Blame Tom Ford Tuscan Leather, but with a name like Cocaine, I expected this to be harsher, heavier and maybe leathery. Although I believe this fragrance is named after the Eric Clapton song and not the drug. The first time I wore this, I went into it blindly and I had no idea what was happening, so I gave it second and third wear.

Cocaine is a sweet, creamy, white floral with a minty edge. Straight from the opening you get the tuberose, which is a little bit sharp, but it soon becomes smoother and creamier. There’s a load of vanilla and caramel underneath, but the sweetness comes off very sugary. In addition, it has a tropical element, because Cocaine utilizes monoi oil, which I’ve learned is made of floral petals soaked in coconut oil. In the drydown, you get a bit of smokiness, probably coming from the listed tobacco note, although it’s not something I can clearly pick up on as tobacco.
