Cola

This was finally back in stock on Smallflower after being unavailable for months, so, at $11 a bottle, I couldn't not try it. It's 100% Coca-Cola from the first spray. It has all those same lemon, ginger, and kola nut notes as real cola on my skin. On my clothing, it reminds me of the scent of Amway laundry detergent (which I've always thought was delightful) plus cola. I can't imagine finding a fragrance closer to the real thing than this. However, I do wish this were stronger. Sadly, you don't really smell it unless you put your nose to your wrist or clothes and smell yourself. I sprayed a huge spray on each wrist and on my neck and clothes, and there's just no projection at all. So, this scent is going to be just for you and whoever is sniffing you that closely. Also, it doesn't come with a top on the sprayer, which I didn't think I'd ever care about, but it looks so naked on my shelf without one. I double-checked the packaging and box it came in, but the product photo makes me think it never came with one.

What a fun fragrance! This absolutely smells like bubbly and fizzy cola. After trying it for the first time, I had a smile on my face for quite a while. It smells very happy! To be more specific about the fragrance, I definitely smell the citrus and the spices in this (and they smell lovely). The spices prevent this from smelling too sugary or immature, and the citruses smell fresh. While I plan to wear this during the Summer, I see no reason why one wouldn't want to wear this during the Fall and Winter either (because the spices warm up the fragrance a bit). It's a good "all year" perfume that's just really fun to wear. I even love the bottle and the color of the liquid; it looks very vintage. The scent doesn't last long, nor does it have the best sillage (as it becomes more of a skinscent within minutes of applying it), but this is a very fun and happy addition to my perfume wardrobe. It's very affordable as well, so I guess you get what you pay for. Overall, I love this one.

Smells exactly like you're wearing Coca-Cola. I absolutely love this about it. Unfortunately, it sits quite close to the skin and requires a LOT of overspraying if you want anyone to notice it. Doesn't last a long time, either, so again I recommend going heavy with the sprays. I picked this up from Smallflower for less than $20, so I'll probably pick up more bottles. As other reviewers have said, maybe get yourself two bottles from the get-go, so you can go heavy on it. As opposed to Roja Creation-E which seems to be more of a Cherry Coke scent, this is a more traditional cola fragrance which is exactly what I was hoping for.

I second all of the below reviews! This is just delightful! I have been curious about this scent for most of two years, and I am so happy to now own it. Fresh, lightly sweet cola! Exactly like the name! It's blended so perfectly, there isn't a moment of the duration on my skin that is better or worse than another! In the mid stages, I can pick out cloves and orange. This reminds me of one of my favorite candles, Trapp Orange Clove. After a short time, the clove steps back a little, and the fresh cola scent lasts quite a long time. A unique, fun, light-hearted-yet-elegant scent that would fit anybody, any season.:)

As soon as this leaves the atomizer, it smells of cola with a heavy dose of lime syrup. I'm okay with this, because I like citrus scents. This really does smell quite recognizably of cola! I can't stop smelling my shirt. It's lovely! I'll have to try it later to see how it does on my skin. If you're looking for a cola-scented fragrance and you don't mind the addition of lime, buy this! What a fun, whimsical fragrance!

I’ve been mourning the Kilian Bad Boys Are No Good fragrance when it was discontinued (it was a favorite), and finding this finally healed that wound for me. At first I was sad it didn’t last longer, but then I discovered that Outremer also makes the Cola Extrait de Parfum, and then all was right in the world again! Just pair them together for double the Cola power that will last you!

180 What else can I say that others haven’t? Opens with lime, settles into a nice spiced cola. Not strong but fulfilling. I love everything cola, so this is an extension. Growing up abroad, I was spoiled by gummy colas and lollipops that tasted like cola with a fizzy powder inside. Now in the usa, we can order these things, cola hard candy, gummies... 9/10-Awesome Cola Interpretation

Smells exactly like opening a bottle of Coke! I feel like I can almost taste it, and since I don't drink sodas anymore it's bringing up all kinds of happy scent memories from the past. I did not realize how much I would enjoy this. Lots of smiles from this one!

This was an impulse buy. I bought a bottle and I love it. It's completely cola when it goes on and dries down to a really lovely cola and slightly spicy smell. It's not at all complicated. Just marvelous. Smallflower website has these fragrances.

This is so good and affordable. I like it so much better than Tonka Cola by Mancera. I blind bought it because it was $11 for 15 ml. It is spot on Cola. It's a fun, happy fizzy scent. Doesn't last, but that's okay for the price.

True cola-like scent, spicy sweet and energetic. Sillage and longevity are minimal, even having soaked myself in it--but fun while it lasted!

Smells like real cola and TBH just what i thought it would be.... Will add more later...... After a few wears.

