Soda Snob

A summer day. It's not too hot, but the sun is shining and it's perfect weather to sit outside and admire the world. You pour a glass of coca-cola and garnish it with a wedge of lime. You feel a breeze pick up and know that today will be yet another wonderful, fun day. This is truly such a wonderful fragrance. I love everything about it. Coca-cola is a rather elusive and intriguing scent, as its composition is rather indescribable, and it is so so so easy to make something that is overly sweet with a cloying stickiness, as if you spilled soda all over you on a hot summer day. This does none of that. It's a cool, refreshing bouquet of spicy sweetness that both invigorates and soothes. It captures the classic, nostalgic, fizzy scent of cola, while also complementing it with a beautiful burst of jasmine and lime. The cinnamon and caramel come out wonderfully in the dry down, creating a spicy, aromatic, sweet scent that's unique yet crowd-pleasing. It's a conversation starter. It's something you’d smell walking down the street and stop the wearer in their tracks to ask what it is. It's youthful and novel, yet classic and refined. The composition isn’t overly complicated, but I can tell the fragrances used are of utmost quality. I only purchased a sample of this, but I hope to buy a full bottle soon. I haven’t been this excited about a fragrance in a very long time.

This was a positive blind buy for me. It's a unique, photorealistic gourmand and one of the better-executed Cola scents I've tried. The notes are relatively linear, but there is some jostling for supremacy among them in the first 90 minutes or so. Starts off with a bright lime & fizzy coke scent, then settles down into a mix of warm coca-cola, nutmeg, and cinnamon, with a warm, boozy vanilla-caramel base. "Warm Coca-cola" doesn't sound like a positive endorsement, but it really does work well in this fragrance. I don't smell any Jasmine at all, to be honest. Overall, I would pick this scent is for cooler summer days, or Fall/Winter when you want to invoke some feelings of balmy, summer nights. The notes are rich enough that it works for winter on its own, but it truly feels like a fun, boardwalk in the summertime scent to me at its core. It could definitely be too cloying and heavy for hot, hot days. Longevity was great for me, lasting overnight on my skin, and even longer on my clothes. Projection quiets down to a skin scent after about 2 hours, but starts off as a arm-length scent. If you like Cola scents, check it out. Not a safe blind buy for most, but I find myself picking it out a few times a week. I really do love it. I don't think it fully satisfies my quest for the perfect Cola scent, but it's quickly becoming a summer staple.

I don't know how I haven't reviewed this one yet, because this is my signature scent. If you think I'm crazy for that then so be it but OMFG. I am obsessed with this. I think the thought of "cola perfume" puts some folks off prematurely, because when I tell people that my favorite perfume is a cola scent, they scrunch their nose at me. But if you look at this as a perfume comprised of the individual notes (I get predominantly lime, cinnamon, caramel, and jasmine) I think it makes more sense. When I smell this, I don't necessarily get "cola". I get a very sharp burst of lime at the beginning, kind of like that intense sting in your nose when you get when you try to drink a soda immediately after opening it (but pleasant and citrusy). Cinnamon comes next, then the jasmine and caramel at the same time to create the sweet "syrupy" aspect (without going *too* gourmand, the jasmine keeps it "perfumey" to me). The lime fades out over time, leaving a sweet, spiced, ever-so-slightly-floral scent lingering. I don't know how else to convey that this is incredible. Uhhh let's see, it projects decently well, I can usually smell it on myself for a good amount of time (maybe 4-5 hours?). But the longevity in general is wayyy more impressive, I can smell it in my clothes for days afterwards. Chefs kiss. 10,000/10

I was not expecting to love this as much as I do, but out of all the decants and bottles I got for the fall/winter season, this was the winner. I wanted to reach for it over all of my other cool weather scents. It’s not that it’s a fall/winter scent necessarily, but the bit of warm spiciness that comes through made it feel appealing in the colder months. I’m still wearing it in March, so we’ll see how far into the warm weather I go with it. Cola wise, dead on, but more of an artisanal cola with some extra lime and vanilla added. Kind of like those cola gummies, which take me back, but with a little spice. Of all the Snif fragrances I tried—heal the way and a sampler pack of their classics—this was by far the best smelling and best quality imo. But you have to like a sweet cola smell. Longevity could be better. Still a love. Would expect to finish the whole bottle within a year.

