Cherry Cola

This seems to be quite polarizing; my partner isn't a fan, but I can't get enough of it. It invokes Fentiman's Curiosity Cola for me, it has that specific spicy-sweet note that a lot of botanical-style cola variants possess. I suppose it's the cinnamon? It also has an amplified cherry-almond Dr Pepper note going on which I love. I bought a decant and was a little unimpressed by its projection at first, but it really grew on me over time and I ended up buying a full bottle. I also sampled Mancera Tonka Cola and while I also liked it, it didn't have enough going for it to justify spending multiple times the cost of the Emir. I also picked up French Avenue Zenith Vanilla after seeing it being compared to this, but they're quite different IMO. Zenith Vanilla is much less spicy, and is instead more powdery and dusty. If you're looking for a cola-adjacent scent that's more subtle and elegant, it might be worth looking into. I see myself using both interchangeably.

Cinnamon Cherry Coke. A little powdery on the dry down (in a pleasant way). I get vanilla almond as well, even tho almond isn’t in the notes. Leans more masculine imo. I gave it to my hubby to wear. Smells reminiscent to Obsession for men. It’s THAT kind of spicy. I was dying for a perfume with a Coca-Cola note so I ordered this one and Snif Soda Snob. They smell nothing alike. I much prefer this one. Both very Coke forward but this one blows Snif away. Not one I’d reach for every day but it’s nice when you want a warm but uplifting frag. I do get the masculine barbershop vibe on the dry down but I don’t have a problem with that. All in all I love this. It smells heavenly on my hubby. When he wears it, I just wanna bury my face in his neck. EDIT: I just layered this with a Dossier perfume called Free the Musk. The cinnamon cardamom in that one mixes very well with Cherry Cola. I smell verrrrry spicy.

You can smell the lemon citrus when first applied, but quickly after it dries down that freshness goes away and you’re left with a cherry cola with hints spicy cinnamon and nutmeg. It kind of reminds me of those Coke-A-Cola gummy candies as a kid. It’s not for everyone. I wouldn’t say spot on with a real cherry cola, but pretty similar. This is not an ice cold cherry cola, this has a warmth to it. It projects well and lasts all day. A heavy scent so best for cool/cold weather. I’ve gotten a couple compliments from friends and family when giving out hugs. (This is not a safe blind buy. Definitely unisex and may come off too masculine to some, so I recommend a sample first.) I got this for $45 before taxes on Amazon, but you could probably find it for cheaper on another site. Also the bottle is gorgeous and very good quality.

This was a blind buy for me - like all the rest of my Paris Corner perfumes - and it was another hit. Although I was a bit concerned because in the opening the Sicilian lemon was the most predominant note (and I am not a fan at all of citrusy/bergamot perfumes) along with Cola, which made me think this will be most suited for Summer time, in less than 5 minutes it settled into this amazing warm and sensual perfume, unlike anything I have ever smelled before. After the first notes dissipate, the true gem comes to light consisting in subtle cherry, warm tonka and vanilla, with a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg, making this perfume ideal for autumn and winter. It is amazingly well blended and could very easily pass as a high end niche perfume. Wow, who would have thought that this would be one of my best buys...

As soon as I seen this, even before seeing any notes, I knew I had to have it. CC has been housed in the cold, dark closet since mid September. I fell instantly in love with this fragrance. It made me smile when it indeed smelled of Cherry Coke. Performance was not great at all, but has improved with sit time. The cherry is done so well in this, just sweet. The cola provides a fizzy effect. The cinnamon is the star for me. I find myself wanting to top off to smell the opening, mmm. The dry down is slightly powdery I believe from the tonka and cherry. The cherry sticks around. I have absolutely nothing else like this, so that puts it high up my list bc I like to smell different. Truthfully, CC starts out clearly as its name sake, but the dry down is more Dr. Pepper. I love it! 10/10

