What does Tumbao - Cuba smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate: it neither projects from across the room nor vanishes quickly. Most voters pick fall, then spring, with winter and summer a little behind. Daily, business and evening wear are voted almost equally. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine.

It opens with grapefruit, lemon and bergamot, while Thai ginger adds an edge. Cardamom and water jasmine form the heart. The base of amberwood, vetiver, tobacco and rum leaves a sweet, woody warmth, and red chili carries a spicy trace underneath. The accords are fresh, citrusy and spicy.