I tested this. It really isn’t bad, kind of interesting, but unfortunately not quite for me. I get burnt caramel and lime. The lime dissipates and its caramel, vanilla and subtle cinnamon. I might like it better if the caramel were softer and not as “cooked caramel” smelling. I do get that fizziness that everyone talks about, and it does start out as photorealistic cola with lime in my opinion. I tried some layering combinations but nothing really excited me when I did that. Perhaps the “burnt caramel” is the spice. It’s a tempting, but not something I would buy. Interesting, just not quite my vibe, but it might be yours. Update: This is really growing on me. I’m updating my description of the caramel to “toasted caramel.” There’s definitely a sweetness in the middle & the dry down is vanilla.

I recently went to ScentXplore in NYC and I smelled so many different perfumes and tried a select few on skin (you never have enough arms for these kinda things) and before I left I saw Soda Snob and thought why not. When I tell you the rest of the day I kept on getting whiffs of something INTOXICATING and I couldn't figure out what it was. I had tried a lot of different perfumes that day but when I realized it was SODA SNOB, it blew my mind. When first sprayed you get a very realistic cola scent, specifically a fountain soda not a can. But the DRY DOWN (sorry for all the CAPS I can't stop) is so, so delicious and wearable. If you are a little apprehensive about a soda forward perfume i'm here to say don't be. It's a perfect balance of realistic, wearable and delicioussss.

So utterly stunned by how much I love this fragrance. Went into Ulta to get Rose Era and got a wild hair to try this. I’m shocked that I like it, much less love it like I do. It’s addictive! It’s so unique as a perfume that I questioned my sanity and made every girl at the checkout counter smell it and give their honest feelings. 4 out of 5 liked and 1 loved it. It really does smell just like Haribo cola gummies and a frozen Cuba Libra. It’s extremely photorealistic. I’m pretty certain their “secret cola” scent has a base of some type of tea note. Reminds me a little of my Jo Malone tea set fragrances. It’s not a safe blind buy, but I highly recommend you give it a sniff if you have access to a sample. I can’t stop smelling my sample over an hour later.

It smells like the 4th of July, makes me want a hotdog reaaaal bad! I bought this after smelling it at Ulta a month ago and deciding I needed it. It has such a fresh photo realistic opening, how does something SMELL fizzy? The dry down on me is not as flat as everyone was saying, but unfortunately the lime does fade within the first 30 minutes, I’m trying to find maybe some lime essential oil to prolong that part. The dry down smell on my body chemistry does seem different than my sisters and friends so that might just be me. It smells so uniquely nostalgic, like a family barbecue and you pull a cold coke out of the beer cooler. I’ve been looking for a unique summer scent that doesn’t smell so copy paste and this is exactly that.

I did not expect to like this! I haven't tried too many soda scented fragrances, but the ones I have tried are generally very ginger-heavy and off-putting to me. This however has no ginger and the cola scent is quite yummy. Up close, the lime is just a tad too strong for my taste, but the sillage is a delicious, caramely cola scent. The cinnamon is pretty faint and I thankfully don't get any jasmine. Really impressed! It has moderate sillage and lasts all day. In terms of perfumes listed as similar— ❌ By Kilian Born to be Unforgettable: much less sweet, heavier on the lime ❌ Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka: not at all sweet on me and has no cola ❌ Oakcha Colaroma: smells like unsweetened ginger tea, I get no caramel or vanilla

Spray this on your wrist, lean in and close your eyes. It is the summer time, as the sun warms your skin you pull an ice cold cola from the cooler while the can is still dripping with condensation. You crack it open and as you take a sip the carbonation tickles your nose and the sweet, spicy, citrus notes dance across your tongue in a symphony of nostalgia. This is a treat for my inner child, that brings back light hearted memories of a simpler time. The balance of the lime, caramel, cola, cinnamon, jasmine, and vanilla is in perfect harmony. I plan on wearing this🥤, cerchi red crown (that smells like twizzlers and red berries 🍒🍓 and jousset sticky popcorn 🍿 the next time I go to the movies.

this fragrance is absolutely wonderful and i couldn’t be more pleased. to me, this doesn’t smell like coke but rather and indie cola soda. the lime is certainly pleasant but it’s not overly citrusy. my partner smelled me and said i smelt like a boozy candy bar. couple minutes later a stranger came up to me and asked what i was wearing !!! the scent last a good 4 hours with noticeable projection but dry down last a while. put it on around 9pm and woke smelling it on my skin still. dry down leaves more room for the jasmine note. paired this with their extra cream body spray and it was a dream team! smelt like a coke flote!

