With Angels and Archangels: Kerosene's New Wood Scent

Kerosene has released its latest fragrance, With Angels and Archangels, a woody oriental scent for both men and women, launched in 2026. Created by John Pegg, it offers a deep, smoky, and spiritual character.

The fragrance includes charcoal, incense, rose, cedar, sandalwood, and musk. These elements create a contrast between the dark and the light, as the name implies.

With Angels and Archangels begins with a smoky opening of charcoal and incense, evoking a sense of ritual and mystery. The rose soon appears, bringing a floral softness that balances the intensity. The base of cedar, sandalwood, and musk provides a warm, smooth finish.

With its array of accords – amber, woody, smoky, rose, balsamic, warm spicy, powdery, and floral – the scent is complex and ever-changing. It moves from a dry, smoky start to a softer, more powdery dry-down.

Although the official note pyramid is not detailed, the listed ingredients suggest a well-rounded composition. Those who enjoy bold, aromatic scents will find this particularly appealing, especially in cooler weather or at night.

The fragrance has an average rating of 3.91 out of 5, based on 66 votes. It's not a crowd-pleaser, but it has a devoted following. Kerosene is known for its high-quality and unconventional creations, and this is no exception.

With strong performance, it can last for hours on the skin, and its projection is noticeable. It's a fragrance that requires confidence, but it rewards the wearer with a unique sensory experience.

This fragrance is for those who love smoky, woody, and complex scents with a hint of floral sweetness. It's unisex, appealing to people who want a distinctive, characterful fragrance for the colder months or special occasions.

With Angels and Archangels is a successful addition to Kerosene's repertoire. John Pegg has managed to balance the charcoal's darkness with the rose's delicacy, creating a perfume that is both intense and original. If you're looking for something different and deep, it's worth a try.
