Cola Addict

I was just wanting a cola fragrance and I just happen to find this at Sephora, I felt lucky seeing that this is a new drop! :) So far I've worn it for 3 days now and I'm happy to say this perfume is a Photorealistic cola done so good, it smells more like homemade cola thats been tweaked subtly to be extremely wearable, Such a fun fragrance my GF loves the smell on me and wears it on herself too. you can smell all the ingredients of a cola with this amazing lemon, lime, cinnamon, and ginger on the initial spray that blends so well with each other creating this spicy sweet cola smell without being overly sweet. as it dries down there is hints of vanilla and molasses, there is also this very very subtle deep woody smell. for performance and longevity, i'm not saying that this a beast mode fragrance but, this fragrance performs good it lasts for about 6 Hrs and it projects pretty damn well! I recommend going to your local fragrance store and give Cola Addict a sniff. -calzboof

It is a more subtle cola than Snif (Soda Snob) but I would say it makes it better and more wearable without being too playful and "gummy cola-esque" like Snif is. The longevity is very bad for the price, it projects for about an hour and then it stays close to the skin as this leathery spicy lime which good for the heat. 8/10 good for spring days or summer mornings.

Really pretty and refreshing! A spiced cola that smells unisex and night-time, with a little incense but also like a cola gummy

smells more like a homemade cola on the stove more than the typical cola gummy type accord id expect from a cola fragrance, the blend of spices used come off similar to the Valentino uomo dna but maybe that's just me. overall really interesting stuff!

this opens up very nice for a cola accord - it's very present and effervescent. most cola scents usually settle into a one note citrus area - this dries down into pure sandalwood with maybe a little lime. extremely masculine cologne smelling. which I have no issue with but it's not cola. and it certainly not cinnamon bark. and it's absolutely NOT a gourmand! lol y'all gotta learn that words have meaning! I'm honestly kind of disappointed with how much I've enjoyed every other scent I've tried from this brand. I collect cola accords and this was sadly a miss. nice sillage though. quality perfume regardless. and if you enjoy sandalwood this is a very nice sandalwood that isn't musky at all!

Just bought a 7.5ml one, happy not larger. This reminds me of a lush cosmetic bath bomb I had some years ago. For me it is overly citrusy and not much a cola smell. I liked the mancera one a lot better, that is more a photorealistic cola smell for me.

Smells like mulled cola that has been cooled down with ice. I think it's okay for summer, as it has a refreshing citrusy profile to it. But it's too spice-heavy when it dries down, and it only lasted 1 and a half hours for me

So glad I sampled it on the local store once it became available before buying it blindly. This is not the sweet cola I wanted. This is a bland week citrus mishap. Performance is poor. My only theory is that I tried it so early, it was still under shock from the delivery. So I will come back to try it again later. I really like Borntostandout and their other creations, so not ready to give up yet.

Damn the opening is amazing but the dry down sucks hard.

So excited and then so let down. I LOVE BTSO wacky gourmands, but some scents are just head scratchers. This is a weirdo. I don't get cola/soda/pop, or even anything in the ballpark. It's sweet kinda? A little spicy? And then a doughy weird sandalwood drydown. And it didn't have the potency/sillage of BTSO. So, I'm going to mature this one. It's weird. Indies like 1692 and Andromeda's Curse do cola much better. However, I roller balled Double Dates all over later and it was GREAT! But by that time, my Cola Addict had simmered down to flat cola with little sillage. I jumped on a 10pen blind buy from the pre-sale talk. I love BTSO and odd gourmands. Test if you can. Might be better on a male profile.

I have been looking for a photorealistic cola scent for quite some time now. So I was really happy when Cola Addict came out and I so wanted to love it but... I hate it. I get the cola reference, but it is fleeting and on my skin it has this really screechy, metallicy undertone that makes it smell cheap. I blind bought a 7.5 ml and am very happy I didn’t purchase a full bottle.

If you tend to like spice-heavy scents, this is worth a try. It's incredibly spice heavy, effervescent, gingery. The opening is like a root beer from a health food store. Not syrupy like a true Coke. I agree with the rest of the folks saying the drydown sucks; it's super masculine and cologney and sandalwood heavy. But that opening is so unique and well crafted!

Not impressed with this one. Way too much citrus, doesn’t really capture that sweet spicy fizzy cola vibe. And i prefer cola frags to feel cold, like an ice cold glass of Coke, and this one if way too heavy on cinnamon and sandalwood which has a warm effect.

It’s a lot sweeter than I was expecting. I get mostly “opened a fresh cola with lime” and then syrup. I don’t get a ton of the spice or woods notes...may need to let this one sit for a bit. Not your typical BTSO

this genuinely smells like Coca Cola but I don’t know if I wanna smell like Coca Cola