This is the soda fragrance I wanted! Tonka Cola was too masculine, this one leans feminine, but it wouldn’t smell wrong on a guy. It is an old fashioned syrupy sweet fountain cola with a lime wedge and a little cinnamon. I received my box last night and sprayed myself down at about 7 PM, it’s 10:30 the next morning and I can still faintly smell it on my skin and my T-shirt. It’s not a room filler but it does stick around. I think this would be appropriate anytime of year day or night. Anytime you want a fun fragrance. Now I’m kind of wishing I got the bundle with the pizza one just to see what that was all about.

I got this about a week ago, and wanted to wear it for the week which I did and holy balls, it's great. It opens with a hug of Dr Pepper and settles into a warm, caramel-ly delight. It has great longevity, which has been (for me, at least) a common issue with the other Snif frags which tend to disappear to skin scents on me within an hour. Not so with this pretty lady. It's marketed as unisex and I agree, anyone can wear it and everyone SHOULD. I'm updating my review to add that if you combine this with Pearfat Multiball, it's even more amazing.

I was not expecting to like this, but I love it! It layers surprisingly well with "fresh/clean" lotions/body washes, I think the jasmine and lime is brought out more. The soda is definitely prevalent, but the lime is zesty and fresh and it mixes so well. It's subtle and unisex, but smellable! Smells great on my clothes and skin, will be buying a full size. I think I'd prefer this in a cooler summer/crispier colder day, but not in deep winter. It's refreshing but spicy, fresh but comforting. Fall's scent. Try it! worth the value.

Not a big gourmand lover, but I am a soda lover and this really does it for me! Sick of the word whimsical, but it really does describe this scent imo. Sweet, but not overly sweet because of the spiciness and has a lightness that helps as well! I agree with others that the lime notes fade too quickly, but it dries nicely & puts a smile on my face when I wear it. Love to layer with other fruity perfumes as well for a ~dirty soda~ vibe. Very unique and will have people asking you about it!

This smells exactly like the Mexicane Cola you get from Whole Foods, if ykyk...I thought I wouldn't like it since I hate overly-sweet scents and most gourmands, but it's surprisingly addictive. The lime adds a nice sharp "fizzy" edge to the caramel-cinnamon complex. After the lime disappears, it does end up smelling like flat Coke, though, having a candy-like quality. The longevity is great (8-10ish hours), and it's quickly becoming one of my favorite pick-me-up scents.

Yummy syrupy sweet soda that is effervescent and fresh enough to wear in warmer weather. I really get true soda / gummy cola candy and lime in the top, and in the dry down the caramel, cinnamon, and vanilla come out more making it syrupy. On my skin I find that the cola and lime stick around in the dry down, so it maintains a freshness. I heard someone describe this as “artisanal soda” and I feel like that’s pretty accurate!

Bright and sweet effervescent opening that dries down into a sugary sweet musk that is vaguely reminiscent of BR540 types. I actually had someone ask me about 4 hours after applying if I was wearing Cloud. The cinnamon carries all the way through without giving Christmas candle. I am actually so impressed by this. I was expecting novelty, but it is very wearable.

If you told me this was a cola flanker of Baccarat Rouge 540, I'd believe you! It's starts off limey, fizzy, and cola-like. The drydown is ultra sweet and syrupy, with that BR540 DNA. The cinnamon is a supporting note throughout, but not at all the star. I love this! Lasts 10 hours on clothes, but projects well only for about 2 hours.

Delightful scent of cola, lime, and cinnamon. Starts off fizzy and fresh dries down to a very lactonic carmel vanilla. Wish it lasted a little longer on my skin but I noticed that it lingers on clothes for a few days. A very cute addition to my collection, will pick up often, especially during warmer months.

I finally got my 10ml bottle and love it so much. On first application it smells very similar to the cola flavor of one of those bottlecap candies. As it develops you get a bit more of the cinnamon and lime, and the silage is almost slightly musky to me. It smells yummy with a cherry scent, too.

My first successful blind buy! Been wanting a sweet cola perfume but all the ones I've tried just haven't been sweet enough. This is it! It's sweet and fizzy, the cinnamon and lime work soooo well to compliment the sweetness. So many compliments on this one!

