Followed vs Unknown Pleasures

Followed is a divisive fragrance praised for its pleasant gourmand scent but heavily criticized for its extreme potency and projection that make it impractical for social settings. The community consensus is that it smells nice but is genuinely "too much"—multiple users report unintended sillage affecting entire buildings and scent persisting on clothing for days or weeks, making it a curiosity piece rather than a wearable fragrance.

Unknown Pleasures by Kerosene generates modest interest within the r/fragrance community, with members curious about its potential for layering and appreciation for unconventional American fragrance houses. However, there is limited consensus and discussion about the fragrance itself, making it difficult to establish strong community opinions on its overall performance and suitability.
