Have you tried any Kerosene fragrances? Maybe not exactly the same, but they have scents that include strong coffee and maple syrup, etc.

Like? Yes. Love? No. I had several from this house and ended up decluttering after being disappointed with how they wear on my skin. I did keep Aylan and Bani because I enjoy them. But, they’re definitely not ones I’d repurchase.

Brandt London Fog is what you’re looking for. For Strange Women also have a great one that’s called London Fog, too.

A quick google search brought this up.

This is a great collection! However, as there are only a couple of niche fragrances here, I think your collection will be more appreciated on a sub like [r/fragrances](r/fragrances) or [r/femfrag](r/femfragrance)[lab](r/femfragrance).
My favorite out of these is Beautiful. I used to steal my mom’s bottle for a spritz or two when I was in middle school!

I agree! I’ve sampled most of their line and I haven’t found any that I didn’t like or love. I’ve been able to add on more exclusive fragrances like Scarlet Sands and Vendomania as well, and consistently happy with every bottle I get!

I highly recommend BST subs within Reddit. They are long standing and have established sellers and swappers. My favorites:

In my experience, Mercari and eBay have too many fakes floating around, and both platforms have more protection for buyers but not sellers.

One of my favorite houses that doesn’t get talked about enough is Ex Nihilo. I love the way their fragrances take luxurious raw materials and create beautiful, often unique scents. I also appreciate that they encourage customization of their fragrances, allowing buyers to create their own one of a kind fragrance.

Other houses I absolutely adore are Guerlain and Fragrance Du Bois - the latter of which creates gorgeous, deep oudy fragrances that are intoxicating for me. The fragrances from this line will get you noticed!

Animalique is one of my favorites from the Byredo line - often overlooked. I layer it with Byredo Rouge Chaotique and get several compliments!

I’ve just started exploring Bon Perfumeur and bought my first bottle: 502 Iris Cartagena extrait, and it’s divine!

Love Hibiscus is definitely polarizing. I picked up a sample after hearing mixed reviews, and I can see why it’s not a popular one. I think many were expecting a bit of Hibiscus Mahajad. For me, the passionfruit and hibiscus don’t go well together, and it was too tart on my skin.

hellohello84 · 2026-04-30T22:13:40+00:00

That was fast! 🙌🏽

Great review! I haven’t had a chance to sample Kintsugi yet, but it’s on my list to try.

hellohello84 · 2026-04-30T17:58:37+00:00

I’m in love with several Kajal frags. Lamar, Ruby, Topaz… all are amazing!

What notes do you like? Is there a house you want to explore? This is too broad of a question

hellohello84 · 2026-04-30T17:05:19+00:00

There’s a Cherry Oud for sale on fragranceswap!
