ZOMG Smells Dr. Zomg's Cure-Alls General Catalog Perfume Oil (Available)
The recipe for modern Coca-Cola is trademarked, of course, but the recipe for the original stimulating syrup is public domain. They're not quite the same thing, partially because the coca-leaf extract in the modern version has been, and this is a real word, "decocainized". (Our smell, naturally, also contains no cocaine. Drat?)
This is the great-grandfather of the modern recipe, venerable and august. It's bracing with citrus and rich with spice, plus a few other odd bits and bobs that were probably sitting in an opportune location in the stockroom when the recipe was compounded. Bitter orange, lemon, lime, coriander, cinnamon, nutmeg, neroli, and INGREDIENT X. Ooooooh.
