I understand that by year of manufacture Orchid Soleil by Tom Ford predates Cocaïne by Franck Boclet... therefore it must be a very, very similar interpretation of tuberose note.
After spraying it for the first time on my skin I automatically found the memory of Orchid Soleil... without analyzing its notes and letting my most primitive part of the brain flow, it reminded me of Oraldine brand mouthwash or drug store. Cocaïne has a strident, synthetic output that suggests the essence of a poison, possibly due to the mixture of orange and white flowers... I'm still looking for the tobacco note they say it has.
The perfume advances and evolves towards a tropical, fruity, sweet and pleasant essence. Monoi, tuberose, orchid, vanilla and some caramel close this perfume.
¿It´s for man, woman or unisex? I think Cocaïne is unisex... but not every man and woman can wear it. I dont see this perfum in a man with tracksuit on sunday going to buy the sport paper.
¿Would you buy it for me? no... but I would always have a 5ml vial for the right occasion where CocaÏne is going to generate curiosity around you. Situations where you know this perfume will make you feel like this was the right time and place to wear it. Always muffling the first phase of the perfume before going out at home.

I decided on Prolixe because it had the notes of tobacco and oud, but the reality was a somewhat fruity start between pink and purple and a dark and seductive evolution. Complex and confusing is not easy to like at first sight.
Prolixe is something dark, like a shadow that appears and disappears throughout use. It is developed flat in two stages: opening and drydown.
Can detect the notes as hint of saffron, cardamom, olibanum, rose and oud with tobacco.
Opening with ginger, olibanum and deep rose. The rose will be present until the end, fading little by little to make way for patchouli and tobacco and oud.
It lasts a long time on my skin... but a long time. More than 8 hours in my skin. This projects very well.
I don't think it's unisex...but in my girlfriend I would like to smell it.
Fabulous fragrance but too expensive.

This flanker of LNDH have same bottle style, same packaging, same recognizable DNA from the origin LNDH. An electric blue liquid inside the bottle very similar to a dilution of Methylene Blue.
With the application you detect bergamot, ginger and creamy cardamom. A sweet and spicy scent. Some speak of an intermediate phase of lavender but in my opinion I think there is no intermediate phase but rather a drying of lavender-vanilla thanks to the vetiver-cedarwood combo.
Overall very round and easy to like. Ideal for use in events and nights out... but I use it indiscriminately at any time of the day. I think YSL has somewhat touched the duration on this flanker due to the complaints in the past... it is perceived to last a little longer.

I was looking for another perfume with a tobacco and hay note and I found Issawa. Looking at the notes I discovered that it had coumarin, a note that I had never smelled before. Curiosity led me to buy the perfume and it was partly a mixed success.
As for the presentation, the perfume comes in a shiny "patented" box with the house logo on the front. Inside, a kind of beige velvet keeps the bottle.
The bottle is 50ml glass, quite heavy for how small it is. A golden cap with the logo on the top and with the name of the house engraved on it. Cap without magnet, pressure.
Three notes command the back of the outer cardboard box: Salvia, Pino and Tonka Bean.
A little herbal at the outset, you can see the sage and something alcoholic, possibly due to the pine, but very, very soft, delicately treated. Playing cluelessness seems to smell like hay, dry hay. After a few minutes you begin to notice the coumarin and the tobacco, all very, very subtly. I detect notes of ambergris and oakmoss. The development of the perfume is more or less 2-3 hours and the duration (On the skin) more than 5 hours. It is not a bomb, on the contrary, it is a perfume for personal and individual enjoyment. I think it's rare that someone can tell you how good you smell.
The aroma is a delight but its little sillage and power may put many buyers off. Very well balanced and without shrillness. Totally unisex. For any season of the year...although I think that in summer it will evaporate more than normal.
It can be used either day or night.
I do not recommend this perfume to users who might be looking for a radioactive or nuclear perfume in Issawa
