What does Alma de Cuba smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, and night out and evening are the occasions it leans towards. Though unisex, the largest share of voters reads it as masculine.

The scent is warm and dense throughout: Ceylonese cinnamon, clove and Kashmiri saffron carry the spice, while Bourbon vanilla, African cocoa, Cuban rum and Colombian coffee deepen the sweetness. Cuban tobacco adds smoke, Indonesian sandalwood adds wood, and labdanum, Siam benzoin and Tolu balm form a resinous base. Lavender absolute and bergamot loosen the heavier notes a little. Pineward Velvetine and Jinx Tawny have a close profile.
