   For a 2013 release, Unknown Pleasures deserves more attention than it gets. The heart is the best part for me: Lemon and Caramel feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Lemon with Caramel comes forward — smooth and well done. It wears beautifully in the office; I can still catch it on my scarf at the end of the day. A solid addition for anyone who enjoys this style.

   For a 2013 release, Unknown Pleasures deserves more attention than it gets. Give it a little time and Lemon with Caramel comes forward — smooth and well done. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Lemon with Caramel, which is where the fragrance really shines. The trail is there if someone steps close, not across the room. Pleasant, though I would not call it essential.

   Everyone keeps talking about Unknown Pleasures, so I finally gave it a proper test. The heart is the best part for me: Lemon and Caramel feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Lemon with Caramel comes forward — smooth and well done. Three sprays last me most of the day without ever becoming cloying. I can see this getting a lot of wear in my collection.

   A couple of wears in, Unknown Pleasures has really grown on me. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Lemon with Caramel, which is where the fragrance really shines. The heart is the best part for me: Lemon and Caramel feel carefully balanced. It wears beautifully in the office; I can still catch it on my scarf at the end of the day. This has earned a permanent spot in my rotation.

   Kerosene knows how to compose, and Unknown Pleasures (2013) is proof. Give it a little time and Lemon with Caramel comes forward — smooth and well done. The heart is the best part for me: Lemon and Caramel feel carefully balanced. In cooler weather it sits closer to the skin, which I actually prefer here. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

   A couple of wears in, Unknown Pleasures has really grown on me. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Lemon with Caramel, which is where the fragrance really shines. Give it a little time and Lemon with Caramel comes forward — smooth and well done. After a few hours it becomes a soft skin scent with a lovely trail. A very likeable composition that is easy to appreciate.

   I have owned Unknown Pleasures for a while now and my opinion has only gotten stronger. The heart is the best part for me: Lemon and Caramel feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Lemon with Caramel comes forward — smooth and well done. It projects politely for a couple of hours, then stays close and cosy. I enjoy it when I wear it, yet I rarely think of reaching for it.

   I’ve been wearing Unknown Pleasures on and off for a few weeks now (2013). The heart is the best part for me: Lemon and Caramel feel carefully balanced. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Lemon with Caramel, which is where the fragrance really shines. It wears beautifully in the office; I can still catch it on my scarf at the end of the day. Well done — recommended if the notes appeal to you.

   Everyone keeps talking about Unknown Pleasures, so I finally gave it a proper test. Give it a little time and Lemon with Caramel comes forward — smooth and well done. The heart is the best part for me: Lemon and Caramel feel carefully balanced. I get about four to six hours before it turns into a skin scent. A solid addition for anyone who enjoys this style.
