Maybe I’m just nose blind to this because to me, this smells like a plain beeswax candle with the tiniest, nearly imperceptible drop of vanilla. Not an offensive smell by any means, but super faint and quite…lacklustre. It does develop a light cardamom-like spiciness a few hours in, but I have to put my nose right up to my skin to even notice it. I’m usually really impressed with Kerosene’s fragrances even when I don’t love the actual scent so this is pretty disappointing. Has minimal sillage and lasts about 5 hours on me. I saw that this was compared to Eau Duelle Eau de Parfum and Babycat but since I can barely smell Promises, Promises, I can’t agree as they're both quite strong.

To me, this is a mixture of By the Fireplace and Ginger Biscuit. It has the smoky vanilla of By the Fireplace and something sweet and spicy from Ginger Biscuit. I like it better than I expected to, but it is still just a bit too screechy for my taste. I don’t get any bergamot or amber, it’s mainly incense and birch with distinct vanilla and hints of pink pepper and cacao. Has moderate sillage and lasts about 5 hours on me.

Nicer than I expected! I usually find coffee fragrances to be too sharp and bitter, but the espresso here is light and very smooth. I would say it's more of a sweet, milky, and creamy scent with a touch of coffee. I also get caramel and a bit of coconut, vanilla, and musk, but I don't get any sandalwood, cedar, or berries. Reminds me a bit of Caramel Skin, though not as buttery. My only complaint is that it's quite faint, but lasts about 7 hours on me.

Nearly identical to Cheirosa '71 but much stronger and a bit less sweet. The butteriness in the dry down fades within a few minutes leaving behind an almost powdery cookie scent. Has moderate sillage and lasts about 6 hours on me. It’s also similar to Sweet Caramel which I find a bit more sour. On the other hand, I don’t see any similarity to Salt Caramel which just smells like salty sandalwood to me.

I was so excited to try this because I love a banana scent, but I sadly get more coconut than banana here. On top of that, it smells quite plasticky and kind of musty. All in all, I really only smell coconut and spun sugar and it’s not nearly as creamy as I expected. It has minimal sillage and lasts about 6 hours. In terms of banana perfumes, I still much prefer Donna Sentenza.
