Cuba Prestige Black

Very beautiful creations! I have a little "Cool Water" impression ..... But it may be the Swiss Army is striking similarities ... (I do not know!) However, so get your money: - High Longevity - Super Sillage - Fresh mood - Quality scent Even the glass is uniqueness! I think in difficult times, tight wallet great reception and pleasant disappointment! If this line continue, "Cuba" will be very good for the directions !!!

Wow this is great for it's low price,I smell lavender,mint,jasmine and a little bit of a woody base,smells a little like armani code,anyways my sister actually told me that this perfume smelled wonderful,it reminded her of when she was in italy!

Cuba Paris Cuba Prestige Black is a weird mix of fragrances. To my nose it is in the same realm as say a Davidoff Cool Water or Coty Aspen for Men but without the aquatic and super green notes (minus mint) with a spicy side to it. If those two were tacos, this would be with a spicier taco seasoning used from a dirty taco truck, rather than those two clean classics. Due to the spice I notice some similarities to another Coty fragrance that I believe came after the release of this. That being Coty Stetson Caliber. Is that a direct smell like, no. BUT they are both spicy woody scents. Cuba Prestige Black is pepper heavy in its open with some mint to it. The mid is floral but continues the spice with corriander which makes it smell similar to Rocawear 9IX (minus the citrus). The base is dominated by musk and a tobacco like scent that maybe oakmoss. Prestige Black lasts about five hours on my skin with moderate sillage for about 30 minutes before going down to soft for about an hour and a half. The rest of the time is spent as a skin scent. I find Cuba Prestige Black a nice replacement to Coty Aspen/Cool Water but it is not as good as Coty Stetson Caliber. For this reason I rate it a 7.3. It’s better than Coty Aspen is especially at its retail price. It's also far from the worst Cuba fragrance I've bought (Cuba Prestige Legacy, I'm looking at you) but it's not a Cuba Prestige or Cuba Royal which I LOVE.

Another solid clone from the Cuba house and my 2nd favorite from the Cuba house with my favorite being Cuba Gold. So describe this scent I'd say this is a fresh out of the shower scent that's fresh,green,dryer sheet type of scent that in the dry down gets slightly spicy and mossy. This stuff is very pleasant and I can see this getting compliments and it's also very inoffensive. Now onto to other scent this smells like. Yes, this is a clone of Swiss Army but to be honest this smells more like Swiss Army Sport. However, in the drydown this also slightly resembles Rocawear 9IX. Performance on this actually pretty good as it lasts 6-8 hours and has moderate projection without being overpowering which would make this a perfect work fragrance. Now to answer the question of "Is this a good replacement of Swiss Army?" I would definitely say YES as this is half the price,has decent performance and the smell is very close. I personally slightly prefer the smell of the original Swiss Army but for half the price I'm going to stick with this. Also the original Swiss Army can become cloying in crowded or hot environments whereas Prestige black works in any environment making it more versatile. Overall rating--- 7 out of 10 ! Great scent for a steal of a price !!!

I don't think this fragrance would appeal to everyone, but I quite like it for its unusualness. It's very "soapy" with an aldehyde-lavender-olive flower combo in the heart- very dry in feel, with dry spices (agree with the black pepper and coriander seeds) and I smell basil- not mint- adding a lovely green quality along with bay laurel. It's unlike anything I've ever smelt except maybe Boss Spirit- though it does resemble GIT on the drydown (and CW and Aspen), but lacks the watery/ozonic note (to clarify: Prestige Black is definitely *not* an aquatic). The lower heart exposes geranium/rose and juniper. The base is mostly white musk, with orris, coumarin and something resembling oakmoss, making this a neo-aromatic-fougere. I'm wearing this on a cool, spring day where I feel it fits the season perfectly; I would also wear it on a similarly crisp, autumn day. It's a bit too "clean" for me to consider it an evening fragrance.