I love this one. A lighter spicy gourmand for the warmer months, which is just where my tastes lie. And yes, it smells just like Coke, which makes it particularly good for layering. There’s an orange cream Coke flavor I’d love to try and replicate.

They smell exactly how haribo happy cola gummies taste. (iykyk) this is actually great, i'd wear this on like a movie date or something. people are definetely right when they say that you can smell the fizz. leans more feminine but its nice.

I like this one quite a bit. I do wish they put Cola notes in the base as well as Cloves. And used 100ml bottles. It's a nice fun scent. Caramel. Cinnamon candy, Cola gummies wrapped in Vanilla..

Follow up: I projected that I would go through a whole bottle within a year, and yep, sure did. This is one of the few fragrances I have repurchased. It just makes me happy.

The scent is so addicting it actually smells like a bottle of pop and I weirdly love it, I think it's perfect for the summer/fall time of year will be wearing this forsureee

Initial spray smells like cola, but after half an hour or so this literally smells like vanilla vice. It's a bit less smoky than vanilla vice, but very similar DNA.

I really like this a lot. Hard to describe. Will update later. But I love the entire journey of this one. How it starts to the dry down.

I really like this as a simple and wearable spicy leaning scent, and I think it also works very well in layering combos.

oh my gah!! i've always wanted to smell like cola and this is just right! idk where to find it tho...

I like to wear this to the movies and enhance big big-diet-coke-in-the-dark experience.

I was excited, but I admit, extremely skeptical of this perfume. I have tried a few cola scents and they all were quite weak, quite juvenile, and not quite cola, usually just spiced caramel at best. Soda Snob is none of those. It is soda syrup, lime, and carbonation on the first smell. Not combined, but as someone else said, those individual parts together. Not a bad thing necessarily, but something to note. Also, this isn't quite a coca cola or pepsi scent, it's just a tad more spiced so like half coke half dr pepper. I'd normally say this works best as a fall/winter or evening fragrance because of how strong the spice is, but honestly the sweet nature of it gives it whimsy enough to justify it as even a hot summer day scent. I myself can't quite smell the "fizz" everyone else does, but everyone I've had smell it within the first hour remarks that it smells carbonated or fizzy so it must be there. After that first hour and well into the dry down the cinnamon stays and the jasmine comes to the front. It's one of the most striking transformations I've seen in a perfume in a while, and really makes what could have been just a cheeky but childish gimmick perfume stand on its own two feet. Many say that the dry down smells like BR540, and I cannot agree. That is for the better to me as I don't enjoy saffron all that much as a scent. It's a spicy jasmine, yes, but lacks the not exactly powdery but... dusty(?) and musky smell 540 has (which of course no offense to BR fans, it just does not suit me well personally) It's its own scent, and stays around for quite some time, quieting from a small cloud to a more intimate scent. Overall, very delightful, and as a soda fan I'm pleased to throw it in my daily rotation.

Soda Snob is absolutely a realistic coca-cola scent, but to me this is the concentrate, not the carbonated soda. I get no effervescence or brightness, just a lot of syrupy sweet, synthetic caramel and brown sugar. I even get a little maple syrup and root beer. I wish the lime note came through stronger, but despite being a super sweet traditional gourmand, I feel like this is still wearable in warmer weather. I put Soda Snob on one wrist and my sample of Paris LA by What We Do Is Secret on the other and had a hard time telling them apart. Paris LA's citrus notes are slightly more prominent to me (although they read as orange-y, not lime-y) and therefore I prefer it slightly but the two are extremely similar, though not outright dupes. I need to do a more in-depth side by side comparison of Soda Snob vs Tonka Cola but based on my past experiences wearing Tonka Cola, they are extremely dissimilar. Tonka Cola is much more masculine and has a lot of non-gourmand facets. It reads like a traditional men's fragrance with a coca-cola note, whereas Soda Snob is a unisex (leaning feminine) coca-cola soliflore. Tonka Cola does edge out Soda Snob when it comes to performance however - TC is a beast mode fragrance when it comes to projection and wear-time, I usually have to wash it off if I want to stop smelling like it, whereas SS projects to about arms length and lasts for a more moderate 6-8 hours. Both will linger on clothes. 8/24 - Soda Snob layers really nicely with Eau Duelle EDT, the herbaceous notes cut through some of the sweetness and add interest. The combo earned me a “you smell really good” compliment from the cashier at, fittingly, my local pizza parlor.

