What Is Paris Corner Emir Cherry Cola a Dupe Of?

Paris Corner Emir Cherry Cola is a clone of Mancera Tonka Cola. We rate the similarity at 85%. If the idea of cherry cola with cinnamon and a sweet, warm base appeals to you, this is the comparison to look at.

Why Cherry Cola gets compared with Tonka Cola

The connection goes well beyond the names. Both note profiles bring together cherry, lemon, cinnamon and nutmeg, then put cola in the middle with patchouli and orange blossom. Tonka bean, vanilla, benzoin and labdanum give both bases a sweet, resinous direction.

That's quite a specific combination. The citrus and spice help explain the fizzy-drink idea, while the warmer base gives the comparison more to work with than a simple cherry scent. If you're picturing a glass of cold soda, remember that both descriptions also include plenty of vanilla, tonka and balsamic warmth.

How close is the match?

We put the similarity at 85%. The shared cola-and-spice theme is the reason to consider Cherry Cola, but matching note lists don't tell you how sweet, sharp or rounded each blend will feel.

We'd pay attention to the balance between the cherry, cinnamon and cola when sampling them. Those are the details that can make this kind of fragrance feel more like spiced cola, cherry candy or a warmer vanilla scent. Which version you prefer depends on the part of Tonka Cola you enjoy most.

The panels below keep the existing catalog wording. Cherry Cola names black cherry, Sicilian lemon and Coca-Cola; the Mancera panel uses shorter cherry, lemon and cola labels. Mancera's own description also specifies black cherry and Sicilian lemon, so those shorter labels don't establish a different ingredient.

Who should try it?

We'd shortlist Cherry Cola for someone who wants that distinctive cola theme with warm spices and sweetness underneath. If you mainly want cherry, try it first to see whether the cola and cinnamon are part of the appeal for you too.
