Cabana

In a nutshell this smells identical to Cuba Gold pretty much (I’d say 90%) with some very subtle differences. The differences being Cabana is slightly more airy where Cuba gold has more vanilla in the base. For those that haven’t smelled Cuba Gold. Cabana is a fresh,warm,comforting smell but also has some richness to it ! Almost reminiscent to a lavender/vanilla candle . This to me is a relaxing but also appealing scent and I’m always surprised as both Cuba Gold and Cabana both get very good compliments in my world and in fact better than most niche scents ! Performance is also where Cuba Gold is slightly better as it has very noticeable projection where Cabana has average projection and Cuba Gold also lasts 8-12 hours whereas Cabana lasts 6-8 hours. Overall rating -7.5 out of 10 ! Very lovely smell that gets compliments,is pleasing and is very well priced

Absolute gem of a fragrance. It’s a scent that feels both luxurious and inviting. Very warm and cozy but also fresh at the same time, despite the main notes being vanilla, lavender and I'd also say cinnamon. Have gotten only positive feedback on it while wearing it (15+ people). Only downside is the longevity. I notice it wearing down in about 2 hours. Strongly recommended!

This is my dad's and my brother's signature scent :) It is so sweet, so nice and not overwhelming at all. It is very similar to le Male by JPG and Blue Jeans by Versace. It is mostly a mix of lavander, cinnamon and vanilla, slightly cola-like. I just adooore it, it is one of my favourite men scents and it is also incredibly cheap as well!

I got this as a replacement for my beloved Le Male which crashed and spilled out.... it's indeed almost identical butthe longevity is a joke. The sillage is surprisingly good in the first few minutes though. I HATE the bottle though - has nothing to do with the scent or the OG. I might refill the juice in the original bottle 🔜

Greetings everyone, I have tried this cologne in a local supermarket. It costs around 6-7 EUR in Europe and is made in Poland. La Rive is a Polish cosmetics company mostly specializing in production of various "dupes" and "clones" of well known brands. This is a direct clone of Le Male. Sweet vanilla scents are easier to reproduce, that is the case with Le Male and One Million. But it is also very funny that the name of this frag is semantically similar to that of Cuba Gold, while the bottle itself reminds us of Whisky Original frag. Whisky Original and Cuba Gold are fragrances that were made before Le Male. This frag, surprisingly has some dignity. La Rive has failed miserably with some of their clones, however they managed to replicate the feeling of the three fragrances I have mentioned earlier. I can actually recommend this as a substitute for Le Male, as it is very close to Cuba Gold, yet a bit more sweeter and sugary. Verdict 8/10 in Cheapie category. It is not the best clone of Le Male in the market, but you cannot get a better dupe for this price. Original Le Male has better projection/longevity and is more fresh, rather than sweet in the background. Minty I would say. Cuba Gold is very similar to this frag, frankly speaking I would have trouble telling which one is which. It is also a bit more expensive than La Rive frag we have in mind. Evaflor Whisky is a bit more "rough" than any of the frags previously mentioned and is sometimes sold for almost exactly the same price as Cabana. Take your pick. regards, AJ

Sweet cinnamon-cardamom scent. Did a quick sniff of my wrist at the store and it was like a darker, woodier, mildly herbal version of Cash, another men's fragrance from La Rive. Like with a lot of La Rive perfumes, it doesn't carry very far and fades away in approximately two hours or so, but that's just my perception. Surprisingly stylish for a total cheapo, maybe a fit for a young bloke getting his first perfume to try out, but doesn't want any overt sweetness or a too sporty harsh feel. That's not to say this is somehow exclusively masculine or uncarriable by ladies. Pleasant, spicy vanilla reminiscent of some wood scents. It's pretty nice. Inoffensive without being woefully boring. This is like Cash's slightly more thoughtful, mature and quieter brother. Someone said barbershop and I agree.

The scent is very, very warm and sweet, perfect for winter time. In case of setting, I'd say it's mostly a night-time scent, good for clubbing. Slightly seductive, although not exactly what I would describe as "sexy". It has strong feminine vibes in it, so be cautious. Slightly balsamic as well. Performance wise, very average. 4-5 hours peak, maybe some slight notes over the next two hours. Overall it's a very pleasant scent, but nothing fancy or to impress. I'd say it's perfect to use to smell good to somebody close who'd you've known from a long time, because it gives very "personal warmth" and lovely vibes. Definitely not to use to impress somebody you're just meeting. Overall, about 5/10.

