The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Fields of Rubus by Kerosene was launched in 2012, created by perfumer John Pegg. This unisex fragrance opens with a burst of fruity and sweet notes that evoke the lushness of ripe berries, followed by a heart of warm spices and earthy undertones. The base notes of patchouli and tobacco provide a grounding warmth, creating a composition that feels both comforting and intriguing. It captures the essence of an autumn harvest, where sweetness meets the earth's rich embrace.

How to wear it

Apply Fields of Rubus in light sprays — its sweet and spicy notes build quickly on the skin. It pairs well with cool evenings but can be worn year-round for a touch of warmth. The patchouli base unfolds gradually, so waiting an hour before heading out allows it to fully integrate.
