Kerosene

Kerosene is an independent perfume label created by Michigan perfumer John Pegg, launched in the early 2010s with a hands-on, small-batch ethos. The brand is often associated with rich, unapologetically bold styles—smoky, gourmand, resinous, or industrial-tinged—balanced with surprising wearability. Many releases lean into vivid themes and strong performance, making Kerosene a favorite among enthusiasts who like distinctive scents that still feel approachable.
