One of my favorite houses. One you didn’t mention that I love is Sweetly Known.

[@someusername4129]

I wore followed last winter and i can still smell it when I open my perfume cabinet. It is the most nuclear fragrance I've ever encountered.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Oh wow it is beast mode. Some people are saying it’s not

[@someusername4129]

​@@ThePerfumeGuythey gotta be nose blind that frag has absolutely insane performance!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

@@someusername4129 yes I agree

[@jailenc6674]

@@ThePerfumeGuyit’s hard for me to smell it kinda like BR540 I think some people can’t smell it that well.

[@t_summers]

Unknown Pleasures and Sweetly Known are my top 2 from the house. Very surprised Sweetly Known didn't land in your top 10. It is incredible

[@tigeygirl]

Nobody ever talked about Unforsaken but it’s been my favorite Kerosene fragrance for years. That sprinkling of coconut on the citrus makes me so happy.

[@someusername4129]

Yes omg it's my favorite too

[@carlosread5887]

I have "Follow" and "Followed" Like them both, and, like you said, Followed lasts longer than any other fragrance I have tried. And that statement, coming from a man that has such a large collection of perfumes, is worth believing. You have inspired me to try "Wood Haven" Thank you for another great video!

[@julitakamaki4386]

Black Vines is my #1 Kerosene. This was made for black licorice and/or star anise fans. Nothing in my collection smells like this fragrance. It’s in my top 5 for life.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Sadly it's discontinued

[@julitakamaki4386]

@@ThePerfumeGuyA foolish thing to do.

[@boogiedaddy3434]

I love John's fragrances. They were the first indie/niche house I really got into. I know everyone loves his gourmands, but I love his dark, smoky, and brooding scents. Blackmail, Fields of Rubus, and Sacred Memory are my faves. So sad he's discontinuing the latter two of those, as well as several others, on September 1st. I'm kind of shocked Fields of Rubus didn't make your list, especially since it has so much lovely patchouli in it. I love it, it blends with the blackberry and raspberry so well.

[@kiki9618]

My top 3, Follow, Unknown Pleasures and Sweetly Known! I love to layer a vanilla favorite on Follow and wear it to work, it’s a nice pick me up!

[@ItsAWonderfulKnife]

I only own Sweetly Known but it's incredible. It's sort of like what I wished MM's By the Fireplace was going to smell like.

[@itsmeaubree8591]

You need to try Sweetly Known 😊

[@velvettrance3173]

Kerosene made me fully realize the value of quality fragrance. I have Unknown Pleasures, WOW it's beautiful, and two sprays, even *one* spray lasts forever! Literally until I shower. Compare that to similarly priced fragrances I have to spray 10 times and they're undetectable in 4 hours. That means this bottle will last me ages and ages. I can't wait to acquire more Kerosene!

[@LauraSloman]

I LOVE Unknown Pleasures! I was so lucky to win a full bottle of my choosing from an IG giveaway of theirs, and Unknown Pleasures was a no-brainer. A shop near me (Chicago) sells decants, so in addition to their discovery set, I have additional decants of Follow, Sweetly Known, Walk the Sea, and Winter of ‘99.

[@l.s.8244]

I love Kerosene, and Unknown Pleasures was my first niche perfume. John posted on his IG stories that as of Sept. 1, the following fragrances are sadly being discontinued: Black Vines, Canfield Cedar, Fields of Rubus, Sacred Memory, Triptych, Unforsaken, and Wood Haven.

[@arriiiaaaa]

Black Vines is my favorite and the ultimate licorice / anise scent. Scent Bar in still sells it.

[@MsRedeye1980]

I am SUCH a huge fan of Unknown Pleasures! It might be my fav gourmand ever. it is perfect in every my imo.

[@janelevey3435]

I love the fragrance, Pretty Machine. It has a beautiful linden blossom note.

[@weatherby1982]

followed is worth every penny...i love how powerful and strong it is one spray and you're done...more fragrances need to be like this.

