Multiball

What f’in magical witchcraft is this?! Holy crap this is weird but nostalgic, and so good! I don’t think I would have tested it if I hadn’t gotten it included in my sample pack — I mean, cola notes and metallic notes sound like something that would clash and scream on my skin, yet I LOVE it! Haha! First thought when spraying, I got more lime and thought it smelled like a freshly mopped and waxed roller rink 25+ years ago. Then it became sweeter and somehow developed into this smell that reminds me of being a sticky child who spilled my soda all over myself but never bothered to wash it off, then went out to play in the park. Carefree, fun, summertime. Life back when I could eat a Happy Meal without thinking of my doctors warnings about my cholesterol. This scent somehow smells exactly like I remember smelling and how I remember my friends, cousins, and little brother smelling between the ages of 7-10, before junior high bullying forced us to wear the same noxious cheap body sprays that all the other kids wore lest we get teased for being different. Who knew the sweet sweaty clean gourmand scent of my youth was cola... I’ve tried a few scents before that came off like root beer (l’interdit rouge) but none smell like this. I honestly don’t think I would have known this was a cola scent. It makes sense when you smell it but I’m not sure others would make the association if they blind tested. It comes off as sweet, fun, and playful. I also think it smells a little bit like a lip smackers flavor I had in the 90s, but less synthetic (the Dr Pepper flavor, anyone?) Super unique, I highly recommend! Added to my wishlist! I must own this!

So gorgeous and yummy!!! My partner who is not into fragrance at all also loves when I wear it. I think it reminds us both of when we first started dating when we were choatic angsty punk teenagers 9 years ago. I used to put on this root beer lip balm before our dates hoping he would make out with me and notice it (they loved it of course). We would take the train all over the city and go to arcades and to the local soda shop and test out different root beers and craft colas. It's such a nostalgic and comforting yet sensual exciting and sexy scent to me. It reminds me of the adrenaline and desire of a new love interest that you know is the perfect person for you. It's got a strong lime cola base that makes you want to drink it so bad. It's def got a metallic element to it like when you go to the arcade and twist the little knobs and joysticks til your hands smell like dirty sweaty metal. It dries down to an alluring warm spicy woodsy cedar. And the patchouli adds that natural earthy seductiveness to it at the tail end. I'm not one for spicy scents but because of Multiball I've converted. It made me confident in blind buying Pearfat and Odette's collab Les Chaussons Rouge which I do not regret at all!!! If you like spicy fruity gormands I definitely recommend this one.

I actually did not intentionally order this—this was a complimentary sample given by Fumerie Parfumerie with a FB purchase. Opens with a slightly fizzy cola facet, in which you can also make out some sticky cola residue as well, and then soon after you can make out the woodsy, tarty, metallic sensation (in that order of intensity) that you’d expect from a tabletop arcade machine that’s been used for many years. You have been here before. As you have probably already surmised, this is less of a conventional perfume but rather an experience. The fizz has worn out already, and the cola is evolved more into a cola residue that might have been stuck to the arcade machine. Maybe it’s lime that you added to Sprite for extra flavor. Maybe you’re peering into the motherboard of the arcade machine instead. An extremely accurate, nostalgic render of tabletop gaming at a somewhat unkempt arcade with friends. I can definitely see myself keeping a sizable decant for the experience, but a FB might be hard to justify. Regardless, it’s FBW for someone particularly intrigued with this experience.

Wow wow wow! I blind bought several baby pears from Pearfat recently, but the description of this one intrigued me enough to blind buy the full bottle instead - and that was an excellent decision by past me, because this is incredible! The top notes upon first spray are a very fresh lime candy. It's not overly synthetic or sugary - it's like if they made a lime flavored lollipop out of REAL limes. It's smooth, and in the background, it's held up by hints of that distinct dark cola smoothness that you find in Dr. Pepper. Then out comes a waxy, clean wood, which blends seamlessly with the lime for a really fresh mix, almost like the filling of a key lime pie. It's a very gentle gourmand with a lot of zing and vibrancy - amazing! The drydown becomes sweeter without being saccharine, and the bubbly mineralic cola heart note warms up and starts to shine through super cleanly. Gorgeous perfume!

Fun and nostalgic scent. I've tried a lot of coca cola fragrances and this is one of my favorites. They really caught the retro vibe of the machine as well as the soda beautifully. I can smell the waxed wood along with the coke and it's awesome. I've let my friends try this one and everyone is fascinated by it. This and Ganymede probably emit the same look of wonder and astonishment when people smell it. Not saying it's anything like Ganymede, it's just such a unique piece, unlike anything else in my collection of niche fragrances. Really fun to wear, and surprisingly has a bit of depth..Wearable artwork, and it's very strong and long lasting as well. My only knock is the amber fixative that is so strong and persistent, it wears me out, so ultimately I sold it.

This one is so fun! It opens with a slightly herbal and powdery patchouli smell and a bright and juicy lime. The Coca Cola starts to come in and it’s pretty sweet but feels balanced out with a good amount of spices. This doesn’t feel like a freshly poured cup or a cold can, but more like a flat cup of coke, bc it’s got that syrupy sweetness to it and a lot of warmth. I could even compare it to Coca Cola gummy candies. As the scent develops you get those metallic notes and it’s so hard to describe but it really does smell like a pinball machine, like a metallic machine with soda spilled all over it. The dry down smells a lot more woody and the sweetness is toned down with a bit of earthiness added in. This is such an interesting scent but it works so well.

