Kalan vs Carlisle

Kalan is a divisive fragrance in the r/fragrance community with passionate supporters and detractors. Fans praise its longevity, wearability, and ability to garner compliments, while critics find it too peppery, sweet, or unpleasant overall. The fragrance appeals to those who prioritize accessibility and performance over complexity, making it underrated by some but genuinely disliked by others.

Carlisle is a divisive fragrance within the community - those who enjoy it praise its artistic complexity, excellent longevity, and bridge between European and Middle Eastern perfumery styles. However, others find its heavy, all-at-once opening overwhelming or irritating, and it doesn't deliver the experience some expected based on comparisons to Layton. The fragrance rewards patience as it evolves throughout the day.
