Äican

Äican by Kajal is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with passionfruit, pineapple and mandarin, moves into black pepper, jasmine and ginger and dries down to vanilla, patchouli, vetiver, praline, amber and musk. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Passionfruit Sharp, tropical and slightly sulphurous. Vivid and modern.
Pineapple Tangy, boozy and tropical. Loud and hard to hide.
Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.

Heart

Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.

Dry-down

Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
Praline Caramelised nuts. Sweet, toasty and very moreish.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
