Cocaine

The Story

Part of Franck Boclet’s provocative Rock & Riot collection, Cocaine takes the French house’s rock-and-roll attitude and applies it to a bold, addictive tuberose. Named in the brand’s deliberately edgy style, it is a cult favourite prized for its huge, animalic white-floral presence. Our interpretation rebuilds it at a far higher oil concentration.

How It Smells

This is a huge, intoxicating tuberose given the rock-star treatment. It opens warm and sweet, with a smoky tobacco, bitter orange, red berries, and caramel that give a rich, generous start. The heart is all carnal white flowers: a massive, creamy tuberose laced with lily and a slightly indolic orchid, potent and sultry. As it settles, a tropical monoi oil, vanilla, and earthy patchouli give a warm, milky, sensual base. Bold, floral, and audacious, it is a big, sillage-heavy scent that makes a statement.

The Notes

Top: bitter orange, red berries, tobacco, caramel. Heart: tuberose, lily, orchid. Base: monoi oil, vanilla, patchouli.

How Our Version Compares

Our interpretation rebuilds Cocaine at 40 percent perfume oil, a far higher concentration than the lighter eau de toilette and eau de parfum sprays most people know, where the actual oil content is often only a small fraction of that. Made in the EU to careful standards, it is formulated to track the character you remember while giving you stronger projection and noticeably longer wear on skin. Because the oil load is so high, a little goes a long way: one or two dabs at the pulse points is usually enough for the day, and the scent unfolds slowly through its top, heart, and base over many hours rather than burning off within the first one. An oil based fragrance also sits closer to the skin and reacts to your own warmth and chemistry, so the way it develops on you will be subtly your own rather than identical to anyone else. If you want to stretch the wear even further, apply it to freshly moisturised skin, which holds the oils far better than dry skin and slows down evaporation. Storing it away from heat and direct light will also keep the blend smelling true for longer. This is an independent interpretation inspired by the original accord, blended in our own workshop, and it is not the branded fragrance itself.

Common Questions

Is this the original Franck Boclet fragrance? No. It is our independent interpretation of the accord, rebuilt at 40 percent perfume oil.

Is it unisex? Yes. It is a bold tuberose worn by men and women alike, though its big, carnal character is not for the shy.

Is it a strong perfume? Yes. It is known for massive sillage and longevity, and our high oil version projects powerfully, so apply sparingly.

When should I wear it? Its rich, sultry warmth suits autumn and winter and evenings, when a statement scent shines.
