Cuba Winner

Not as fresh as Aqua, Not as sweet as OG. I`ve payed 6USD(Bulgaria) for 100ml. Decent bottle and atomiser, was pleasent suprised. This one and Cuba Shadow are my first touch with this brand. On skin 1 hour strong projection, another hour medium, then 2 hours distinguish skinscent. On clothes maybe 50% better. But for 8-10% of the price of Pacco Rabanne, don`t mind to respray 2-3 times during the day. If someone interested, Cuba Shadow for me is much closer to Chanel Blue EDP then the EDT(my second purchase on same price tag). More depth, more mature scent. Projection is not good 30min, max an hour. Skinscent fot 3-4 more hours, a bit weak, but affordable for the price of 1/30 of Chanel. Perfect for office, school, no one will be offended.

On my skin exactly like Invictus, also good lasting aroung 5-6 hours (2-3 strong, 3-5 medium 6+ intimite) scent is good, cheap, good quality for the price. I got it for around 5 Euros and its beast. Good for clubbing, overal night time but good for day time too. Sweet bubblegummy fragrance. Rich and not really syntethic at least for my nose. overal 8/10

I love that this is only 6 euro on notino for the price it's a beast. for me it smells Ike a lemon lime drink and is perfect for the summer smells like mont blanc legend spirit and is a lovely fragrance

Smells exactly like Invictus and lasts longer.

My fragrance journey started off with cuba fragrances since my friend introduced me to them as being nice smelling and cheap. For an average highschooler that's all that is needed. Cuba fragrances are indeed very cheap and kinda nice smelling. Altough generally they are not strong nor long lasting. They are good for starting off in my opinion, since they have lots of clones of more popular and nicer fragrances, they may not be the best clones, i would say you can get the idea of what the would smell like but they are not close at all. Tho they have very wide range of fragrances across all categories sou you can really experiment on what type of smells you like or don't like without spending so much money. and when you have your likings you can buy the original scents or other frags in that category. As i gotten more into fragrances i realised they are not any more than that. You can get way better fragrances for a little mor or for the same price, but for experimenting they could work. (get the smaller bottles for that tough). This is a clone of Paco Rabanne Invictus. Iwould say it is preatty close to smelling like it. Kinda nice summer fragrance for dirt cheap! 4.5/10

My journey through the Cuba fragrances Pt 1. Never smelled Invictus before so I can't compare it like others are. But it doesn't matter because I really like this fragrance. It's really weak so go ahead and over spray the hell out of it throughout the day. Even at 20 sprays a day the 1.7ml will last a good while. It's "dirt cheap" so there really isn't too much to lose by trying it.

I got the 100ml bottle for 5 bucks, for this price, (the good smell of pr invictus and the performance of 5 6 hours), its really good

I have owned Cuba Paris Winner for some time. I got it after enjoying Cuba Prestige (Legacy) (the A*Men dupe), Cuba Royal (the 1 Million dupe with a 1 Million Prive like tobacco), Cuba Gold (the Le Male) and Cuba Wild Heart (the Ed Hardy Love and Luck dupe.) I knew this was an Invictus dupe when I saw it. So let me go out and say it, Cuba Winner has tons of challengers. Paco Rabanne Invictus and its flankers (not Intense), Montblanc Legend Spirit, Jimmy Choo Man Intense, Belcam Gladiator, Armaf Surf, Lomani Victory, Lomani Why Not, English Laundry Cambridge Knight and La Rive Brave to name a few. Does Cuba Winner do much different, no. The bay leaf from Invictus OG is there though which does make it stand out from a number of the dupes. But that is really it. There are water notes, lavender, jasmine and amber but that's it. So yeah, a stripped down Invictus clone. Performance is OK. I find sillage is light pushing moderate but it doesn't last. It lasts about four five hours tops. That isn't too bad considering Legend Spirit and Zara Crude (both EDTs) and Armaf Surf (an EDP) last as long. Pricing is better but is it worth the performance... That is debatable. Cuba Paris Winner can work as a casual wear due to performance. It is a summer and spring scent. Overall I have to give Cuba Paris a 5.8 out of 10. I would not suggest it as Lomani Why Not is a better cheap Invictus option.

My wife picked up a few Cuba flankers a few years back and this one has been shunned by me for a few reasons. It's just personal taste but aquatic notes rub me the wrong way. I can do the swiss army and coolwater scents for some reason but even nautica voyage has aquatic notes and they just irk me. This is a clean scent. Obviously aquatic (cucumber or melon scent is what I associate them as but....) I dont get much amber or patchouli as per the notes but it has a woody base against a fresh aquatic bergamot lavender top. Nothing incredible or life changine. Daily driver material . Simple clean masculine. You've smelled this variation by a buttload of perfumers and deodorant makers. I love the cuba line from wearing cuba gold for over 20 years daily with the wife. They stay for the day and are crazy value for the money. You could do a lot worse for a lot more money. It's an OK vote for me but that doesn't mean it's bad by any means. It's not my jam but a very respectable offering from the cuba line.

I'm confused by this one, because I'm not sure what exactly I'm smelling. It smells sweet. Not like sweet candy, fruit, or flowers, just sweet.... and fresh? A coworker of mine said it has a fresh linen smell to it, but I keep getting "mall fragrance" vibes from it, like I've just walked past Hollister or Abercrombie and Fitch and caught a whiff of something coming out the doors. And the other reviewers are claiming this is a near dead-on dupe of a fragrance that's beloved by the fragrance community that has rave reviews? Am I being punked, or is there something in this my post-Covid19 nose isn't picking up?

A good ultra cheap clone of Invictus. It does have a synthetic type smell, but what do you expect out of a scent you can get for like $4. For that price, it's not bad at all.

This doesn't really smell like Invictus. I can see that they tried to make it smell like that, but it didn't work out.If you want a good very cheap Invictus clone, try La Rive Brave Men which is much better quality and performance. That being said, Cuba Winner is not a bad smell at all. However, none of these Cuba Paris fragrants are worth your money because they last for about 20 minutes and then they're gone completely. I ordered a lot of Cuba Paris 35ml bottles and when the box arrived, one bottle was broken. When I unpacked it, more than half of the bottle spilled over my hands and my desk. If that would have happened with a higher quality fragrant, the whole house would have smelled like it for days. In this case, 1 hour later you couldn't smell it anymore. The only use I can imagine is to use them as a refresher for the toilet.

In short it's a budget version of PR Invictus original. Just a bit watered down and a bit harsher on the edges. Think it's ok. Lidl Essence Victory is a better generic clone of Invictus in my opinion but Cuba did a decent job.

I have smelt this on others who may have been wearing Invictus. Its this bubble gum crowd pleaser scent. Not bad.

it's basically exactly same scent of invictus. I don't really know how to distinguish both. it's so same to me.

Smells just like Invictus by Paco Rabanne...Gr8 Value+ The packaging looks so cool!

Have paid 4,75 euros for 100 ml bottle, Invictus clone with low performance .
