Kerosene Unforsaken is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by John Pegg. Kerosene's Unforsaken carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A divisive citrus gourmand that oscillates between creamy orange dessert and '80s car air freshener. It's unique, polarising, and often compared to summer lotions. You'll either love its eccentric charm or find it an acquired taste.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

Its strong sillage and gourmand-leaning profile make it less suitable for formal or office settings, where it might be too prominent. It excels in casual, daytime wear, particularly in warmer weather, and its playful character makes it an interesting choice for dates.

About

Unforsaken opens with an intense blast of bright clementine and yuzu, sharply zesty and invigorating. This quickly mellows, allowing sweet tangerine and airy orange blossom to emerge, weaving through a creamy coconut and vanilla heart. A subtle kick of ginger adds warmth, preventing it from becoming overly saccharine, while tonka bean and benzoin ground the experience in a soft, musky embrace, reminiscent of a comforting, slightly spiced dessert. The fragrance evolves on skin, transitioning from fresh citrus to a warmer, more powdery gourmand.
