    This is not the Kerosene you might expect. It trades stamped steel for honeyed sweetness without losing its edge. Black tea keeps it honest.Unknown Pleasures
    The cola note is unexpected, a fizzy sweetness that shouldn't pair so well with dark resinous wood, but the combination works. This is for the person who wants fragrance to feel like a conversation.Oud Soda
