Kerosene 2020 EDP
Sweetly Known
by John Pegg
Kerosene Sweetly Known is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by John Pegg. Sweetly Known opens with Cardamom, settles into a heart of Cacao Pod, Burnt Sugar, and Caramel, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vanilla. Kerosene's Sweetly Known carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.
This is a seriously polarising gourmand that you'll either adore beyond words or recoil from, smelling like 'spicy ants' or 'soy sauce'. A beastly-performing, utterly unique scent, Kerosene Sweetly Known is unapologetically bold and not for the faint of heart.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Best Occasions
Its nuclear projection and intense gourmand profile make Sweetly Known entirely unsuitable for the office or sport. It's a fantastic choice for a unique date night or cosy casual wear, but might be too overwhelming for formal events due to its divisive nature.