[@fan6.s]

do you get a curry like smell? I want to buy but every review ive seen has been leading me in different directions

[@weatherby1982]

@@fan6.s i wouldn't say "curry" smell...there is a weird under tone which some people won't like if you over spray ( only one spray is needed)....best thing i can say it get a sample...i get mostly coffee with maple syrup and cream but all our noses are different....it's a bit too expensive to do a blind buy so really test it out..i hope i have helped. :)

[@dantopster]

I’m a fan of this house, and my favorite is Broken Theories. It’s more smoky and less sweet than Blackmail. From the notes I would think this is right up your alley, Seb. Have you tried it?

[@keithohalloran8523]

Followed should come with a hazard warning ⚠️ lol 😂. This juice is so potent you need to spray it outdoors to prevent choking people out. I only purchased a bottle recently and my partner asked me to get rid of it as it’s way too overpowering. Longevity of this on skin 3 days. In a room 2 weeks, on clothes it lasts forever.

[@kaciecummings9866]

Unknown Pleasures is lovely. It pulls a little coconut for me. My husband says it smells kind of like the those Danish butter cookies from the blue tins. Also really enjoy Sweetly Known-- kind of that burnt caramel scent. It kind of reminds me of going to a carnival.

[@AnneHoughton-g5y]

I have Unknown Pleasures and I adore it!

[@phantomplastics6582]

Huge fan - got Walk the Sea, Summer of 84, Unknown Pleasures, Follow, Followed and Black Vines. What an artist! So natural and unique.

[@iuliandanut]

Hello. It's there any differences between Follow and Followed?? Thank you very much.

[@FragranceEmpire]

Really interested in winter of 99 and unknown pleasures

[@brandonhamilton9484]

if you like licorice you need black vines! I got it the day before it got discontinued and then bought a back up bottle.

[@jimr880]

I'm a big fan of Kerosene. My favorite #1 is Broken Theories, which is high underrated and I'm surprised it doesn't generate more buzz in the fragrance community. I have plenty tied for #2. Sadly, my last picked (Winter of 99) didn't really grab my affection. Hopefully I'll feel a bit differently about it in the Fall. Cheers.

[@Mojo8]

Copper Skies sounds very interesting Sebastian as Tobacco is my favorite note, but now you got me hooked on Gin Fragrances 😱😁. What would you say is the brightest from this house, I like Follow which I know is dark and FOLOWED is beyond NUCLEARLOL. Cheers Brutha 😎

[@alvaromate8366]

I love this videos explaining each brand. Thank you!

[@IrregularTangent]

Just ordered followed couple days ago. I think I will acquire a few more from this house. He doesn't have the channel anymore but that bring back memories

[@samiraazzahir9963]

I had a sample of Walk the Sea that was such an intriguing ambergris scent. I bought it only to find it was all white flowers. They smelled so different from each other that i wonder if the formula changed?

[@dirfrops]

I gotta say. When I wear Followed. I WEAR it. I don’t mean choking people out. You only need two sprays. I mean. If I put it on, with two sprays, I make it a point to populate the entire space I’m in. If I go to a grocery store for milk, I walk down every aisle past the most people I see. If I go to a department store, I look for the areas with the lost people, and just do a circuit around them. At the gas pump? I walk to every pump and “examine” the windshield cleaner wands. If Followed was a virus, I would be patient zero. Love that stuff so much. I once got my phone stolen at an amusement park, went to a phone store afterwards. I hadn’t worn Followed for over a month. I pull out my wallet and the customer service rep says, why do I smell waffles and maple syrup? I said, “it’s probably me…I have an everlasting perfume that I haven’t sprayed in over a month, and I think maybe it’s on my wallet (I have never sprayed my walllet with anything). “ She kept smelling it and getting wafts of it and kept just making these eyes like she was constantly getting slapped with the occasional scent. And it does. You smell nothing, then you smell as if you’re in a Waffle House, dennys, ihop. It’s freaking crazy. And yes. It lasts for-freaking-ever. And everyone loves it.

