The review
On paper, Kalahari is a reasonable bet if you want Le Male Le Parfum for less.
Oakcha sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Le Male Le Parfum's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $64 per 100ml it costs 66% less than Le Male Le Parfum — the 2nd cheapest of 3 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Oakcha publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on cardamom and bergamot, turns to lavender and iris, and settles into vanilla, benzoin and woody notes. That is the brief Kalahari is working from.
Top
- cardamom
- bergamot
Heart
- lavender
- iris
Base
- vanilla
- benzoin
- woody notes
Cardamom and lavender folded into thick vanilla benzoin, sweet and hugely projecting.
