Falling in love in the middle of an incense store
Kerosene is a house that doesn’t play when it comes to the strength of their scents. Of all the ones I’ve tried, I have always had an issue with the invasiveness (i.e. too loud and too intense). I’m all for strong scents, but they aren’t feasible to wear daily (for my life at least!). So when I finally tried Promises, Promises, I was so happy to find that it wasn’t too powerful.

As for the scent profile, it reminds me a lot of Diptyque Eau Duelle EDP but more smokey, powdery, and musky. It’s definitely more of an autumnal vanilla, with its deep spiciness and resinous amber. It’s got a cloud-like quality to it but isn’t necessarily a “light” scent if that makes sense. It transports me to an incense store / spice store in India. In that same store, they’re also selling vanilla perfume oils that some beautiful girl is buying to wear. Not gourmand sweet, but not so dry that there isn’t any sweetness at all. Nicely balanced.

As I mentioned before, this particular Kerosene isn’t as BOOM POW as many of the others this house offers. But it’s not a weak scent by any means. It’s a soft scent that lasts and lasts without ever shouting. It’s going to be a beautiful scent for the cool and crips fall weather and I’m going to enjoy using through my 10 ml before getting a full bottle. I also think time and maceration will help to deepens and sweeten the vanilla for anyone who didn’t find this one sweet enough.

The emperor's new clothes
I managed to get hold of 10ml of this fragrance in a sharing and got exactly what I expected.

I've come across the Kerosene brand a few times before. However, as I'm not a big fan of very smoky, resinous fragrances, I haven't really dared to try them yet. But with vanilla, musk and amber, there's not much that can go wrong, is there?
When I sprayed it on, my nose tingled immediately. There's something pungent that actually reminds me of cough syrup. At first, the scent is very pungent and then becomes resinous and smoky. However, nothing is burnt here, just coked. Gradually, it becomes warm and sweetish until it finally smells pleasantly like an incense store. The smoky note lingers on clothing in particular.

Wow, I wouldn't have thought that the brand name was program. However, I have not been disappointed in any way and think that Kerosene has kept its promise. It doesn't always have to be the Indian spice market to inspire.
