Unknown Pleasures

Beautiful scent, lasts a long time and smells tasty enough to EAT! Sweet vanilla gourmand - love it !

Lemon tea, bergamot cake, with a hint of caramel. The bergamot & lemon is quite strong in this. This would be perfect for a cozy day with rainfall sipping on tea. Great for errands, brisk walks and office wear. It’s not an offensive scent. I would pair this with a sweeter scent - vanilla, strawberry, musk to tone down the lemon & bergamot.

I am so glad I got this. It is intriguingly fresh and yet sweet. I find it to be very long lasting and the dry down is super gourmand. Pretty complex scent and def one of those that takes you on a journey. No regrets on this blind buy.

I wasn’t a fan at first, but it has definitely grown on me because it’s a really unique scent. On the first spray, it smells like lemon scented cleaning supplies, which I don’t think I’ll ever get used to, but after it dries down, I get the sweet citrus tea smell. When I’m smelling the perfume directly on my wrist, I’m a bit iffy about it, but the sillage is super soft and sweet.

Oh my, this is a delectable fragrance!! I smell a creamy lemony dessert in a fancy tea room. How they can make something smell so delicious in a perfume is beyond me. This fragrance is exactly as described. I'm getting a full size bottle for sure.

This is my first Kerosene fragrance experience and it’s off the sample I ordered from here. This is an absolute beautiful fragrance. The lemon and vanilla go so well together. The citrus make it light and the gourmand elements make it a little heavy and sweet, but they seek to find harmony when all mixed together. This has 100% high quality ingredients and the description from the artist above... they couldn’t have nailed it better. To be honest, this leans more on the feminine unisex scale. I still love this scent and really enjoy smelling it, I’m just not sure I would wear it.

It smells like an expensive Pina Colada.

This scent reminds me of the fog in amusement parks/haunted houses. Happy formative memories, this will be my next full size purchase.

I am new to perfumes! But I have always loved lemon! This has a beautiful bright opening that makes my heart happy! Quickly the tea and honey come through and I am in awe! As someone who drinks hot tea with lemon an honey, this is such a cozy warm scent! I could see me wearing this for a rainy gloomy day! Or at the beginning of spring! So beautiful! I still have 16 samples to try! But I believe this is a contender for full bottle at some point!

As I learn more and more about Gourmand fragrances and all the variations, I love encountering something which gives me a new memory. Wearing this fragrance reminds me of my mother baking a cake. I can remember the vanilla and lemon extract being mixed in a bowl and waiting until she would allow me a taste off the spoon. Even if I'm not wearing it, I have to smell it once a day. This is an up close and personal fragrance for me.

This perfume description is perfect. Vanilla, earl grey tea, bergamot. It’s sophisticated, but gourmet at the same time, and the lasting power is pretty good. Definitely a favorite!
