Cuba VIP for Men

A citrus, peppery, aromatic light scent that is safe, pleasant, has an adequate duration of 4hours and arm length sillage. The plot twist in this fragrance is the slight sweet turn it takes after an hour or so. It gives a strong clean-freshness impression. Xtreme Quality for the price this is available for.

Cuba Paris Cuba VIP is a stripped down Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Men. It noticably does not have the passion fruit open. Instead, we get pepper and minty open with some lemon in place of lime. The mid is vodka heavy with some apple and ginger. I want to say that there is a slight gin to it too. The base is amber, tonka and some woods (listed as ducke.) Cuba VIP doesn't perform all that bad. That said unless you are talking other direct 212 VIP clones such as 747 Club, you really do not find many 212 VIP clones. The closest is the Zara Tobacco Collection Dark Intense Exclusive or Trump Empire, which both do not have the boozy aspects. I get about 5 hours tops from VIP with OK sillage. That said, that is not typical of Cuba Paris fragrances. Cuba has good performance from Cuba Royal in particular. Cuba works in winter, spring, fall and even summer. It tries to be a night fragrance but doesn't perform. This will work casually and dates. That said despite being a "VIP" fragrance, it will get eaten up in the club. Cuba VIP I give a 6.5 out of 10. I have smelt much worse, but for what it tries to be, it falls flat.

My wife came back with a few Cuba flankers a while back. Being a daily driver of Cuba Gold for too long I was hoping these would be as nice. This is very similar in DNA to cuba Gold . The difference for me is that this is a bit more refined . It has a powdery masculinity to it. It seems more evening oriented in it's notes. I can't describe this well. It's ambery smoky and discrete . It's a clean scent. It's maculine like a man in casual dress or formal attire. It doesn't assault you with heavy woody or barbershop sharpness. The lemon ginger and pepper notes they mention are never front and center. Vodka? It's a safe blind buy in my opinion. I think this can definitely be a grab and go scent. daytime night time office whatever you're doing and need to smell nice. Never too woddy or too spicy or too sweet it's one of those just right scents. I needed to wear something neutral to me today . I have gotten new fragrances and the variety and novelty is turning me off scents. I decided to gravitate toward singature easy wear scents just to not feel assaulted by the perfumes I just got.

Absolutely gorgeous. Opens up with vodka fresh spicy and what I perceive to be Juniper. Greens can be strong but after it dries down goes to a woody warm green path. The sillage and Longevity is what you pay for but I find 13 -14 sprays can get it working. 7/10 on the total scale but 10/10 for the price.

smells like vanilla icecream cookie. it's quite similar as Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Men. it's really good for daily use!
