Cuba La Vida

A pretty decent dupe for La Vie Est Belle for a fraction of the cost! This performs a bit more like a body spray with just a couple hours of longevity with better retention on fabric than bare skin. I also find this one a bit stronger on the fruits and patchouli in the opening, and after a while the florals shine through. It's nice to just throw in your bag and spritz when needed.

I really like it because it is evocative, if cheap. Ye ol' penny candy shop of yesteryear smell, with patch.

A near perfect La Vie Est Belle Dupe. I own both.

I bought a 4 sample pack of Cuba perfumes and honestly this is the only interesting one. Starts off very sweet in an overly ripe fruit kind of way, but almost headache inducing. It's the dry down that has a smoky , amber vibe I find interesting. This is a very strong scent that lasts hour after hour. Way too strong, there is nothing subtle about this. I would not buy a full bottle. Cuba perfumes run on the inexpensive side and this smells inexpensive.

This is like a mist/body spray. It does not last long but is ok for the price i think. It smells like la vie est belle, mon paris. Those are perfumes with a high dose of patchouli. If you dont like patchouli as a star note in a perfume, then you wont like this perfume. It smells patchouli and black currants

I know most people have said this smells like LVEB, but these berries & patchouli actually give me Mon Paris vibes... a sweet & girly scent for one tenth of the cost. Only thing, the longevity is around 1 or 2 hours.

Love this but unfortunately it doesn’t last but a couple hours😕 The most GORGEOUS Early Fall, Late Summer Scent too. Black Current and Vanilla rein over this scent. Just a gorgeous scent overall but like I said, it doesn’t last at all. I’m refraining from Perfume Purchases pretty much, everything is so Watered Down that it’s not worth my money to spend anymore. What a shame that it’s come to this now.😕

Novelty of the Bottle Only purchase👎 not for me. Smells like you just walked out of bar that people smoked inside

On my skin stays maybe 1h with weak sillage. It smells nice, very similar to LVB.

Similar to La Vie Est Belle just weaker and a lot cheaper.