This smells like I'm 10 years old in my childhood home in Kansas. I'm sitting in the living room, eating a frozen dinner that I just heated up in the microwave on a tv tray. I'm drinking a Coke with lime syrup in it (this part is made up bc I wasn't allowed to drink pop). I'm watching something, probably That's So Raven, on our old, boxy television. And I still remember the feeling of getting my face really, really close to the tv. So close that I could see the individual pixels and feel the heat and something buzzing from it. There's something sweet and metallic and warm and buzzy about this fragrance. I'm obsessed with it.

The notes breakdown is spot on. Multiball doesn’t elaborate on the coke smell, it just smells like coke without diving into all the component notes. The first thirty minutes it smells like fresh, sparkling coke, but somehow they capture the “going flat” scent perfectly. Once the coke smell goes you get the “warm electronics”. I was worried this accord would be to abstract or latexy, but no, it smells like old circuitry thats been running too long. This fragrance is not to sweet or to strange, its just right to be the perfect smell of nostalgia. Longevity is good and projection is ok (an arms length of a scent bubble).

The opening hit of cola and lime was really interesting. Not exactly photo-real, more like a cola gummy candy with sugary lime syrup drizzled on it. Then, I swear to god, this smells like the gumballs you'd get from that huge gumball machine at Blockbusters. Brings back such fun memories of cheap pizza movie nights. Eying the gory horror movie cases when I was supposed to be finding an appropriate kids show. Goosebumps on VHS, the florescent lighting and dirty carpet. The air strange and static. It dries off so dusty and warm. It's not dissimilar to Clue's Warm Bulb with that hot dust note. I'm a fan.

Smells mostly of Coca-Cola to me all throughout the day. It is interesting to smell something that smells literally sticky. It's quite cheeky in that way! You get a sort of vanilla from the Coca-Cola without there being an explicit vanilla scent that carries the sweetness. I don't really get lime, and I get the slightest hint of the metallic notes. The cedar and patchouli mix so well with the Coca-Cola that it's almost hard to tell that is what you are smelling. Could be worn year round at any time of day, makes it very versatile. I enjoyed it!

Extremely visceral to me. Reminds me of this arcade from my childhood so vividly. It really captures the dusty aura of an arcade. I can almost feel the colorful bright lights shining from all directions from the games. You can definitely feel the fizzy smell of freshly poured coke into those hard red plastic cups with the coca cola logo on it. I didn't expect to remember the smell of this place. Multiball fills me with such a lethal amount of nostalgia.

Whoa! This has a visceral metallic note at the beginning that almost reminds me of Warm Bulb by Clue! So atmospheric! As far as soda scents go, there are better ones (my fav is Born to Be Unforgettable by Kilian), but as a symposium for the nose, this gets it exactly right. You are at the arcade, your quarter is up next, but the other kid is hogging the pinball machine. And oh! He just got multiball. Of course. Incredibly well done!

This is a really great zingy diet Coke with lime scent. I think the metallic notes are what makes it pull more diet than full fat Coke. The background is steel and plastic that's been warmed by incandescent bulbs. I wish that aspect were a bit stronger because it's very cola heavy, but I still love it. I'd like to get Warm Bulb and pair them for a perfectly nostalgic scent

writing a second review nearly a year later to say.......multiball has become my favorite fragrance of all time. i wear this perfume like a talisman: something to brighten my day when i'm feeling off, something familar to bring me back down to earth, a treat, a sweet indulgence, just for me. it makes me feel more like me. i'll never be without it

It’s smells like a first date and you’ve been invited to go bowling. ORRR going home for the holidays! Seeing people you haven’t seen in a while. A mix of cologne and arcade games. The cedar is heavy, but the lingering metallic and coke note are my favorite. I love this perfume. It’s quiteeee romantic to me. I’ve gone through like two bottles.

Clean, mineralic, earthy, bubbly coke. I was on a hunt for a cola fragrance, and tried many, but this is the only one that scratched the itch without being cloying. A very well balanced fragrance, not too sweet, not too synthetic, not too dirty, it all works very well together. One of my favorites from Pearfat.

Lukewarm Diet Coke, polished floors, and the static electricity of a bowling alley ball return. This scent captures the essence of Christmas break at the lanes perfectly. It's unique, beautiful, and signature-scent worthy. If you love cola scents, this is a must-try

This scent is so intoxicating! <3 It's nostalgic, sweet, and playful. I still have more perfumes from pearfat's discovery set to wear test but tbh... this one miiight just be my favorite. Try this out if you want to try a wearable and yummy metallic perfume!

definitely get the smell of old roller rink from this, the very base notes on me smells mostly.... like cedar? and it brings me back to the smell of this strange, mysterious cabinet that my big brother had in his bedroom when i was a really young child

OMG I’m obsessed with this. The metallic note and flat sticky syrupy cola. I can’t get this scent out of my head. Reminds me of being at the roller rink in the early 2000’s flirting with some boy in the arcade section. Need a full bottle soon