I enjoy the scent of cola, all colas...name brand cola, generic cola, cola flavored gum & candy, cola scented body sprays, etc. 🤷🏽♀️ The scent triggers my dopamine receptors...plain and simple...period. Is this one the best in its class? Well of course not...it was $30 or less 😂🤷🏽♀️ Will I pull for this one in the fall & winter months? Yep. Will I over spray it and then return 30 minutes to an hour later to overspray it again because it makes me happy? Also, Yep. If you like the scent of cola..you’ll most likely enjoy this one too. However, if you like to nit-pick and split hairs 😑 I’m sure you’ll figure out a reason not to like it...which is great because...more for me 😂😉

Living my unreleased Lana Del Rey cherry cola cinnamon sparkling lemon dreams... I feel so girly and fun, a little mischievous. Very beautiful scent and gets compliments, flattering on my skin even though usually vanilla doesn't smell good on me, but here it's soft and faint enough and doesn't overpower the other notes, just stays lovely at the background. To me it's vanilla cherry cola with cinnamon and lemon, but one of my friends told me I smell like an oriental incense shop which I'm not mad at. Perfect for cold weather, haven't tried it in the summer yet but I want to believe it works then, too. Even just for the aesthetic.

Pretty surprised by this one: when you first spray it, yep, it’s exactly what it’s said to be, Cherry Cola. Which you could kind of expect to be kind of childish and gimmicky, but somehow it’s not really that? I kind of thought that this one would be one that you wouldn’t really be able to wear a lot because, well... where would one go, smelling like cherry cola? But to my surprise, it dries down to a slightly spicy, fairly aromatic masculine fragrance. With a bit of a twist, of course. I wouldn’t have expected that this one would be office approved, but it actually is.

Bought this on the name alone, not like I thought it'd be at all with barely any cherry. Starts off citrusy in a coca cola type of way and it adds spices pretty quickly. After an hour or 2, the vanilla is very prominent and is a spicy and sweet vanilla fragrance with the coca cola fading to the background. Despite my disappointment it does smell like how cherry coke smells, coke with a weak sweetness to it. One of my favourite scents and surprisingly the spicy dry down makes it so much more versatile.

Yes!! Perfect!! If you love spicy fragrances and you like the smell of cola and cherry and you also love strong, long lasting fragrances, you will probably love this! Ticks all the boxes for me. I wouldn't say it's a photorealistic smell of Dr Pepper, but it is close and it's almost effervescence for the first 30 mins! Don't worry, I don't think people around will think you are wearing Dr Pepper though. It's just a beautiful, spicy smell. Love it!!

90 percent similar to tonka cola. I own both. Cherry cola actually has a bit more cherry in it. The thing i like about these emir's is they are extraits. I'd highly recommend this whole line. I have 3 of them. I also have the mancera versions too and I prefer 2 of the emir's to the mancera. 9/10. I agree with the review below. The performance on this is better than moderate. It isn't beast mode but it is above average.

This smells like a medicinal old fashioned cola. Like if you imagine how they would make coke at an apothecary. It’s spicy, medicinal, and very fizzy. I don’t smell the cherry but I love it all the same. It’s a fall-winter scent due to the spiciness and the amber. I absolutely love it. I’d say’s is unisex leaning masculine. You have to really love spices to enjoy this one, and I really enjoy it.

I like it! It layers really nicely with Eilish 2, Mix:Bar Vanilla Bourbon, and Ariana Grande Frankie, if you're into anything like that. I tend to like warm spices and vanilla and fruit notes, not gourmands strictly speaking. Some green haired girl at Burlington called me basic but I like what I like, simple as that. Meanwhile she smells like Yara Pink EDT, also good 🤷🏽♀️

I LOVE this fragrance, but you have to like cola. However it’s not just that you get a bright cherry that’s not medicinal with a zesty sparkly lime seltzer vibe and the nutmeg pairs with it so well. On the drydown the cinnamon comes out pairing with the rest giving it a cola vibe from start to finish Smell 9.8/10 Longevity 9.1/10 Price Value 10/10 This is seriously a hit

