Best Kerosene

This is a discontinued masterpiece from the house of Kerosene. I smelled this fragrance a few moths ago and fell in love but I didn’t decide to cop it. However I got lucky and was able to get a bottle through a Facebook group so that’s a w for sure. But how dose it smell?

In my opinion this is a really nice citrusy, rose and slightly soapy fragrance. It is pretty linear unfortunately but it is not that bad to be honest. So it starts up with loads of rose and lemon and you get a slight soapy feeling to it. As I said it is pretty linear so I doesn’t change that much. It smells like taking a rose bath and chewing on a lemon in my opinion. Overall it is pretty nice I’ll give it a 7.2/10

I usually don’t really like kerosene that much but this one is very solid.

A simpler scent from the Kerosene house

The opening of Triptych is very aromatic, very endearing to be honest. Not at all what I expected from the notes and the described accords. It is actually a little sweet. Very quickly does the surprising sweetness and depth disappear only to leave the fragrance very herbal and almost medicinal.

Triptych also has a true to Kerosene amazing citrus note. John Pegg is a master when it comes to citruses. On paper, the fragrance is an aromatic, citrus scent with herbal accords. I do not get rose at all. Triptych, though unisex, leans very masculine to me. I'm very curious how it performs on my skin.
Generous sprays on my wrist reveal a completely different scent. Triptych is largely dominated by geranium whereas the aromatic elements are just in the background. Light notes of lemon too. When the fragrance has dried down, it becomes more similar to how it performs on a piece of paper. More aromatic, less geranium, more citrus and fresh. Still leaning more masculine.

Aromatic fragrances can easily become quite chemical and air-refreshener-like, especially with added citrus notes, but Triptych by Kerosene has its upper-hand, quality. Though aromatics are generally not for me, I have to agree that this is not the best from Kerosene, but a nice change to the other scents from this house and the respective scent families they belong to.
A last thought is that the fragrance is far more aromatic on paper, almost spicy, whereas the fragrance remains a fresh and lightly aromatic fragrance on skin.

Fresh, floral, woody, agreeable, a nice turn for the house, something new

Sampling latest release from the house of Kerosene, Triptych, lovely, fresh, floral/woody blend of rose hips, lemon, geranium, pepper, ambergris, cedar, and sandalwood. It has a timeless, unisex, versatile appeal, vivacious yet comforting, really a jack of all trades. It might among the most agreeable, easiest-to-wear perfumes from the house, and while not a loud performer, still makes a nice impression without being too sharp or overly floral, nor terribly spicy. It’s unusually well-balanced and pleasant. I’ll have to give it some more tries to determine if it’s something I want in my collection but I’m glad to have gotten my nose on it and it has a nice place in the line, not redundant with another offering. Bravo to John for this creation.

Triptych is sold via the Kerosene house website as well as great boutiques like Tigerlily Perfumery and Indiescents, with the same pricing of $140 for 100ml that remains very reasonable for niche/independent perfumery.
