The nose behind this fragrance is John Pegg.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePromises, Promises by Kerosene \u003c\/strong\u003eis a vanilla-centric fragrance that combines the warmth of amber and the softness of musk. This Eau de Parfum offers a comforting and enduring scent experience.While the notes list might sound like a generic vanilla, we know better than to expect generic from Kerosene, and Promises, Promises stands out by pairing the same sweet, caramelized vanilla of Unknown Pleasures and Sweetly Known with an unlisted but prominent ribbon of smoky, spicy incense that creates an almost savory gourmand profile. While it's still potent and long lasting enough to feel like a true Kerosene, it's also just a touch softer than the others mentioned above, making it one of the more appealingly versatile scents in the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKerosene Promises promises Reviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica - \u003c\/strong\u003eI know a lot of people get vanilla icing from this, but I get almost a dark, smokey, hot tea, bonfire scent. I absolutely love it and I think this may end up being one of my main fall scenes, but I feel like maybe I'm processing it differently than many other people!!! Still, unbelievable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e \"I love this so, so much. it's a deep, resiny, syrupy, spicy vanilla that dries down into something almost reminiscent of bubblegum (at least on me). I want to sample blackmail since I've heard that they're similar in dry down, but I just really adore this. Top contender for my fall\/winter signature, but the more I sample it, the more I think I could wear this any day, every day, all year round.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica - \u003c\/strong\u003e\"I've never ordered a full bottle as fast... A sample from Lucky Scent arrived today and while it wasn't love at first sniff, Promises, Promises grew on me over a space of an hour and then I was fully sold. I knew Kerosene + Vanilla would be magical.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e \"I first got an animalic note which took me by surprise. So glad it's listed in the notes here or I was imagining things. Then I realised this is in line with raw vanilla. If you've ever split open a vanilla pod then you'll be familiar with that slight animalic funk. That raw vanilla stays for a while and then the sweet, smoky vanilla comes through. The dry down is definitely sweeter but it's no where near as sweet as the usual suspects of the vanilla world.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePromises, Promises \u003c\/strong\u003ecould be called the cousin of \u003cstrong\u003eSweetly Known\u003c\/strong\u003e but there's no cardamom or burnt match. You can own both without feeling like you've wasted funds, I feel. Especially as Promises, Promises dries down, I find it a lovely, comforting fragrance to take to bed. If your idea of vanilla leans towards extreme gourmand (Escapade Gourmand, Tihota, Bianco Latte or anything Jousset) then yes, you may be disappointed by Promises, Promises. For me, it's a unique take on vanilla and probably the first where I've likened it to an actual vanilla pod as opposed to an edible vanilla item.  Like most Kerosene frags, performance is great. Can't wait to play around with it more tomorrow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica - \u003c\/strong\u003e\"If Lucifer wore a fragrance, this would be it. Dry. Sweet. Smoldering. On first spray I'm hit in the face with a lovely assortment of robust resinous incenses like myrrh and frankincense, all supported by a dry, powdered, and sweet vanillic, musky backbone. Then as it dries down, and for a majority of the fragrance, the vanilla gets sweeter and begins to costar and fight for dominance with the smoky and thick incenses, all the while a fuzzy and sexy musk ties it all together with a lovely bow. Eventually, it settles into its final stage as mostly vanilla focused fragrance, with slight smoky and musky nuances, very reminiscent to the far dry down of \"Sweetly Known\" by the house as well.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e \"I am a huge fan of John's work, and I truly believe that he followed through on his promise to make an amazing vanilla perfume. And while I do think there are hints and nods to his previous work - \"Sweetly Known\"- this takes it away from the cozy, caramel drizzled, seductively spicy, and ever so slightly sultry feel to a dry and resinous vanilla that would make an excellent addition to anyone looking for a day to day vanilla they could wear pretty much anywhere. Don't get me wrong though, this is still very very sexy, but in a more subtle, cunning way than most other popular syrupy or brown sugar vanillas on the market right now. Very well done.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -  \u003c\/strong\u003e\"A fantastic dry, musky, resinous, and slightly smoky vanilla that's casual, professional, and sexy all at the same time. As many below me have stated, a fantastic vanilla in a the sea of redundancy that is vanilla focused fragrances.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica - \u003c\/strong\u003e\"This is beautiful! This smells like the common denominator between practically all of Kerosene's gourmands with an added spiced balsamic amber. It reminds me of melting down brown sugar for a dessert recipe in a log cabin in a snowstorm. This is heavily reminiscent of Kerosene's Winter of '99, just without the nutmeg. The amber is dry and arid yet resinous and thick. There is a distinct smoky wood quality to this that really adds extra depth to a fragrance with a pretty simplistic note lineup. For anyone who knows kerosene, specifically their gourmands, it goes without saying that the performance is excellent on this. Great sillage and great longevity. This isn't anything that doesn't exist already, but Promises, Promises showcases the backbone of Kerosene's beloved gourmands in a crowd-pleasing yet deep and unusual vanilla amber. This is going to be FANTASTIC in the colder weather. 8.5\/10!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica - \u003c\/strong\u003e\"Were Tihota and Fire at Will to commit arson together, you'd get Promises Promises. It's a beautiful smoldering vanilla... This is not for sugary-vanilla gourmand lovers (though the sweet airy traces exist), this is THE vanilla for amber feigns.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica -\u003c\/strong\u003e \"I love this. I've always been anti-vanilla but this transcends that sympathy. Blackmail is my tried and true scent, and I'm currently wearing Promises, Promises layered over it. It's strong, there's no hiding that it's a musky, ambery vanilla, but it's exactly what I wanted from Kerosene. Some have been complaining that it's not sugary enough, or too spicy, but I believe that's what makes this vanilla both unique and tolerable.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrantica - \u003c\/strong\u003e\"If you enjoy Indult Tihota, this is the type of perfume that you will want to drown yourself in. Complaints of the lack of vanilla should be ignored by other commenters. This perfume exudes sophisticated fluffy fuzzy vanilla with a heavy dosing of soft plush approachable musk. The amber seems to be holding the two chained to the skin as if they are both about to float away. The aura you get is not unlike the one you get with Tihota, just a bit creamier and deeper. Notes of spices drift in the background, but do not overtake the composition adding a touch of depth that reveals itself upon dry down. Huge win in my book and a great addition to the brand. Its clear the inspiration that was taken and I am a happy to have this in my collection.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kerosene","offers":[{"title":"1 ML - Glass Sample Vial","offer_id":44767809994913,"sku":"KerosenePromises-1","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 ML - Glass Spray in a 2 ML Atomizer","offer_id":46216976728225,"sku":"KerosenePromises-1S","price":5.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":44767809896609,"sku":"KerosenePromises-2","price":9.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":44767809863841,"sku":"KerosenePromises-3","price":14.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":44767809798305,"sku":"KerosenePromises-5S","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 ML - Glass Roll On","offer_id":44767809929377,"sku":"KerosenePromises-5R","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":44767809831073,"sku":"KerosenePromises-8","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 ML - Glass Spray","offer_id":44767809962145,"sku":"KerosenePromises-15","price":70.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1993\/6689\/files\/KerosenePromises.jpg?v=1737148617","url":"https:\/\/theperfumedcourt.com\/products\/kerosenepromises","provider":"The Perfumed Court","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
