From your scent profile
Cuba Hot is a men's fragrance that ties the freshness of mandarin orange, bergamot and lemon to the sweetness of tonka bean and caramel.
Skunky's take: Opens sweet, so if sugar is not your thing, think twice.

It opens bright and citrusy with mandarin orange, bergamot, lemon and clary sage. In the heart, tonka bean and caramel take over, turning the scent gourmand and creamy. The base of vetiver, moss, white musk and patchouli adds a woody, earthy footing, while the spicy, resinous and oriental touches pull the sweetness towards dryness. Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal pour Homme and Lomani Royal have a close profile.
