Cuba Blue

I bought the ubiquitous Cuba "four pack" for next to nothing at Ross and found the Blue extremely pleasant to wear in our current hot weather. It does seem rather light and floral for a "man's" scent. But on my (woman's) skin it is wonderfull. The top notes are lavender and spices, and a bit in your face. But it almost immediately settles down to a very close, light, spicy floral. I sprayed my skin and clothing liberally and left for work with no fear of offending. I caught whiffs of it throughout the morning and could smell it clearly on my skin if I sniffed closely. On my clothing the top notes seemed to last longer. One of the most pleasant aspects of the dry down, for me, is a soft papery smell that cuts through the residual floral notes. The paper smell reminds me of the cured tobbaco leaves used to wrap cigars and it seem to soften the floral spice and make it really smooth and soothing. Sillage is slight and duration about four hours. Having just learned that I can't stand the citrusy flowery sweetness of Acqua di Gioia, I am very happy to have found an inexpensive warm weather scent that practices floral restraint while still providing a pleasant olfactory experience.

Simply fantastic ! It has a very rich expensive vibe to it! I wear this pretty often. I have over 50 colognes that I love but I choose this one frequently. It has awesome water notes but they're not overdone. Reminds me of being at the beach, toes dug in the sand with a cold beverage in hand ! Scent Rating 4 out of 5 ! Price ~ 5-10 dollars !

Out of all the varieties I like the blue the best. I had the multi pack and once I used it up I bought the large bottle. For the price you can't go wrong. I don't get all the hate and comparisons to other brands. It is definitely worth a try. It is made in France which surprised me.

I think this fragrance is a beast for the price I think the smell is just like the likes of ck1 or azzaro chrome very good would recommend

This was initially suggested (like a decade ago) to be an alternative to Azzaro chrome; The scent trail resembles more of CK One and dries down to a rather musky sandalwood and oakmoss which is pleasant. The price is cheap - I got this in a 4 pack along with other variety at a rack store; This opens up citrusy with hint of herbal/green accord, and is pleasantly synthetic. Lasts about 6 hours, stronger projection first 2 hours or so. It is a good cheapie and a gym scent
