dry down. The opening doesn't last very long - it's strong and weird...but to my nose it only took a few minutes to settle into what I would describe as a Tom Ford F**KING Fabulous drydown. I like this fragrance!
Nice review Josefine. I agree Kalan is an odd fragrance but at least it's interesting and has the wearer trying to figure it out :-) I think the worst thing a fragrance can be is boring!
It’s definitely a mood fragrance. When I first sprayed my sample I wasn’t overly impressed, but it’s grown on me somewhat. Right now Galloway and Sedley are my favorite PDM’s and will probably blind buy Sutton.
I love Kalan! I've waited a long time to buy this one. I sampled it at least 5 times to make sure I was making the correct decision. I agree with you, it's definitely a love it or hate it! (And I have no idea where the whole BR 540 thing came from!)
After using Kalan for several weeks, I had to come back to this video. I smell spicyness (is that a word?), and something cold after a while. My neighbour smells something sweet, on my dad it smells exactly like BR540. 😀 It is a very niche fragrance, I like it a lot! But it is not for everyone.
Thank you for introducing us this wonderful new fragrance, I can only say that your physique attracts a lot but your personality falls in love more, take care, stay safe, Blessings
Hi Jus, PDM released a new fragrance called "Sutton" in 2020. It goes more in the fresh/fruity direction (Top notes: Sicilian bergamot, Mandarine, Green Apple, Cashmere Wood. Middle notes: cedarwood, petit grain, Pomarose Base Notes: Oakmoss, Amber, Musk, Wood accord). The bottle is transparent "green" (I would say it fits now into Sedley Collection). More for spring, summer, warm Fall days. Kalan is a good Fall scent (it remembers me more of Tom Ford F. Fabulous) 😊 My Scent of today "Aventus Cologne". Perfect for summer and casual clothes. Nice review 👍🏻🔥 PS: Kalan is for me not a must have. Must haves are Layton (or exclusif), Herod, Pegasus, Percival, Carlisle, Sedley and now Sutton 😊
In my opinion, you should not have to work with any perfume you either like or you do not when you are out first impressions count you normally only get one change the person smelling your perfume does not think Oh I may get used to it they just move away or the woman your with say I don't like it and I bet you will never wear it again, Parfum de Marly is a great smell so different than most I have not found anyone that dislikes it Yet :-) keep up the good work
I appreciate u honestly speaking on something u dont enjoy much even if it's a big brand or has popularity to some extent etc. Love the reds on u btw! And 'I got rid of the idea that kalan is similar to BR540' once u said it strongly ...even if i hvnt smelled kalan yet LOL
Haha thanks! I try to bring to you as much objectivity as possible on this channel (even though fragrance is so subjective) and hopefully these type of videos help with that
These "must know" videos are a great idea! Highly accurate description as always :) I say the same plus the citrus part I really find here (plus many accords at a run). Definitely polarizing but I'm on the love side, loving mainly this definition of what a spicy fragrance is. For sure it's my favourite pdm fragance right now. If you came to Colombia and you met me walking around on the street, probably I would be wearing Kalan :)
excuse me how to choose this marly rest and what season and usage area..Does it have a different mysterious incomprehensible non-simple sexy attractive and intriguing structure..I would be grateful if you have any suggestions for me in the hot season for dinner and after on holiday, but I don't want to use perfumes that contain too much pineapple and citrus like baccarat 540 creed aventus marly layton mancera cdreat bois.
After reading countless reviews and watching every UA-cam review on this fragrance, finally someone's experience parallels my own. Kalan, is a fragrance, by PDM, for the fragheads out there. It's an earthy, spicy, red bell pepper (hence the red bottle) . It actually reminds me of jalapeno oil, with lavender and sweet cotton candy notes thrown in. It's not for me but an interesting scent no doubt.
I am like you: at first I thought Kalan was just a mismatch of notes that reminded of MFK BR540 (as well as TTerenzi Spirito Fiorentino, but darker, leathery). Even left Kalan a bad review on fragantica. Well, well... I bought it. Really like it now and it makes me happy. The only thing, on my skin it does not perform well, but still is a great fragrance.
I have a sample of Kalan from November that I still haven't finished. Sometmes I like the scent, other times its earthy, spicy and loud for me. I guess it depends what type of vibe your going for that day. Its a 7.8/10 for me.
I tried Kalan in a complimentary sample I received, almost with no interest due to all the bad reviews and comments online, and let me tell you that I love love love this perfume. It's possibly the one with the most character from the house, it's very unique and performance is out of this world. Kalan is all love.
Noted. I wasn’t planning on blind buying that one. I am planning on blind buying Herod however because I really think I will love it- do you love that one? Also today I am wearing Carnicure by Marlou- do you know it? I love it so much.
Has no one compared this to Tous Man Intense? It's a dead ringer! It's got amped up sweetness throughout and a lot more pepper in the opening but I'll bet Kalan was inspired by Tous Man Intense...
Kalan is my first intro to Parfums de Marly at the NYC launch on 2019. All I can say is, i think this is the most transparent review of this PDM entry. Unfortunately, in spite of the positive points in projectivity, performance, etc. that you have pointed out - im really not a big fan of it. I really love the house though. Kudos to this post! Hoping the other reviewers just follow this path. But then again fragrances are subjective ;)
I ordered the Parfums de marly discovery set and they decided to throw in Kalan as an extra sample turned out to be the only one I liked. I really like Kalan I will be buying a full bottle soon.
This fragrance sounds like a mess. Green and pungent makes it pass for me but obv I will try it regardless if I get the chance. I like these Must Know installments.
Kalan is a huge compliment getter for me. No matter where I go, this fragrance always gets me a compliment and people always ask me what I am wearing! Thank you for the wonderful review!
I feel like Layton Exclusif is a blend of Kalan that is smoothed out with Layton. Love it. Brilliant. Blending their most popular with their most polarizing.
It’s a masterpiece of a blend. Can’t believe so many hate it.
I love it too
The reason many of us don't like it is because of the exact reasons she stated in the video. Easy enough to understand.
Love it… I can’t stand Layton or pegusus
You are the first one to actually talk about the opening. I smelled it when it was first release it is harsh and acidic smelling. I like the earrings and kalan bottle colour combo nice touch 👌
Thank you!
I am testing Kalan now and I love it!! Although yes, the opening was a bit confusing but the dry down is divine! Stays forever on my skin, too!
We're definitely on the same page about this particular Parfums de Marly. Nothing wrong with challenging fragrances, but Josephine got their number on this one: some weird elements jumbled up -even after putting up with the opening.

