Description

A decadent dessert sprinkled with warm coconut shavings and topped with cool clementine slices. They will be drawn near, as vanilla cream and tonka beans envelope the air. There are times you may want to be tasted, and not forgotten, nor forsaken.

Unforsaken was launched in 2015. The nose behind this fragrance is John Pegg.

    Like most Kerosene perfumes, this one starts off with a blast in your face. Tons of citrus and is dominant for the first 30 mins or so. Then, I start to smell something like corn meal, like corn bread!!! Way in the background, I get a hint of some sort of fury animal, like a cat maybe. There is also a bit of jasmine and some sort of crushed nuts.
    I need to live with this one longer, but this just may be bottle worthy.
    For me, all Kerosene frags need a ‘break-in’ period.
    So my opinion may change either way…

    Even though tiare isn’t listed among the notes, that’s what I get most from Unforsaken. After the cheerful citrus opening, it transforms to a delightful tropical mix of vanilla and tiare.

    ….and a definite no for those that neroli forward fragrances are over neroli’d and make them gag from sweetness and plastic. That is a note I can smell a mile away. My nose doesn’t like it :o( but it does love orange blossom. Odd. And this definitely smells like Sweet Redemption. I have it and it is almost a 100% dupe.

    Such a gorgeous gem by the house of Kerosene is a sweet fragrance that comes with a blast of citrusy orange with added neroli note that takes the place soon after 15 minutes…
    I found it very intoxicating and kept sniffing my arm every now and then..
    There is that gourmandish feel with amazing neroli which doesnt make perfume obnoxious and sweetness overload.
    Must try if you like diff take on Neroli..
    Superb i would say
    Lasting is like 8 hours consistent with projection till 2 feets.!!

    Pretty disappointed I expected something much more food/gourmandish. But really I just got a orange blossom/neroli sorta soap bomb. So pretty boring to me. Maybe a slight creamsickle in the background but really overpowered by soap smell.
    Where as take something like I dunno lets say By Kilians love. Its got that sorta colored pastal marshmallow smell, and the orange blossom/neroli sorta soap is in the background. But just enough to keep it deceptively fresh. Where as this, well… Its mostly just the soap, very little deliciousness if any at all to me period.
    Anyway ummm ya… Smells like soap. Meh~ for me.

    Sammy, dude it sounds so personal. Everybody I know really likes the kerosene line. My friends range in age 16 to 74. Hmmm. This is one most of my peeps favor. I just ordered it and I know my girls will be popping buy for a spirtz. We love the way the coconut is presented, a light floral breeze, a bit of ginger spice with a powdery vanilla. Liked by males and females

    Scent – creamy orange blossom.
    Season/Time of Day – I prefer to use this one in the colder months, day or night.
    Projection – I did get noticed, it garners compliments.
    Longevity – I get 12hrs consistently

    After Unknown Pleasures this is the second Kerosene fragrance I’ve sampled, and although I don’t love it quite as much I think this one is great as well. I can also definitely discern the family likeness (or trademark features): they’re not much alike, but they share the same quality that I can only describe as “powerfully dense” – they’re both very pronounced, very distinctive – and, at least in my eyes, very good.
    Unforsaken open withs a very nice blast of pure fresh and juicy citrus, but blink and you’ll miss it: within a minute, the orange blossom starts to come out and take over. It dominates all the way through for me, and it’s the kind that can smell pretty soapy at times – so to me this is more of a floral scent than a gourmand one. At first the orange blossom mixes with the other opening notes to form an almost candied citrus scent, which I think is especially lovely: it’s my favourite phase. It’s nowhere near edible, but delicious nonetheless, and that’s the way it continues. After an hour or two the other floral notes, the musk and the coconut come into play more, making for a warmer, more “perfumey” scent with a little spiciness to it. This phase lasts for hours and hours and it’s also pretty wonderful, never losing the focus on the orange blossom, which is a lot less soapy and bright at this point, and instead warmer, more powdery and more comfortable. In the late drydown there’s that familiar powdery vanilla scent where so many (almost-) gourmands end up. Unforsaken doesn’t last as long as Unknown Pleasures (which can keep going for days on your skin and for weeks on your clothes), but it’ll take you through an entire day without problems. Sillage is just right: I’m conscious of it all day without being afraid of scaring other people off with my scent trail. As others have mentioned I think this can be worn year-round, except maybe on the hottest summer days.
    So I really like this one; I don’t think my very small decant will be the last I ever see of Unforsaken, and it’s only made me more curious about the other scents from Kerosene.

    The citrus-peel oils really hit the nose at first blast! A bit harsh and jarring, actually… and then… as these subside (which they are wont to do), very-prominent petitgrain takes over which I find rather pleasant alongside the white florals- nice blending in the upper heart. The neroli is lilting and the tuberose nice and creamy, but I question the quality of the jasmine chosen for this composition- it seems a bit monotone to my nose. Aside from that, the lactonic tones accentuating the tuberose in the lower heart is quite nice… the hint of eugenol is intriguing and I almost missed it… I’m sensing a well-structured base beneath everything- also very good blending- the coumarin is barely discernable, adding a sweet, clover-like effect and warming the play between amber and musk. Do I smell vanilla or do I not? Honestly I’m not sure… John’s potential for great subtlety really comes through in the base… I have a feeling he spent quite some time tinkering with it. Overall, a simple but decently-executed composition with just a few rough edges focused at the top- but I must say that, as the first Kerosene fragrance I’ve sampled and with the knowledge that John is just beginning, I’m actually impressed, and believe that we will be seeing some great things from him in the future.
    Definitely a strong “like”.

