Unknown Pleasures brings to mind a stroll down a cold street in Manchester, England listening to Joy Division, sipping on a warm cup of London Fog. The fragrance opens up with the smooth sweetness of honey and Earl Grey tea, with a zing of lemon. It dries down to a cozy vanilla, soft tonka bean and waffle cone base, sure to make any gourmand lover smile.
NOTES: Earl Grey tea, lemon, bergamot, honeycomb, tonka bean, caramel, vanilla and waffle cone

A king of gourmands
You could waste your time reading comments, or cut to the chase and get a bottle. I'd recommend the latter!

UNKNOWN PLEASURES
It opens very strongly, smells more like a key lime pie, It is much more tart than I imagine lemon to be, imagine like honey and lime/lemon zest. After the dry down isn't much Earl Grey to me, but I can detect very strong creamy, almost coconut-y undertones under the honey and lemon. In comparison to the description, it really smells more like a very tart artificial lemon, with a hint of honey and subtle notes of vanilla and caramel every so often. It is a very sweet perfume, and I am a big fan of gourmand, but personally disappointed that the Earl Grey and bergamot vanilla aren't the strongest notes.

FINALLY HAD TO GET A FULL BOTTLE of this yellow lemon sweet sunshine.
I believe I have ordered three or four samples of Kerosene's Unknown Pleasures from IndieScents. This time, though, I had to purchase a full bottle. I am head-over-heels in love with this one. It not only puts a smile on my face, it does this with everyone around me. I have been asked numerous times what I am wearing when I'm in Unknown Pleasure. Glad to have Kerosene's UP in my collection. Top-notch juice!

Sunshine on a Cloudy Day
Unknown Pleasures may be my favorite Kerosene fragrance. It's a lovely and uplifting gourmand that alternates between smelling like lemonade and waffles. I catch occasional whiffs of tea, but it quickly drifts away. With the days getting colder, I've been trying to wear cheerful scents. This perfume is the equivalent of sunshine, rainbows and happiness. There's citrus, sugar and pastries, but it's never offensive and somehow radiates warmth throughout wear. A delightful sensory experience!