Finally an honest review of Kalan, thank you!

It sucks.
I didn’t like Kalan when I first smelt it. Then I tested it and as it dried down it grew and grew on me. So much so that I ended up getting a bottle. 😊
Same here
Yep did the same
I like the stuff but I totally see why people wouldn’t, especially when compared to other PDM fragrances.I appreciate the honest and detailed review.
It is so unique in a good way . Fell in love with it … got one for use and two back ups ! I don’t get the hate
My alltime favorite! Intoxicating with attitude. Not just another beautiful smell.
Kalan...., another venture. Very persuading description!❤

Please dont blind buy this scent guys, thanks for honest review jus, looking forward to review of sutton.
Congrats on 10k👍
Thank you!
I agree with your opinion. I felt the exact same way at its opening. Great review.
Definitely polarizing. Im very familiar with the scent of real blood oranges...I’m around them quite often.....I get the blood orange in this fragrance and love it!
This perfume is definitely not for noses that please the novice general audience.This is more for medium and advanced noses.Baccarat Rouge has nothing to do with this, it is a unique fragrance in its own right.Aprils, I have 400 bottles of niche fragrances, I think you know what I mean.peace ✌🏻

at first i really dont like it.. but the more i smell it, the more i like it. the more i feel how niche this fragrance is. good job pdm
I think you're right on the money on this one, I had the same impression about this fragrance.
Josephine, this "earthy soil like character note" is very prominent in Tom Fords "Noir Anthracite". It is challenging to pull off, but it is possible. I recommend all black outfits.

BTW 10.000 Subscribers ;-) Congratulations. I am not surprised at all. Keep up with the great work.
Oh how interesting... will have to check it out. Thanks for the support, really appreciate it and super happy!
I really love this perfume, its very seductive. For a lady use, you can layer with BR540, its go well together and give you more sweetness.
You are an amazing reviewer. You are so knowledgeable.
Thank you!
Just bought it. It’s addictive for reasons I can’t describe. Where the hell do I wear this? It’s not office safe it’s not hot weather it’s not formal yet so intriguing!!

Showing your channel some love. Thanks for the insight. Just ordered a decant of bal d'afrique btw really looking forward to it
Oh that's wonderful, let me know if you like it!
Kalan is fairly awesome and different scent ,definitely not the biggest winner on initial spray but dry down is amazing.You really need to try it on your skin ,a fragrance strip gives you a bit of the dry down scent but once it is on your skin and you get the aroma of it is amazing for me.I like Layton and Pegasus as well ,excellent niche cologne that isn’t too pretentious of a brand.

