What does Cuba Shadow smell like?

Mint and citrus notes give the scent a cool, crisp feel. Pink pepper, ginger and nutmeg add a spicy edge to that freshness, while the smoky and synthetic accords stay in the background. Its chypre and fougère structure gives it the lines of a classic men's fragrance.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close rather than leaving a heavy trail. Only a few people have rated it, so that picture is a rough guide at best. Made for men, it sits close in profile to Armaf Tag-Him and Armaf Voyage Bleu.