Received my flacon of Outremer COLA today, which I'd ordered "blind" from Smallflower. I love the pretty bottle with its Art Nouveau swirls on the label. Looks very WWI-era, or like something "Rose" from TITANIC might own. On first spritz, there it is: a tangy note of cola... very pleasant, nose-tickling, bright, tart and refreshing, and more understated and refined than I had anticipated. But very soon, as others here have remarked, the cola quality fades, leaving behind a curious aromatic quality that seems slightly ambergris-like, or like a cassia/ginger-y petrichor (?). The drydown actually leans a little masculine to my nose, like a vintage men's lime/spice cologne. It's all pleasant, but one wishes the tangy cola would stick around for longer. In very far drydown, after about 5 hours, there remains a very subtle accord of clove and allspice. But the scent is very inexpensive, so there's that... no need for "buyer's remorse". This fragrance is good for the office or other place where you don't want to be overpowering. I am layering COLA with another indie favorite: Stirling Soap's LIME aftershave (basically a sharp solinote lime zest). Does much to keep the cola tartness going.

I bought this fragrance while on vacation at a quaint, kind-of-bohemian boutique on the Apalachicola Bay. Obviously one of those 'vacation' impulse buys because the price was right, I loved the vintage vibe of the bottle and I wanted an olfactory trigger for the memories that were created that week. It does smell faintly like cola but without any of the effervescence. And I would say more like Pepsi rather than Coke! More like the cola your grandmother probably got from an old fashioned soda fountain. I apologize... Am I a connoisseur of soda? LoL!! My 'friend' liked it, but could not quite put his finger on what it smelled like and of course I made him keep guessing. Anyway, the Longevity was so ho hum it could never have been offensive. My review is based purely on 20 yr old memories! The bottle was used up, i can't even remember who the 'friend' was, but I can still remember that faint cola scent! I would love to find where they sell this fragrance line today though. I think it would be fun for my 10 year old daughter to have!

Go to the store, buy a bag of Haribo Gummi Cola Bottles, open it, stick your nose in and inhale deeply. You’ve just experienced your first spritz of Cola Outremer. The similarity is uncanny. Now, eat the bag of Haribo Gummi Cola Bottles, come back in a few minutes, and sniff the bag again. You’ve just experienced Cola Outremer’s longevity. Once again, the similarity is uncanny. Don’t get me wrong, this fragrance is to die for, especially if you’re a hardcore gourmand with a proclivity for citrus. Frankly, I have no issues carrying it around with me for frequent re-application (in fact, I enjoy the attention I get from bringing out the vintage-themed bottle and misting the air about me with the crisp “ahh” of a fizzy soft drink). Just be prepared for a short-lived scent, much like drinking one of those trick-or-treat sized cans of soda - tangy and sweet, gone in a flash, leaving you thirsty for more.

Pros: ✔️Smells exactly like what it’s attempting to emulate. It nails the scent of a crisp, refreshing Coca-Cola perfectly! Yes, it does smell really similar to the Haribo cola gummies too. ✔️The Art Deco packaging is cute! Outremer bottles are uniformly concise and chic looking. ✔️A 1.7 FL Oz bottle is really cheap. Cons: ❌ To echo what many have already said, it is VERY short-lived and has practically nil projection. Once the cola accord wears off, only a slight trail of sugary ginger can be perceived before it totally dissipates all in under an hour. The performance truly is the only flaw about this fragrance. Oh, well. I guess you can’t have everything. I am still happy to have this. I haven’t really smelled anything like it. Cola earns extra credit for being unique. All things considered, I would give this a 7.5 out of 10.

I ordered from Smallflower and this is a nice fizzy effervescent Coca Cola scent. It is quite light. So be sure to spray this more than usual. If is pleasant. Definitely more for the Spring and Summer months. It is not a bold scent. I do like it because it is light, sits closer to the skin,refreshing and not that expensive. Outremer is pronounced OO-TRE-MARE by the way. I suggest buying two 50ml bottles from Smallflower. The reason I say two bottles is because you should spray Cola generously. Maybe even overspray this one. Cola can also be layered with the Outremer Vanille( Oddly enough they offer Vanille in a 100ml bottle. Great scent too.)

This is a mini review. First impression: smells just like Cola. Finally I own a fragrance that captures the Cola scent. Citrusy, spicy (in a root beery, gingery, saccharine way as opposed to savory kind of way) effervescent. Can't speak to longevity yet. This review is just after 5 mins of wear. I'll come back and add to this review after a full outdoor wear. Review after many full wears: still a great realistic cola scent, it doesnt really project or last very long. It lasts less than an hour on my skin, much longer on clothes maybe 3 to 5 hours. Still doesn't project much even off clothing. What a disappointment because it smells so good.

This really delivers a super realistic cola! To my nose, it smells just like a cola gummy, which makes it incredibly fun and delicious to wear. It's sweet, nostalgic, and surprisingly convincing. The biggest downside, as others have mentioned, is the performance. Longevity is admittedly quite poor and I could barely detect it after an hour. Thankfully, it's affordably priced, so reapplying throughout the day doesn't bother me too much. If you're after a photorealistic cola scent and don't mind doing frequent touch-ups, this is a great option.

Smelling like cola sounds amazing, but after a while my nose just deconstructs the scent and I smell sweetness, ginger, and some spice. I will enjoy sniffing the bottle from time to time, but I don't think I will actually wear it again unless I can find a scent to layer it with. I much prefer Bad Boys Are No Good But Good Boys Are No Fun By Kilian which manages a cola vibe but doesn't smell like actual cola, and is much better than Creation-E or other scents that are supposed to be cola.
