On the 21st of October, French perfume house Parfums De Marly celebrated the latest addition to its family of niche fragrances, Kalan, with a spectacular immersive launch event that took place at the Mandarin Oriental, Jumeirah in Dubai.
Guests in attendance were taken on a journey of discovery throughout an exquisite art gallery styled space, while indulging on fruity canapes and spicy drinks inspired by the notes of the perfume. The space featured French panelled walls lined with beautiful art that showcased hints of the fragrance, its notes, and ingredients. Right at the end of the gallery, sat Kalan, along with a fragrance cloud, dedicated to educating guests on the new perfume.
Intense and subtle, Kalan surprises with a sparkling opening, blending black pepper and spices with fresh notes of blood orange. The fragrance is anchored with a heart of orange blossom and lavender, and while it evolves facets of white sandalwood unfold and drape into notes of moss and precious wood.
Captivating luxury in its gleaming ardent red attire, Parfums De Marly’s latest creation is made for the contemporary connoisseur, the lover of rare materials and ultimate exhilaration. The one who can tame it will be free and indomitable. Julien Sprecher, creator of Parfums de Marly comments on the new fragrance: “For Parfums de Marly, Kalan represents a homecoming, and it captures the reason why our customers are loyal to us. You can be both strong and sensitive. You can love classic perfumery while being modern. This highly recognisable fragrance is easily adopted. It enhances the skin it comes into contact with: this is a characteristic of quality materials.”
Revolutionary in its aesthetic, fluctuating between shadow and light and rebelling to current fragrance trends, this unique creation resides on the margins of the olfactory family, a revisited Fougere. Sprecher said he felt compelled to launch something that pushes technical performance in perfumery to the extreme.
“When I create a perfume, I want it to be round with clear, seductive top notes and at the same time an immediately discernible base. The harmony between the materials and the accords creates this olfactory music that is the signature of our 26th fragrance, Kalan,” he mentioned.
