What does Kaigan smell like?
It opens with mandarin orange, bergamot, cypress and basil, which together give a bright, slightly green freshness. In the heart, fig adds a soft fruity note, saffron brings a little spice, and marine notes keep the watery feel going. The base rests on cedarwood, with musk and civet softening it and leaving a warm trace as the scent dries. Overall it reads clean and fresh without being flat, as fruit, spice and wood keep it balanced. Acqua di Parma Bergamotto di Calabria and Jul et Mad Aqua Sextius have a close profile.
