Parfums de Marly revives the spirit of lavish receptions and celebrations held in the Château de Marly, for the delight of members of the Royal Court and foreign dignitaries. Through its original concept, Parfums de Marly rekindles the spirit of fragrances from the splendour of the 18th Century, when the finest perfumes were created for King Louis XV, as a tribute to the prestigious horse races he admired. Kalan defines itself with a distinctive bout of oriental spice and earthy woods, a contrast of powerful bursts of flavour and subtle undertones. Kalan draws itself into and opening of spices seated around blood orange and black pepper. The heart comprises fresh orange blossoms and aromatic lavender. The base finishes with a smattering of woody notes; sandalwood, moss, amber and tonka beans.
