Kalan
Old wood warmed by the sun, then ginger. Parfums de Marly Kalan has a sense of occasion.

How it moves
It arrives on pineapple, ginger and bergamot — bright, immediate, gone before you have decided about it. By the half hour it has become tobacco and cinnamon. The base is Tonka Bean, musk, amber and vanilla. That is the bit on your scarf the next morning.
