What does Cuba (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

It opens fresh, green and lightly citrusy, with juniper berry and Provençal herbs leading. At the heart, honey and tobacco soften that coolness and add a spicy warmth. In the base, patchouli and vetiver take over, and the scent dries down earthy and green.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. It suits anyone who likes a green, spicy fougère, regardless of gender. Louis Vuitton Orage and Galimard Citoyen (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
