What does Cuba Gold (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Pink pepper's bite and grapefruit's freshness come first. In the heart, lavender and vetiver lead, giving the scent a woody, powdery feel. The base is dominated by amber and vanilla, which makes it oriental, gourmand and clearly sweet.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter not far behind, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear. Most voters read it as masculine. Jean Paul Gaultier Le Mâle Terrible and Rabanne Invictus Victory have a close profile.
