at the beginning it does smell like coca cola for a good half an hour, after that it becomes a very gourmandy, sweet and quietly spicy late/datenight sent, one might say a generic gourmandy latenight scent but i think it's pretty good. very underrated. never smelled the original mancera but i guess this ones pretty close to the og as most pp scents are. longevity also good with this one.
Yet another amazing dupe. I agree that the opening differs slightly, comparing the OG to PP's Kola Bean. But I also that in a matter of minutes it's the same scent-journey. And it really is a journey this scent. On my skin, anyaway. Personally, I don't get a "wow this is straight up cola!" - that goes for both the OG and this. I do appreciate the cola-vibes, though, but only for the first half hour or so. Opens with a blast (..or a -ZING!!-) of spicy zesty citrus and developes slowly over the next couple of hours. After the first intense zestyness it gives way to something warmer, cozier.. Caramel-sugery, bergamot, lemon, cardemom, vanilla.. Idk. On my skin it dries down to a somewhat dry woody and warm smell.
Yadayada. Anyway: IT'S GOOD ;-D.
I would definitely save the money and get Kola Bean. Lasts for hours on skin and forever on clothes (as Saintly S and Sliced Apple - 2 of my favorite Kilian-dupes from PP)
Impeccable quality at a low cost, wide range of products to choose from (homefragrances, soaps, candles), fast and safe delivery (I live in DK), constant shipment-updates via mail. I am simply in love with Perfume Parlour <3
Amazing perfumes
I bought the original after getting the PP version. While the opening is better on the real thing this is short lived and they dry down rapidly to exactly the same fragrance. Save your money and get the PP version. I'll be selling my gen bottle very shortly. Thanks PP. Yet another banger. You must want to smell like Coca Cola though 😅
