Kerosene Broken Theories is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2015, created by John Pegg. Broken Theories settles into a heart of Spicy, Tobacco, and Incense. Kerosene's Broken Theories carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This is a seriously polarising scent, but if you're into heavy, smoky incense and tobacco, Broken Theories could be your new signature. It's a challenging wear for some, a rich, comforting masterpiece for others. Definitely one to sample first.

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

With its beast-mode projection and longevity, Broken Theories is far too intense for office wear. It shines on a date, creating an intriguing aura, and is suitable for casual wear if you're looking to make a statement. Its smoky, heavy nature makes it less ideal for formal settings or sports.

About

Boldly opening with a rich, smoky incense and spiced tobacco, Broken Theories plunges you into a dark, contemplative space. Hints of a sophisticated oud and warm, resinous amber weave through, providing depth and a touch of sweetness that balances an otherwise intense profile. The drydown settles into a comforting, woody vanilla, with the smoky elements lingering like a distant bonfire. Complex and long-lasting.
