SmokyWhat does Cuba Black (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick it for evening wear, with daily use and leisure close behind, and it also fits nights out and the office. It reads clearly masculine.
Sandalwood, woods and basil form the backbone, while lavender and musk soften the woody structure. A light sweetness sits in the background and the citrus and fresh accords keep it bright. Cuba Prestige Legacy and Axe Pulse share a close profile.