My brother has this. We think it's reminiscent of a barber shop. Clean, soft powder. Not baby powder. More fresh, not sweet. Suitable as an everyday casual scent. Would not offend anyone. Good for work/school. For warm and cold weather. Can smell it as someone walks past. Unisex, leans masculine. It's a very good and refreshing scent that we genuinely like. I think it's totally worth it for the price. The quality improves greatly over time. Great to layer it with strong vanilla/sweet fragrances to make it more gourmand, or with spicy fragrances to make them fresher. Scent: 8/10 Longevity: 8/10 (after maceration) Price: 10/10

Sure, the longevity is short, and sillage could be better, but it's a great value for everyday wearing. Surprisingly, the cinnamon/cardamon mixes with flowery scents into a woody combination. After around 2-3 hours, the smell gets less intense, more sweet, and can be smelled closer to the application spot, so not everybody can smell it, but you definitely can, so it can be worn as a personal olfactory treat. Feels casual, not luxurious, creating a non-pretentious feeling. Definitely shows that it wants to be a male-only fragrance, however I believe it can be unisex and wouldn't feel out of place. 7.5/10

Wow, I sniffed it by mistake and I fell in love with it! Really soft and sweater than I imagine a mans perfume would be... I really really like it, on a man or a woman. I could not say how long lasting it is, but after putting it on my wrist and then washing hands two times, I still had a warm and soft scent lingering. I will get it for myself. I might wear it too, but if not, I would still like to have it around to be able to feel the nice scent from time to time.

This fragrance kind of dissapointed me, though its not bad at all. I thought it would be a nice, warm winter fragrance. It turns out it actually smells a little fresh and definitely very clean. I dont get the mossy/woody note in this. Now when it comes to the price tag, its dirt cheap. Today I bought a 30 ml bottle for less than 4 euros. Overall, for sure a fragrance worth buying, would recommend.

Very much reminds me of the OG Le Male in the opening with a very decent dry down. The silage is pretty okay but the longevity is (to be expected) not that great. But for the price you're buying a homage to the OG Le Male that just needs a few more sprays from time to time. I give it a 4/5

It smells sweet and clean the vanilla note is smooth and it kind of reminds me of the sunscreen . I would Wear it in every season aaaand it is more like Unisex because of the sweetness it has. The best fregnance from this brand in my opinion.

A very light frag, that's a mixture of lavender and vanilla. I like it. Probably won't use it other than while going to the store or around the house. I don't see myself buying it again, even when it costs pennies.

This smells like a barbershop (which isn't a bad thing). The longevity and projection are really good for 5€. You can't really go wrong with this since it's so cheap.

It's an ok fragrance for the price, the cinnamon and vanilla work well together, it's nothing like Le Male, JPG, D&C like people have said so don't expect that.

Fragrance that I have mixed feelings about. Sometimes I love it, sometimes I hate it. At the first sniff, I smelled a beautiful vanilla layered with cardamom and a little bit of lavender in the background. Paradoxically, it was a hot summer's day when this fragrance mimicked a sandy beach with coconut palms, giving a feeling of cooling. After prolonged use of this fragrance, especially on colder days, cinamon starts to dominate in this composition, giving the feeling of something burnt. It gives the whole a more mature character. This cinamon note disturbed me so much that I had to sell about half of the bottle. The longevity is very weak and the projection is close to the skin.

Unspectacular, Boring But Worth A Sniff: I bought a bottle because it was so cheap. You always get what you pay for of course, in this case, a cheap cologne that doesn't last long and doesn't smell strong. Faint whiffs of wood maybe some spiciness on the dry-down, hard to detect as its so lame. I put a ton on to just about whiff its weak cinnamon, it was pleasant when I could catch its faint aroma. Worth a sniff for the money, good for spraying in the room or linen etc.

Smells similar to Le Male, as many others have noted. I picked this up because it was under 10 dollars and makes a very nice cheapie to use on bedsheets and linens. Would I wear this as my main perfume? No. But, if you like Le Male (not personally a big fan) it's worth checking out because of the price. I like it on linens because it's soft, not overwhelming, and clean.

It's good for it's price but could've been better honestly, The smell definetely is amazing but it doesn't last too long, the first 1 or 2 hours the smell is pretty good but then it fades away and get very weak. Other fragrances from La Rive are better.
