What do reviewers say about Broken Theories and Night Narcotic?
This one doesn't wait for permission. It's bold, dark, and unapologetically smoky, exactly what you'd expect from a Kerosene release. Eight to ten hours of longevity means you're wearing this through.Broken Theories
The opening is confrontational. Herbal, almost medicinal citrus that some people love and some people need to wait through. But that tobacco-to-oud drydown is where Night Narcotic earns its name.Night Narcotic