[@MisterGee7]

I'm a huge fan of Kerosene Fragrances, and I have been for years. I currently own Unknown Pleasures, and every time I wear it, it invokes those halcyon moments for me. I'm going to purchase Followed next month, and I can't wait to get it! Great video as always, Sebastian! Cheers!

[@rainbowlanterntarot]

Unknown Pleasures is one of my favorite fragrances of all time. I'm on on my third bottle.

[@Nyx_Nyx]

Love Kerosene, Unknown Pleasures was one of my first niche purchases and never fails to get compliments. Blackmail, Unforsaken, Sweetly Unknown, Follow and Followed are also my favorite list. Followed is just bombastic, I spray two spray on myself but I go outside when applying or my whole house is in danger of being engulfed😂

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it and I like Kerosene follow and im going to try the rest of the brand and have a blessed day

[@AntwanFuzznips]

kerosene has quickly become my favorite house. In my opinion the best fragrances are ones where you can close your eyes and picture yourself in a place where that scent would take you. With Followed, i'm in a cozy diner and i've just been served pancakes and coffee, broken theories, i'm sitting around a smouldering campfire in the woods, walk the sea? i'm on the beach and just put on sunscreen, watching the waves wash over the sand

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Awesome!

[@debrajane7622]

I have both Follow and Unknown Pleasures, thanks to you, Sebastian! I love wearing them!! ❤

[@paris.enigma]

Unknown pleasures, Sweetly Known and Followed are my favourites.

[@khalfani321]

This video is right on time. I’ve been considering going to Ministry of Scent to pick up Follow after watching your previous review and a review by Aaron Terence Hughes. It was so warm in SF today I didn’t want to sample a fall scent😂 I will make it this weekend but now also interested in Winter of 99 so we’ll see which one wins! As always thanks for the wonderful content!!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

You are referring to FOLLOWED or FOLLOW?

[@khalfani321]

@@ThePerfumeGuy Follow, I’m scared of Followed. I’m not the biggest fan of scents that linger that long.

[@jarridsteel6229]

As we spoke about when you were here, I've not smelled any of them but I'm hopeful that one day a boutique here will pick-up the brand and I'll have the opportunity. You mentioned to me how Followed was crazy beast mode. I love the idea of maple syrup as a fragrance, though. I was a bit disappointed by Scents Of Wood Praline In Maple because I wanted more maple. Anyway, cool video. All these fragrances sound pretty good the way you describe them.

[@FatalPitty]

Summer of 84 is literally my birthday

[@timb6366]

My fav for all season wear is Unknown Pleasures and in winter I like a small glancing blow of Followed. I’ve wanted to sample Winter of ‘99…hopefully the store that carries Kerosene around here will have it.

[@RichardBirdsall]

I've been waiting for this video since the Follow video, appreciate the coverage! Unforsaken is one of my wife's favorites, and I love the scent tail of Follow

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@AndraAndra-u7y]

I tested Follow and Unknown Pleasures. The first one was too much for me. I loved the second and bought a full bottle

[@brianelswick7374]

Being a patch ho, I was surprised you didn't mention Fields of Rubis.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I just don't own everything!! :)

[@richardchapital33]

Followed is the yummiest coffee fragrance I own and Dirty Flowers is another banger that reminds me of Amouage’s Opus 9

[@byzero8608]

According to Kerosene's website they are discontinuing several fragrances on September 1st: Triptych, Black Vines, Canfield Cedar, Fields Of Rubus, Sacred Memory, Unforsaken, and Wood Haven.

[@davidarreola1985]

This is a tragedy 😔

[@IliaRox]

Great selection! Loving all your videos

[@gusnyc]

My favorite is Unknown pleasures. That was love at first sniff. I have that in the collection and I like it more than Akro Bake. I like Akro Awake more than Kerosene Follow.

[@joesmellsgood]

I have been staring at followed and a discovery set for a week

[@rachelrezko4229]

I have Unkown Pleasures. It's absolutely amazing. I'm really interested in smelling Summer of '84, Winter of '99, and Follow.

I am in love with FOLLOWED. I need to try more from this house. Bty, the sample pack link seems not working.

