Kerosene Fragrances
Kerosene Fragrances is an US indie perfume label founded by John Pegg. John is probably anything but an ordinary perfumer. He comes from Michigan, which is next to the car and working-class city of Detroit, where he grew up and worked in factory buildings. During his work in the factories, he got to know and love the most diverse scents. He has always been fascinated by scents: gasoline, pressed steel, plastic, trees, earth and kerosene. However, his first exposure to perfume was not one of his own creations, it was the time when he was famous for his fragrance reviews on his own YouTube channel. After some time, he didn´t just want to talk about perfumes, he wanted to create his own ones. Since John is from Michigan, where it is cold for about seven months of the year, he was attracted by warmer scents. Amber, woods and spices found their way into his repertoire. He created not only the fragrances, but also the design of the bottles. Each bottle is unique and is painted with high-quality car paint and clearcoat. He describes himself as a simple person, but emphasizes in the same sentence that his fragrances are much different.
