Kalon

i'm a big fan of juniper and spicy woody fragrances, so it would have been hard for this to be a scent i didn't enjoy. the opening is a clean fresh musk, like fresh laundry drying on a line outside on a spring day. it dries down into a spicy warm woody scent that still has a hint of freshness as the juniper berry note lingers. i've never tried mfk gentle fluidity gold, but from the notes alone it looks like that is much more of a vanilla fragrance than this is. if you're expecting something sweet and vanilla-forward, this is definitely not it. the vanilla stays far in the background and only exists to warm up the fragrance. however, on it's own this is a really pleasant and easy to wear unisex fragrance.

Don't get me wrong, this is a good smelling scent, but if you're a more masculine person it's not for you. It's a unisex with a light lean toward female. To me, I can't smell all the notes listed, I only really smell a sweet, chocolate Carmel scent, which I love but it's not really a summer fragrance.

Call me crazy but I actually prefer this to the original. The juniper is stronger, and I actually enjoy that. The original is much softer, and in a world where there are a lot of soft-ish vanilla fragrances... I enjoy the spiciness of Kalon in the fall and winter. It’s a bit clunky, but I like it.

I’ve never smelled the inspired version. I like the scent, but I feel like I’ve smelled this dna before. I get very light vanilla, sweet with little almond nuttiness to it. I don’t get any woody notes. It’s also a very light fragrance, I had to overspray & for me that saying a lot.

One of the better offerings from Oakcha That I've tried! Well blended and unique without being uncomfortable. Has a bohemian vibe to my nose....woody yet sweet...luminous.
