KINGSFORD® AND JASON KELCE INTRODUCE THE MUST-HAVE FRAGRANCE FOR FALL: SLOW BURN

Finally, a Fragrance that Captures the Alluring Aroma of Charcoal

OAKLAND, Calif., Oct. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Kingsford, the leader of authentic charcoal grilling for over 100 years, is stepping into a bold new space—fragrance. Partnering with football legend and "King of the Grill" Jason Kelce, to introduce Slow Burn by Kingsford. That iconic aroma of a flame-kissed meal? We've bottled it. It's bold, it's unexpected, and it's downright mouthwatering. With Slow Burn, Kingsford brings the heat in a way that's all about savoring the ambiance and the togetherness of grilling – without so much as lighting a match.

"Charcoal has a very distinct smell and characteristic aroma that instantly flashes me back to backyard barbecues with my family, sporting events, and memories centered around sports and kinship," said Kelce. "When Kingsford approached me with this idea, I thought right away this could be really cool. Smell is something that is so visceral at times, and the right scent strikes a chord when it hits your nose, Slow Burn by Kingsford strikes that note. It's guaranteed to make you feel nostalgia, barbecue, and connect you to the memories about what's important in life, and you'll smell damn good doing it!"

Slow Burn is no novelty; it's a gourmand-smoke fine fragrance designed for the discerning grill master and meticulously crafted to reflect Kingsford's expertise in elevating simple moments into unforgettable ones. Built around the inimitable wood-fired aroma that only Kingsford charcoal can provide, the scent captures the essence of grilling in a smoky and rich, unforgettable whiff that appeals to both grillers and fine fragrance enthusiasts alike.

Fragrance notes include charred hardwood, fire ember, saw dust, carbon clove and powder smolder to bottle that iconic smoky scent.
