The C.A.L. philosophy

A fragrance is not an accessory.
It is a declaration.

Every C.A.L. composition is built around a single idea — that the way you arrive matters as much as where you have been. We work with rare African botanicals, deep musks and quiet ouds, blended slowly between our Nairobi atelier and our workshop in France, done in collaboration with our partners there.
