Unforsaken

Unforsaken by Kerosene is a gourmand floral with a radiant citrus opening that quickly transforms into a creamy, powdery blend of orange blossom, jasmine, coconut, and vanilla. It opens with a bright burst of clementine, yuzu, and tangerine, harmonized with benzoin and a subtle ginger spark, creating an initially sharp but mellowing experience. The heart reveals a lush, slightly soapy white floral core dominated by orange blossom and jasmine, with a natural coconut presence that avoids tropical clichés. As it dries down, the fragrance settles into a smooth, dry vanilla-amber base with a trace of tonka bean, offering a refined, elegant gourmand profile that maintains its charm without veering into cloying sweetness. Longevity is moderate, with most describing it as fading within a few hours, though some report up to six hours. Sillage is moderate to strong, ensuring a noticeable presence. While many appreciate its airy quality and balancing bitterness from ginger and citrus, some find it too thin or unbalanced, with a persistent soap-like or cooling sensation that can feel artificial or overwhelming to sensitive noses. It’s particularly admired as a uniquely unisex, wearable summer scent for those who enjoy a well-blended, fresh gourmand without the heaviness of other tropical fragrances.