Coca-Cola is my all-time favorite winter scent. This is just perfect for me. I love this bottle and the price too. Out of curiosity, I ordered Vanilla Zenith and It's the same scent. I'll get back to you if I find any differences. This is still significantly cheaper, but I think the price of this one will go up. So now I recommend to get this one. ❤️

Oh, this is just so lovely. Very unique. Cherry and spices. Stays pretty linear throughout. Lasts a good 8-12 hours. Not a strong projector, but you definitely notice it. Cool/cold weather. Rock this one if you don't want to smell like anyone else. Would I buy this again? Yes. Do yourself a favor: layer with Lost Cherry!

I wore this again yesterday and it's still a favourite of mine. It last all day, then all that night and was still going and beautiful the next morning. For my nose it's a cinnamon scent , it's so beautiful and I love it more everytime I wear it. I've not smelt the original but I'm in love with this delicious scent 😍

After using it for a while it's pretty easy to describe the scent. The opening is the citrusy half of cola with slight spices, while the dry down is strong spiciness reminiscent of cola. Somewhere need the middle it's spot on Cola. It's a banger 💯

Was looking for a dupe for Tonka Cola, and this is a spicy and also sweet cherry cola. Not that similar to the original, this one actually smells like cola (even though lacks the cola note which is in TC) and now I want them both for my husband.

I’m on to my 4th bottle🤌🏻 I pity those who don’t get longevity as this lasts hours, even on my skin. More of a warm spicy cherry cola. No tang/fizz. You either love this or hate it but you WILL be noticed wearing it.

Literally sweet cherry cola. What a fun fragrance, happy to have it in my collection since I was searching for cola fragrance for a while. It’s kind of a fresh also.

I'm amazed that the sillage and longevity are marked as moderate. This isn't quite the performance of tonka cola but it's still above average.

I find it a little sweeter thank Tonka Cola from Mancera. But its close. I like it very much.

Amazing perfume that smells just like Cherry Cola. Pretty impressive.

@admins please add emir wild and tobacco to fragrantica.

This is more spicy than I expected 😬

Opens with a fresh, fizzy cola note, reminding of a classic cherry cola. As it develops, the fragrance evolves into a warmer, spicier blend of ginger and cinnamon, creating a syrupy, soda-like richness. While the scent is very pleasant, the cola character can feel unusual for everyday wear, making it a fun, quirky fragrance for novelty or casual occasions rather than formal settings. Overall, it’s a unique and imaginative gourmand that cola lovers will appreciate *Wearing cherry cola*🤪=... walking around smelling like literal soda😅 make sure to overspray like you own the vending machine 🥤 7/10

This is such a fun and nostalgic fragrance - it genuinely smells like fizzy cherry cola straight out of the can. Spicy-sweet, effervescent and playful, it’s an instant mood-lifter. I love layering it with a simple vanilla scent - it turns into a Cherry Cola Ice Cream Spider (or float): creamy, fizzy and delicious. It’s not your typical gourmand; it’s cheeky, retro and refreshingly unique. I love it- and the best part? It only cost $39 AUD. Total bargain for something this fun.

Very cherry note prominent and cinnamon, with a touch of sweetness. If you like cherry note then you will like this. Its something spicy (nutmeg) in here. Its creamy, spicy and slightly powdery. This is a kind of cosy scent. It does not smell medicine to me. I have no idea if this one is a dupe of Tonka Cola. Perfect for cold weather. Kind of strong and longevity is between 8-9 hours. Projection is average.

