Kerosene
FIELDS OF RUBUS
I like it. It's raspberry and patch at first, and the drydown is a simple vanilla and patch combo. I personally did not get the complexity perhaps I should have, but the fragrance was very pleasant nonetheless. The patch here is dry and dusty, not musty and wet, not medicinal at all. The raspberry smells natural, not like Torani syrup nor cough medicine. I would put this in the category of L'Artisan's patchouli with a bit more going on. Nice, and smells natural.

UNKNOWN PLEASURES
This is the absolute BEST gourmand I have tried in a long time! I kind of got over gourmands some time ago. The only one I really wear these days is 1969. But a whiff of the nozzle of Unknown Pleasures had me hooked. Actually I thought it smelled like smooth, creamy, sandalwood. When I sprayed it on my skin, I don't know about tea, caramel, and waffle cones--it was 100% pure lemon meringue pie. It is so realistically gourmand that I almost didn't buy it. But the creamy sandalwood-like note did me in. I had been looking for a perfume to wear when I take my daughter on our weekly outing to the zoo, and this is definitely it! On top of smelling absolutely delectable, it does not cause me to have massive frontal headaches and does not get my asthma going, which is not the norm for perfumes anymore. So I'm not sure if they use a good amount of naturals in it, but I feel safe wearing it around my young child because of the lack of symptoms I associate with all the chemicals in perfumes, which is a huge bonus.
