About Kerosene

Kerosene is an independent house that, between 2011 and 2022, built a reputation for artistic, distinctive scents anchored in warm spice, citrus, amber, coffee and oud.

Its signature is Unknown Pleasures, a citrus-and-vanilla blend that became the brand's calling card. Followed layers coffee with warm spice for a rich, full effect, Sweetly Known drifts toward caramel warmth, and Blackmail pairs oud with vanilla for something deep and dark. Broken Theories rounds things out with spicy amber.

Kerosene suits those seeking personal, hand-crafted compositions that avoid cliché, with bold presence and strong longevity that reward wearers who want a fragrance with a clear point of view.