    To me, Unforsaken smells like dried coconut with an orange creamsicle. It is very much a gourmand but is not sickly sweet. It is a linear scent with moderate sillage and longevity. The drydown for me is dry, unsweetened coconut that smells very natural. Although I enjoy this scent and find it fun, I do get a bit tired of it by the end of the day. I am content with a decant of Unforsaken for now.

    I really thought I’d like this based on all the positive reviews but I’ve tried my sample several times and I’m disappointed. I guess what I imagined was a tropical dessert: milky, creamy coconut pudding scented with orange flower water and garnished with some orange and ginger zest.
    It’s really quite true to the listed notes but something about the blending, proportions, and maybe the use of certain synthetics make for a not-so-smooth experience. It opens with the citrus and coconut and the white florals emerge. Orange blossom is the most prominent to my nose. And it’s of the soapy type found in Tom Ford Neroli Portofino. I am really put off by lasting soapiness in perfume and it persists on me in this fragrance. To me it smells like I layered the Tom Ford over coconut tanning oil. It has a decidedly beachy feel rather than the tropical dessert vibe I was going for. The far drydown was more pleasurable with hints of coconut, vanilla, and a dash of ginger. It’s sweet but not cloying. I actually prefer Bath and Body Works Coconut Lime Verbena lotion to this fragrance. I can see its appeal and may give it another shot, but I don’t see myself wearing this one.

    Smells a bit like hard candies that have been sitting in a dish too long. Too much citrus and vanilla.

    Slightly creamy, dry and rich orange, ginger, jasmine, and toasted nutty coconut.   Not a sunscreen-y coconut but it’s also not gourmand, it’s more like a luxe sweet scented powder than a sweet dessert. Tonka is well represented and under voted.
    It’s dense, powdery, very dry and lasts 10 hours at least, I love it!

    Words can’t describe the feeling I get with this fragrance. To say Phenomenal would be a understatement Lol. Truly though another sweet trail for me to follow. Enjoying the development on the dry down and catching myself nose to wrist way to frequently 🙂 if your looking for something sweet yet captavating I do recommend. Scale from 1 to 10 an easy 8 🙂

    LOVE.
    First spray opens up very citrus orange. Very similar to the scent of peeling a sweet orange – the smell of the oils and moisture within the rind spraying out. Other reviewers have said it has a “sharp opening.” I wouldn’t call it “sharp” per se, rather more akin to a very crisp aromatic citrus and a very light hint of ginger. This is really the only time I smell ginger in the perfume. It quickly has a creamy powdery vanilla to it that mellows the opening citrus orange oil zesty aroma…and the scent becomes a very dominant, very sweet orange that has a very subtle natural coconut.
    Behind the very sweet orange, a light creamy very natural coconut sits mixed with vanilla. The vanilla is very nice. It is lightly perfumey, almost powdery. I don’t think I would call it ‘makeupy powder.’ It is better than that. I want to say it is slightly similar to the powdery accord that is in APOM (however the orange in APOM is not as sweet nor creamy as Unforsaken). I also want to add that the sweetness, benzoin and sweet orange notes in this remind me a lot of By Kilian Sweet Redemption. Not exactly like Sweet Redemption but definitely a similarity.
    The coconut in this scent, like I said, very natural. It is not a candy sweet coconut or overly pronounced at all.
    As the scent wears the dominant orange becomes sweeter, but it begins to give way to more pronounced coconut. It blends beautifully with the scent giving it just a hint of a tropical note without ever becoming a suntan scent or overtly tropical at all. It sort of skims the line between being a lovely creamy light coconut cream with candied orange dessert and almost a tropical scent, all the while being a refined, classy, beautifully elegant perfume.

    This is a great blended fragrance. Although it is not really for me and a little too feminine, I can appreciate the artwork and blending in this. I get a lot of florals mixed in with a little bit of coconut and a nice citrus tone in the beginning. It is very well blended and very smooth. And excellent fragrance

    Unforsaken smells like orange dreamsicle–very realistic and not the least bit chemically. I find it quite sweet, although not unpleasant. I wouldn’t buy a whole bottle of it, but I’ll probably use up the sample that I have.

    Imagine smelling a cake with vanilla frosting, coconut shavings on top and surrounded by neroli flowers. That’s what I get from this. Although it opens with a slightly harsh flowery coconut vibe, it takes only a couple of minutes for the scent to smoothen out. Exceptionally well done fragrance that is certainly good for date nights. Spring, early Fall and cool Summer night kind of a fragrance.

    A tangy, citric white floral. Opening: sharp, nearly acidic orange blossom (maybe even petitgrain), zero sweetness. Overall, a lot heavier on the jasmine/orange blossom than I had imagined- I’d categorize this as a white floral over a gourmand. Still, I do enjoy imagining the pulp of the yuzu citrus over the horizon, though my nose is distracted by the needle sharp bergamot accord. Is there jasmine in this fragrance? I smell a heady, lush bouquet of jasmine, vying for attention alongside the orange blossom. I was looking for the tonka beans and vanilla, but have yet to encounter any tinge of coumarin or the nutty roasted waft of tonka beans. Vanilla is present far later in the dry down, though I’d have teased it out stronger if I could. This white floral perfume is a lot more delicate than Unknown Pleasures, but the sharp citrus accords reveal it easy to identify as coming from the same perfumer. As a gourmand aficionado, I’d hardly call this a gourmand. You must love jasmine, but more so, the notion of rolling in fields of orange blossom must leave you enchanted (as it does for myself). I am partial to Kerosene as I have three of his scents, but my bottle of Unknown Pleasures wins over this one. PS. This is the scent that is most likely to have your non-perfumista friends cringing their nose and start chanting, “smells perfumey!”