I feel that way about Haltane
Thank you for the review on this. Sometimes i really enjoy the scent of Kalan. Other times it smells so dusty/musty i am scrubbing it off after a few hours.
It's an odd one for sure!

I like this fragrance!
Thank you for sharing your experience with this fragrance. The dry down is much better than the opening I find!
It sounds like a polarizing scent, may not be for me. Thanks for addressing this type of scent.
Nice review Josefine. I agree Kalan is an odd fragrance but at least it's interesting and has the wearer trying to figure it out :-) I think the worst thing a fragrance can be is boring!
Well said!
It’s definitely a mood fragrance. When I first sprayed my sample I wasn’t overly impressed, but it’s grown on me somewhat. Right now Galloway and Sedley are my favorite PDM’s and will probably blind buy Sutton.
Hate Kalan, it never turns sweet on my skin. Just doesn't work for me. I agree it doesn't smell like BR 540, which I find okay but not great.
I already said this over ig but have to say it over here too: congratulations on 10k 👏🏻✨ best content ever
Ohhhh thank you my dear you’re too kind ❤️
I love Kalan! I've waited a long time to buy this one. I sampled it at least 5 times to make sure I was making the correct decision. I agree with you, it's definitely a love it or hate it! (And I have no idea where the whole BR 540 thing came from!)

I smell spicyness (is that a word?), and something cold after a while.
My neighbour smells something sweet, on my dad it smells exactly like BR540. 😀
It is a very niche fragrance, I like it a lot! But it is not for everyone.
Thank you for introducing us this wonderful new fragrance, I can only say that your physique attracts a lot but your personality falls in love more, take care, stay safe, Blessings
Very balanced with warnings at appropriate places 👏👏
Hopefully it's somewhat helpful :D

I would love to try it! I need to find a sample to review it! Love the green bottle
In my opinion, you should not have to work with any perfume you either like or you do not when you are out first impressions count you normally only get one change the person smelling your perfume does not think Oh I may get used to it they just move away or the woman your with say I don't like it and I bet you will never wear it again, Parfum de Marly is a great smell so different than most I have not found anyone that dislikes it Yet :-) keep up the good work

