This was way too screechy a floral for me when I first tried it, but as I’ve let it sit for a few months, it’s definitely smoothed out and sweetened quite a lot. It’s still quite floral forward which is not my go-to, but I can appreciate it a lot more now that I can actually smell the amber and vanilla. I also get a bit of lime but it’s pretty light, as well as cypress and patchouli but they’re both quite far in the background. It has moderate sillage and lasts about 8 hours on me.

I usually find coca cola perfumes much too spicy and not sweet enough (apart from Soda Snob which is a caramel cola dream), but this is a fluffy, lightly sweet, and a bit of a powdery cola scent. The cola note is actually pretty faint and fades within 10 minutes on my skin leaving behind marshmallowy caramel goodness. I don’t really get any fruity or woody notes. Has minimal sillage and lasts about 7 hours on me.

Extremely faint and clean smelling. Has more of a soapy smell to my nose than something gourmand. It’s not really sweet at all, just a bit musky. I don’t really smell…any of the notes listed. Based on my experience with fragrances in similar scent families, I’m assuming that I’m nose blind to this. I saw that this was compared to Vietnamese Coffee and although I’m nose blind to Croissant Cafe, Vietnamese Coffee is a strong coffee scent.

Definitely smells like pear gelato with a distinct waffle cone note, but the pear feels quite artificial on the dry down. That being said, it’s quite nice and the waffle cone really adds beautiful depth especially as it develops more strongly a few hours in. The vanilla adds a bit of creaminess, but I can’t say I necessarily smell any milk. Has minimal sillage and lasts about 7 hours on me.

To me, this is a classic men’s cologne type of scent. It’s super spicy, green, and a bit woody. Way too screechy for my nose and it’s by far my least favourite of the Coexistence Collection. It’s honestly a bit stomach turning for me. I don’t really get cardamom, frankincense, or distinct florals, but I do smell pine, cypress, coriander, sage, patchouli, and tea tree, with the tiniest hint of rum and oud in the background. It’s quite [pungent] strong with only one spray going a long way and it lasts about 8 hours on me. I can see lots of people enjoying it, but it’s absolutely not for me.
