Cuba Authentic Bold

So....I've had this for a few months and just saw it on here today. This is the only scent in this line I have seen or tried, but at their price point I usually blind buy and at worst give away. This juice isn't bad as far as the scent itself. Opens up peppery aromatic, with a heavy hand of lavender and some amber. There's definitely some musk in the early dry down but the pepper dissipates at this point as well. On skin this is an ambery lavender with some spice and is rather linear but thats to be expected. Off clothes there is less lavender dominance and a bit (and I do mean a bit) more spicie. I love aromatics especially in this style as an everyday casual fragrance. At 4 hours this just meets the minimum requirements for keeping and wearing. At $7 to $10, worth it. It is by far not a must have, but works for casual daytime stuff, office safe and unassuming but nonetheless uninspiring. Added note. Wearing this in the cold reminds me of Ferragamo Aqua Essenziale Blue not so much as a clone but inspired by. Also has a deep note reminiscent of root beer similar to Cuba Royal but again buried below the aromatics. Still nice for the $7 I spent.

Goodness gracious. Cuba Bold is a Invictus clone that is muted and could pass as a body spray/body mist. It's truly Invictus with a slightly green (?) flair coming from a combo of (presumably based on the notes) sage and patchouli. No need to add another Invictus clone to my or your wardrobe if you don't desire.

I wonder if Montale knows about this

LOL these bottles are embarrassing