This is a heavy, rich warm scent! Not to say it should be relegated to winter time only, but be careful of how much you spray (spoken as someone who doused themselves first time out the gate). I actually love how it performs in the heat. The lime note is sharp and fast, just there on first spray and lingers for about half an hour, but that's ok because it gives the toasted caramel/cinnamon/vanilla mix time to open and mellow. It's hard to explain the carbonation aspect, since it's there but not when you try to smell it. The slightly sharp, gaseous quality of carbonation, the smell you get when you put your nose into an open cup of McDonald's Coke as you go to take a sip, is there in the air around you, but when you go to smell your wrist you just get the warmth of the brown cola. It's honestly a very fun and tasty fragrance and it lasts ages on me, from when I leave for work to when I go to bed. As others have mentioned, it's less the smell of soda itself, but more like the parts of the soda stream into your cup. The carbonated water, the cola syrup, the lime wedge you add. Highly suggest if you've ever wondered what it would taste like to mainline coca cola syrup without the soda water mix in.

Spicy syrupy cola with zesty lime. I agree with someone else who said it smells like a craft soda vs coca-cola. The cinnamon spice stands out quite a bit to me but it doesn’t smell like a Christmas candle or Red Hots, it’s more like a root beer sarsaparilla kind of spicy. I don’t think this is a safe blind-buy. I’m not sure how I feel about it or where I’ll wear it. I don’t think it’s something I’ll want to reach for every day. I bought the Snif soda mixers bundle and will definitely be layering it with those to see if that makes it more wearable for me. 6/1/25 Edit: I’m back to say that this has really grown on me. It’s just a fun, sweet fizzy fragrance that feels appropriate any time of year. The spice and caramel make it great for cool weather but it also gives the feeling of a cold glass of coke on warm days. Although I don’t wear it every day, I do love smelling it. The longevity isn’t great but that’s true for a lot of Snif’s EDTs. Also, for what it’s worth people I’ve had blind smell did not pick up the cola at all, before or after I told them what it was.

This perfume doesn’t smell like any other I’ve ever smelled before. It definitely smells like Coca Cola. I’ve been layering it with Khadlaj Cream Velvet and it’s heavenly. Like a Vanilla Coke. I bought it without ever smelling it before, but I’m thinking it’s probably NOT a safe blind buy. EDIT: Smells just like a fresh fountain coke. Also Haribo Happy Cola gummies vibes. Fizzy and spicy with a hint of lime. Very sweet, not too floral. You can definitely smell the cinnamon. I can’t help but wonder how this would smell if they had used cherry instead of lime. I have never smelled a perfume that smells like this before. It’s very interesting, though not one I could wear everyday or even often, just occasionally when I’m feeling something different.

I LOVE the first spray of tart lime and cola. It quickly becomes stickier and sweeter as the lime disappears. If you overspray, it can linger -- I still smell it faintly the next day on fabric -- but it's less lime and sparkly cola, and more hot cola or fruit juices fermenting in the sun, which is as wearable as it sounds. I am still looking for something like this that stays fresh and bright over time instead of becoming sticky and musty. I'm hoping Kilian Born to Be Unforgettable will be that, but for now this is the best I've got for a fraction of the price. Update: Kilian's was not it, way too masculine. Soda Snob is still my favorite most realistic Cola perfume.

I love the fragrant journey this scent takes you through. It starts off with a mild citrus blast that is immediately followed by a syrupy "cola" trail. As it dries down, you really get the cinnamon and caramel followed lastly by the vanilla. I see some people comparing this to Tonka Cola by Mancera and though they are a bit similar, Soda Snob to me is much lighter, fresher, and effervescent that makes this a more photorealistic cola scent to my nose. While Tonka Cola gives me more winter/cold weather vibes, Soda Snob can easily be worn year round. I can also see this layering beautifully with many scents including it's release sister Slice Society.

The fizzy cola is so prominent for the first hour or so - I can smell the cinnamon spice and lime too. I really enjoy this as a spicy, summery fragrance (I generally associate spice with fall and winter). After a couple of hours the cola fades into caramel and light jasmine on my skin (has a tendency to amplify florals, which would explain why other reviewers haven't had this experience). The cola scent definitely lasts longer on my clothes, which is great because I enjoy it so much. I'm not so sure what's preventing me from loving this fragrance. I think I'll have to give it a few more wears. For now, it's a very high like!

