How does the raspberry note come across in this fragrance?+−
The raspberry is tart and thick rather than sugary. While some enthusiasts find it to be a realistic, jammy representation of the fruit, others feel it has a slightly medicinal or waxy edge when combined with the woods and tobacco.
Is Fields of Rubus better for daytime or evening?+−
While it is versatile enough for daily use in cooler weather, the community largely favors it for evening wear and leisure. Its earthy tobacco and patchouli base give it a depth that feels particularly suited for nights out.
How does this compare to other fruity-incense scents from Kerosene like Blackmail?+−
Compared to Blackmail, which features a heavy smoke and campfire-vanilla profile, Fields of Rubus is more grounded in earth and wood. It swaps the intense incense for a pungent patchouli and tobacco leaf, making it feel more "orchard-like" than "smoky."
Is this considered a masculine or feminine scent?+−
It is marketed as unisex and is generally viewed as truly androgynous. The sweetness of the plum and raspberry appeals to those who enjoy feminine-leaning fruits, while the cedar, tobacco, and heavy patchouli provide a ruggedness traditional to masculine perfumery.
