Black Vines
Black Vines by Kerosene is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. The house lists its notes as ivy, fig, star anise, cinnamon, pine, peru balsam, tonka bean, incense and vanilla, without saying which you smell first. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Listed notes
- Ivy Cool, damp and shaded. Green without being sweet.
- Fig Green, milky and jammy at once. One of the most interesting fruits in perfume.
- Star Anise Liquorice-like and cool. Sweet but not sugary.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
- Pine Sappy and bracing. Straightforwardly outdoorsy.
- Peru Balsam Vanilla and cinnamon resin. Deep and syrupy.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
