What does Cuba Red smell like?

Its notes read as a single blend: spices, woods, tobacco and moss. A fresh air runs alongside a sweet base, with spicy, oriental and smoky accords leading and earthy and leathery touches staying in the background.

Longevity is rated weak and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn, then spring and winter, with summer well behind. It is worn for daily use, at work and in the evening, and its character is seen as masculine and classic. Swiss Arabian Amir and Banderas Spirit VIP for Men have a close profile.