[@olesyakoktyan6713]

Seb, great review! Would be also great if you could review ranking or non ranking list for Montale and Mancera vanilla fragrances. These two got at least ten for this beautiful note. Thank you!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Mancera this Saturday. Montale uncertain as of yet! :)

[@CARNELIANTURQUOISE]

Love Mancera fragrances!

[@docm5314]

Yes there’s a list of fragrances they are discontinuing. They’ve posted on IG

[@viggenone]

I got a sample of followed and yes it's nuclear!! I still find Mashumaro stronger but it may be because its sweeter. Still want to try a lot from the brand. Thanks for the List Sebastian!!!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I need to try Mashumaro again but I don't recall it being nuclear on me?

[@docm5314]

LOVE Unknown Pleasures 🤤🤤🤤 Cool out so it’s my SOTD 👍🏻 I do enjoy Triptych but I’ve only had a sample. Been curious about Rubus too

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

It's so good!

[@mahmoudkhalaf8938]

I received followed one month ago and tried only one time I like it from the first sniff but I am afraid of using it again as I couldn't get rid of it last time 😂😂😂😂

[@tristianharvey1787]

Do you think unforsaken is similar to Tom Ford’s Costa Azzurra or Soleil Blanc? I’m considering getting unforsaken before it’s discontinued.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

More like Love Don't Be Shy very distantly.

[@chetandabholkar7489]

i heard lots of Commercial Pilot's using Kerosene..20years back..u know which one is that from out of Ten ?

[@bartoltolic]

Followed sounds so good when people are describing it but I’m kinda scared to buy it because of how strong people say it is. I wouldn’t want to be repulsive to others.

[@jailenc6674]

It’s strong but it’s a light scent profile so it doesn’t ever become overpowering or too strong. It’s basically a insanely projecting fragrance.

[@TheByzmal]

Followed is out of this galaxy. I thought red tobacco & montale black aoud was intense.

[@mattchan3937]

Would love your thoughts on Broken Theory. It’s my favorite from this line

[@ahmedelgezla3113]

I want to explore this brand, I never tried any of their fragrances

[@boogiedaddy3434]

They have some really good stuff. It's an interesting house because he seems to do two primary types of scents: crazy strong gourmands and dark, smoky woods. So, if you like either of those families of fragrances, he's got you covered. I prefer the dark and woody stuff, but everything he makes is top-tier quality.

[@banturete1]

which is much better about the smell, follow or followed and which stay much longer follow or followed?

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I like Follow more for smell, I like Followed for longevity! :)

[@originalboxelder]

They are discontinuing 6 or 7 fragrances. I also noticed that their logo on the website is different so maybe a new collection is coming, or they are just scaling down the business. I was interested in R’Oud Elements from the brand. It was the first fragrance he created and he says it’s still his favorite. Didn’t make the list so not sure if you don’t have it or just don’t like it.

[@TheBushara]

I was expecting that you will be talking about their performances in general like you talked about 'Followed', are they good performers? But thanks Seb for the video ❤

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I only talk about performance when they are overwhelmingly intense. Otherwise they perform moderate. So best to get samples and test yourself. To me some are intense but when I say that then someone says they don't last. Best to test how they perform on you but I know FOLLOWED is overwhelming! :)

[@kavitasingh1459]

Any chance you could do a video on Broken Theories from Kerosene? I am very curious. It has my favourite note Incense :)

[@jenniferocampo3873]

Does Unknown Pleasure compare do Xerjoff Lira?

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Similar ideas but UP has the lemon tartness compared to the sweetness of the Orange. I find lemons and oranges to be quite different. So once you get past that you might find them similar.

[@TheByzmal]

Do they ship to Canada?

Off topic. Just opened my full bottle of Jazz Club. I can see solids at the bottom (not a lot) about the amount of a few grains of sand. Juice seems to smell right. Should I be worried? Amazon being Amazon gave me a refund for it and let me keep it. Thoughts?

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I think it's fine just like wine there's residue collected in the bottom of the bottle. If it smells fine it should be good to go. But if you are concerned contact your retailer and tell them! :)
