Unknown Pleasures
Unknown Pleasures by Kerosene is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. The house lists its notes as black tea, lemon, bergamot, honey, tonka bean, caramel, vanilla and croissant, without saying which you smell first. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Listed notes
- Black Tea Dry, tannic and smoky. More astringent than green tea.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Honey Sweet, waxy and slightly animalic. Can smell dirty in large doses.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Caramel Burnt sugar. Rich, sticky and unapologetically sweet.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Croissant Buttery, flaky pastry fresh from the oven.
