Kerosene Black Vines is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by John Pegg. Kerosene's Black Vines carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is a love-it-or-hate-it liquorice bomb. For fans of the divisive black sweet, it's a rich, dark, and spicy dream. If you're not a liquorice lover, steer clear - it's potent and unapologetic.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, combined with its unique and potent scent profile, make it less suitable for office wear. However, its dark, spicy character makes it ideal for a memorable date night or a distinctive evening out. It's a bit too heavy for casual daytime, and definitely not for sport.

About

Black Vines opens with a blast of photorealistic black liquorice and star anise, sharp and almost medicinal. As it settles, warm spices like cinnamon and a hint of green ivy emerge, adding depth. The dry-down brings a comforting sweetness with vanilla, tonka bean, and a subtle, dark fig, creating a complex, almost mulled-wine effect that lingers beautifully.