Esa es la actitud! 🇨🇴 Un perfume de mucho caracter y exclusividad.
Glad to hear you enjoyed the video :)
Hi Rose, I just gotten Virgin Island 🌴 Water 💧 i am loving it crazy, so nice smell and it’s my exactly style!
Ohhh wonderful. It's such a nice summery scent.
excuse me how to choose this marly rest and what season and usage area..Does it have a different mysterious incomprehensible non-simple sexy attractive and intriguing structure..I would be grateful if you have any suggestions for me in the hot season for dinner and after on holiday, but I don't want to use perfumes that contain too much pineapple and citrus like baccarat 540 creed aventus marly layton mancera cdreat bois.
Thanks for the warning😉...I’ve put It on my decant list, sounds interesting! Your earrings match the fragrance under review...smooth move! Rock on! 💪🏾
Haha yes tried to be smooth there :D
After reading countless reviews and watching every UA-cam review on this fragrance, finally someone's experience parallels my own. Kalan, is a fragrance, by PDM, for the fragheads out there. It's an earthy, spicy, red bell pepper (hence the red bottle) . It actually reminds me of jalapeno oil, with lavender and sweet cotton candy notes thrown in.
It's not for me but an interesting scent no doubt.
Oh wow now that’s an interesting cocktail 😂
I don't understand the hate??? It's smells so good
Great video and congrats for 10,000 subs
Thanks!
What is the fragrance of that beautiful blue & floral bottle I see behind you? Love your well spoken videos. Thank you.
It's Irish Leather by Memo :)
I LOVE KALAN!
Congrat!!! 10K! 🥳
Merci merci!!
Got it and love, love it but don’t blind buy if you gravitate towards clean and fresh. I despise clean and fresh
I am like you: at first I thought Kalan was just a mismatch of notes that reminded of MFK BR540 (as well as TTerenzi Spirito Fiorentino, but darker, leathery). Even left Kalan a bad review on fragantica. Well, well... I bought it. Really like it now and it makes me happy. The only thing, on my skin it does not perform well, but still is a great fragrance.
It's the strangest perfume... i wouldn't invest it in personally. I'd rather get some initio fragrances :D
The very strong sweet candy projection also reminds me of a Baccarat Rouge 540 "pour homme". Well done ;-)
Such a polarizing, beautiful abomination. I love it and never smelled anything like this before!
I'm your first viewer!! 😃
And as usual, great review. Love your accent!!
Greetings from Mexico.
Thank you :)
Great review as you say you either like it or hate it
Very honest Josephine I got two samples with my Carlisle, I couldn't make the Karlan out...so so strange.
Stay safe x
Thanks Mark, you too!
I have a sample of Kalan from November that I still haven't finished. Sometmes I like the scent, other times its earthy, spicy and loud for me. I guess it depends what type of vibe your going for that day. Its a 7.8/10 for me.
Absolutely. You have to be in the mood for this one
Idk if my nose is adapting to it. But 7 months later I smelled again. And I love it now
Guess what?! Me too!
@@jusderose yeah like I can truly see myself making it a fall and cool spring scent. 🔥
I tried Kalan in a complimentary sample I received, almost with no interest due to all the bad reviews and comments online, and let me tell you that I love love love this perfume. It's possibly the one with the most character from the house, it's very unique and performance is out of this world. Kalan is all love.
Great to hear!
I find it similar to by the fireplace but more powerful! What do you think??
I find it totally different!
Red lipstick and earrings suits you perfectly to describe this beautiful perfume
Thanks!
Noted. I wasn’t planning on blind buying that one. I am planning on blind buying Herod however because I really think I will love it- do you love that one? Also today I am wearing Carnicure by Marlou- do you know it? I love it so much.
Yes to Herod! Ii haven't tried Canicure - what's it like?
Te felicito por lo descriptiva que eres en cada interpretación del performance del perfume!
Gracias!
1st, greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Agree 100% on Kalan.
Love Kalan. Even better than Layton.
I feel like this would be great for all seasons, albeit the fact that it can be a little pungent on the opening.
Its really weird, but I actually like it. However, its not good enough for me to spend 170 pounds for it
Has no one compared this to Tous Man Intense? It's a dead ringer! It's got amped up sweetness throughout and a lot more pepper in the opening but I'll bet Kalan was inspired by Tous Man Intense...
Kalan is my first intro to Parfums de Marly at the NYC launch on 2019. All I can say is, i think this is the most transparent review of this PDM entry. Unfortunately, in spite of the positive points in projectivity, performance, etc. that you have pointed out - im really not a big fan of it. I really love the house though. Kudos to this post! Hoping the other reviewers just follow this path. But then again fragrances are subjective ;)
Thanks for your comment, much appreciated :)
Great presentation of kalan, lip color & ear ring
Thanks!
Will you be reviewing the latest PDM Sutton?
I will if I can get my hands on a sample :)
I found it to be a terrible smell. The drydown is not worth that opening and mid.
Kalan is another level the fragrance area🔴
Thanks for the review. Love how your earrings match the Kalan bottle.
It's AWESOME. I love it and chick's dig it.
I remember trying Kalan at Nordstrom, that was a scrubber and had to wash it off right away
I did not like Kalan at all, every time i tried it i just couldn’t get myself to even accept it as a perfume! Beautiful earrings by the way 😊
Thanks!
I like how your earrings match the bottle
Tried layton, sedley, Pegasus，harod, percival, kalan. The only one i loved is kalan.
I ordered the Parfums de marly discovery set and they decided to throw in Kalan as an extra sample turned out to be the only one I liked. I really like Kalan I will be buying a full bottle soon.
How very appropriate, lovely red earrings and lipstick 💄 that matches this Ferrari red bottle.
The best of the house, by far.
can it be used in summer?
Nice video, I think I still haven't see a really positive video on this fragrance. PdM has not released a winner this time.
You haven't seen my video then 😁
This fragrance sounds like a mess. Green and pungent makes it pass for me but obv I will try it regardless if I get the chance. I like these Must Know installments.
Thanks, glad this video was useful
Great video
While I love so many PDM scents, Kalan is really offensive to my nose. Really awful…
Yes, a jagged toothed monster that died of severity on the operating table ! The new Sutton sounds good though.
Kalan is a huge compliment getter for me. No matter where I go, this fragrance always gets me a compliment and people always ask me what I am wearing! Thank you for the wonderful review!
Thanks for watching!
I feel like Layton Exclusif is a blend of Kalan that is smoothed out with Layton. Love it.
Brilliant. Blending their most popular with their most polarizing.
KALAN is my new signature...why's it so expensive though 😭