Smells like a spicy, cinnamony, citrusy cherry coke (heavy on the coke scent). The scent profile is a little bit immature and it lacks complexity (i also think it can be a little overpowering and headache-inducing at times). In that way this isn't really a fragrance i'd wear on its own. However, it is superb for layering. 6.5/10 in its own 8.5/10 layered with creed aventus/afnan supremacy CE

It's such a shame longeivity is so weak with this one, because for the first hour you wear it it's an amazing mood lifter - really smells like a glass of ice cold coke with a slice of lemon on a hot day! But, give it an hour, forget about others smelling it even at making out distance, and that's disappointing 😭.

Not bad but the initial spray, the lemon is quite overpowering and drowns out everything else, also smells kind of ginger-y. I was really hoping for a strong cola scent but will update as it dries down. update: yea the cola is more apparent as it dries down, unfortunately not much cherry though

Testing on my skin, it was straight smoky spiced incense when it first went on. I could barely smell the cola. I definitely got the cinnamon and maybe nutmeg, but no citruses or vanilla. It's a little sweet but not what I would call gourmand. Maybe it'll mellow with age.

It’s pretty good. I’m a little underwhelmed to be honest. The cola is really only in the opening then I dries down pretty spicy. I like it, I just don’t love it. Glad I got a decant to try first.

It's spicy, it's sexy, it's cherry. I love it so much! If you have TF Lost cherry (or any dupe of that), try to layer them with Emir. Combination of them is eternal

At first sniff a mix of - cherry coke - cinnamon coke - Jägermeister - mens soap. Hope the notes will blend together with time

Smells just like cherry coke! Fizzy and sweet. a little spicy too!

Even more broken noses and brains in reviews. This smells exactly like the name implies. Performance is god awful right now, but i've only had it for a few days. Barely getting 3 hours of longevity, and projection goes to skin scent within an hour.... Hopefully maceration will help but for an extrait concentration....... very disappointed.

Interesting, a fall scent. Sweet but earthy, a disturbing scent. Like hairspray, then it's like bergamot hair oil, then it's sweet, then it transforms into ... ? A chemical question mark. I'm going to let it sit for a while and see if things get better (like waiting on a friend to get out of the hospital). I hope it gets well soon.

This is excitingly cherry cola for 30 full seconds, then out of no where becomes your grandpas aftershave. Bought this before it was on fragrantica hoping for an exclusively cherry soda fragrance, when in actuality this is a masculine barbershop type scent profile. Not bad, but not for me. 🤭

This leans way more masculine then I was expecting I will give it a full days wear if I'm still not a fan I'll ask my daughter if she wants it if not I'll sell it but so far I'm not a fan I prefer more vanilla based fragrances with less spice.

In this fragrance, all I really get is cinnamon and nutmeg — maybe just a tiny hint of cola if you really focus. Definitely not something I’d recommend for summer; it’s way too warm and spicy for hot weather.

Like... you actually smell like a drink. Some people love that and find it unique, others feel it’s more of a fun/novelty scent than an everyday go-to.

This smells exactly like cherry cola mixed with shaving cream. It’s ok, it’s more masculine imo. I’m hoping it gets better by fall.

Kinda smells like spicy baby wipes. Not what I was expecting. Not bad not great either.

I had high hopes for this based on reviews. I do not detect anything resembling Cola, even when I'm using my imagination and trying to. Instead, I get too much powder and a soapy vibe in the background. I'm going to continue my search for a fragrance that actually does smell like cola. I do not recommend this to anyone who wants cola, and the notes without any sort of detectable Cola note are very uninspired.

Just a bit headache inducing. It is not heavily spicy for me, the spice levels are quite good and sometimes I get a whiff of them. But the cherry, which is the main note, is really strong and unpleasant for me.

Synthetic, screechy cherry. I get a lot of almond too (weird that almond isn't listed as an ingredient). But absolutely no cola. Much more masculine than unisex. Smells really cheap.

I see the vision but overall, Do Not Even Bother. If you see it on the shelf put it down and just walk away.

My worst blind buy ever! Sickly sweet in the dry down, cloying. Yuck! Nobody wants this,. giving it away!
