"I'm a Pepper, He's a Pepper, We're a Pepper.", "Be a Pepper.", "Wouldn't you like to Be a Pepper too?"
Researching notes on our newest fragrance: Dr Pepper, the history we uncovered is amazing.
In 1885, one year before the invention of Coca-Cola, a young pharmacist named Charles Alderton began experimenting by mixing different fruit flavors together at The Old Corner Drug Store on Fourth Street and Austin Avenue in Waco,Texas. The resulting concoction would become the formula for Dr Pepper.
What are the 23 flavors?
The 23 flavors are cola, cherry, licorice, amaretto (almond, vanilla, blackberry, apricot, blackberry, caramel, pepper, anise, sarsaparilla, ginger, molasses, lemon, plum, orange, nutmeg, cardamon, all spice, coriander juniper, birch and prickly ash.
Mr. Alderton successfully recreated the smell of his pharmacy which ended up becoming the smell of Dr Pepper. People say there are still places you can buy the original Dr Pepper made with real cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup but supposedly it does not taste as good as people have reported. They say it tastes really strange and does not taste like the Dr Pepper we all know and love today. Have you tried it? Where (comment blow). We're on a mission to try the good stuff.
Not only can Dr Pepper be served cold but it can also be served hot. Serving Dr Pepper warm was created as a winter time drink. To make this drink you will need: Dr. Pepper, a lemon, a mug and a saucepan. First you pour the soda into the saucepan and heat it to 180 degrees. Once the soda is heated up you pour it into a mug that has a slice of them lemon in it to give it flavor.
Dr Pepper is the only known soda pop that can be served hot and cold. Both renditions of Dr Pepper are known and love worldwide by fans. Currently Dr Pepper is the most popular soda pop out on the market.

Mix + Match
We were simply overwhelmed with the launch of our Dr Pepper perfume. We received so many requests for Dr Pepper Cherry, we made it happen. If you'd like to try a different Dr Pepper concoction, feel free to mix and match Dr Pepper with any of our scents from the Soda Pop collection.
So if the original is on your favorites list, you're bound to love the sequels. But can you love all Dr Pepper flavors equally? Dr Pepper + Cream Soda, anyone. So good. Which is your favorite blend?

This is the fragrance I have been searching for since 2020! I have tried so many different perfumes, body sprays, solid perfume, and I have wasted so much money. I finally found my signature scent with Dr. Pepper!