It's a pretty good impression of coca cola. I love how this smells over my trader joes cacay oil body butter. Unfortunately it is a bit one note, I got pretty sick of wearing it regularly so I gifted it to my sibling. Now when I put on the body butter my partner asks me if I'm wearing my cola perfume even when I'm not so the scents definitely interlock nicely. I wish they were a bit more ambitious and leaned heavier into the jasmine note. it could have been spicy or something too, I feel like that would work well with the notes they were working with. but I get they were trying to stay true to the source.

This one goes through phases and smells different on different skin and clothing, but when it is good and the lime is clear (usually early on), it is very delightful and 5 star! It doesn't smell like other soda themed fragrances I have tested (Tonka Cola, Rouge Smoking, Coke Zero). I tested it side by side against Tonka Cola and it smells more syrupy with the addition of the lime and as others have mentioned, possibly more feminine and less spicy. But when the lime note fades, it is much less enjoyable for me personally, though I will keep testing and update as needed.

I think of the "weird" Snif fragrances, this one is simultaneously the most palatable and the most impressive. It really does have the effervescence of a bubbly soda, though for me I think it leans a little more Dr Pepper or root beer than Coca-Cola. The caramel and cinnamon in this would make it a nice selection as a fall fragrance, or even a transitional one from summer to fall, since it isn't too heavy. I got around 6 hours of wear out of this and it didn't give me a noticeable scent bubble, but is definitely distinctive if someone gives you a hug, etc.

Got this on a whim. Firs spritz smells like when someone around you sneezes and it stinks...However, after twirling around in the spritz and letting it dry down, it smells like a nice jasmine and lime scent which surprised me because it actually had me thinking "who smells good" then realized it was me. I layer this with a vanilla scent on top and it makes it smell like a coke zero vanilla scent. The only bad thing about it, is that the scent only lasts for an hour also i have to use the whole damn bottle for this to actually project.

Rich caramel with a fun fizzy sparkle on top. I’m getting a touch of lime and a twist of cinnamon. This doesn’t smell as strongly Coca-Cola-esque as I wanted. If you want straight soda, try Born to Be Unforgettable by Kilian. However, this still works, though it may not be as sharp. This is very sweet and caramelized, and really reminds you of the sugar content in soda. It’s really pretty on the dry down. This is a caramel fragrance at the end of the day, and a very well done one at that.

I like it! It's fun and it's meant to be. It does start off with a strong soda note which fades into a wearable sweet floral. On me, I will still get a whiff of soda all day, even though it weakens. Not blind buy safe. Regarding the BR540 comparisons - I think there is something in the Snif DNA with a few of their fragrances that mimic BR540 (Sweet Ash, Me for example) that is present here, but it wouldn't be my initial comparison. Very wearable for a kitschy scent.

Soda Snob is very unique, and as a result, pretty divisive. I personally really like it. It opens on a spicy, citrus cola scent that has that sparkly effervescent quality to it. As it dries down it goes from a sweet Haribo cola bottle candy scent to something a little more mature and serious. The cinnamon is very present in my opinion - the caramel and jasmine exist mostly in the sillage, which my husband finds very present. I’m happy to have this in my collection.

Like others have said, this smells realistically like a spicy artisanal cola with a slice of lime and maybe a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. I get just a hint of licorice too. Snif is so great at these foodie scents! I’m very impressed by this. Super unique and just plain fun. I’m not sure this is a scent I’ll reach for too often, but I’m adding it to my collection anyway just for the novelty. It’s just so quirky and good!

I was pleasantly surprised that this actually represents the smell of Coca Cola. As the title entails this perfume reminds me of a crisp Coke on a hot summers day, sweet and spicy yet refreshing. Although I don’t think I would wear this often, the scent feels juvenile to me like something a teenager would wear on a trip to mall with friends. Not really the vibe I’m looking for...

upon first spray i was hit by a spicy, almost gingery cinnamon note. it almost smelled more like dr pepper than coca cola. now that it's dried it does smell slightly more like a syrupy cola on my wrist, but the opening was significantly more spicy than i had thought it would be. on the dry down you get a floral cola, with just a hint of that original spice note.
