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 warm spicy-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.

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.

About

Sweetly Known opens with a powerful cardamom blast, swiftly joined by the intoxicating depth of burnt sugar and gooey caramel. As it settles, hints of cacao and creamy vanilla emerge, all underpinned by a soft, musky warmth. Imagine a spiced, dark dessert with a wonderfully charred edge.
