Copper Skies Kerosene for women and men

Great review to the poster above. He basically summed it up. I also think this fragrance is very nice. Its like ambre sultan but more appealing. Ambre sultan sometimes reminds me of some kind of aged or rotted coffin at times lol. It is very resinous.. whereas keroseens maintains the integrity of the amber note but blending it into a very smooth and creamy concoction. This isn't a typical vanilla amber as stated above, but I get some spices, almost a cinnamon type feel mixing with the amber and honey. It is well done, well crafted and I think everyone should definitely try this scent even if you aren't a huge amber fan.

The House of Kerosene is a fairly young house, the perfumer himself is a fairly young man, you would even ask "what makes this guy think he has what it takes". Once you put your nose on his three offerings, you may ask "why didn't this guy start years ago"

Fragrance Bros, gave a nice and honest review of R'Oud Kerosene's freshman offer, I will do this one, one of his sophmore offerings the other being Creature.

This is a somewhat medicinal amber based fragrance in the vein of Ambre Sultan, but a bit sweeter in the opening, there also seems to have a coffe vibe, but this could be a mixture of notes just playing a trick on the nose.

When you first spray this the clove, beeswax and amber are heir apparent here. The cloves are providing a nice medicinal vibe but the beeswax is taming it down, preventing it from having an opening say like Musc Ravageur (so no need to be afraid here), the amber is thick and a tad smokey, but the beeswax and clove prevent it from dominating the fragrance thus amber haters may still want to visit this fragrance.

There are woodsy undertones and to be honest the tobacco is so subtle and quiet that it play a little part here. It comes off as almost a nice baked gingerbread gourmand, both herbal (basil and cloves) and sweet only approaching a foody like aroma but never touching the line.

I would say it is relatively sweet so if you don't like sweet fragrances (signficantly less sweeter than say New Haarlem, or maybe sweet in a different way)that are amber based you may not like this. If you are a fan of Sultan or Ambre 114 or Ambre Precieux you may like this one quite a bit. I would actually put it middle of the road between say Sultan and maybe Chergui on the sweet scale.

The longevity is SUPERB!!! I asked how long he said 6-8 hours I have worn it 5 times and it is at least 10-12 hours on my skin, it doesn't even get close to the skin, my wife smelled it 12 hours later (as she told me to wash it off LOL). The projecting with about 4 sprays out of an atomizer would be a 8 out of 10 maybe more. She is not quiet unless you do one to the front of the neck. Anything over two and you will be noticed 4 and you are making a statement.

The sillage is also superb. This is a performer for those who like to say something with their fragrances though this could be curbed with less sprays. As a fan of amber, who likes it sweetned (and instead of using vanilla like everyone else it is spicy and honeyed) this was an easy 5/5. My first impression was very positive on skin she sung to me.

I don't know what Kerosene has in store for us but R'Oud is really good. Creature is terrific and this gem is CLASSIC. I will have this as long as it is manufactured!
