    Citrus start. Then pure honey. Very sweet. This honey lasts like forever. Cant hear anything else but honey. 4/10

    Some quick notes from memory – I’ll probably flesh this out later. This starts with a big dose of honey and spices, very sweet, yet intriguing. As it dries, it mellows, remaining sweet but with very prominent spices and tobacco that take the edge off and make this more unisex, even a bit masculine. It is rich, bold, and attractive.

    smells like, ah, secretions magnifiques, shall we say — the female kind. it’s rather good, for all that.

    اوه عطر جورماندي لذيذ تخيل رائحة العسل السويتية بجانت لمحات من البرقتال المر مضاف اليها رائحة التبغ المتواجد هنا بصورة جافة مع روائح مدخنه اخرى بفضل الجلود شي جميل
    العطر يستحق ان اتكلم عنه بالتفصيل لاحقا

    Very citrus opening with the tobacco lurking in the background. Unfortunately, it then transforms into a nice tobacco scent that too quickly fades into a powdery(from the honey) old-school scent. Not a bad thing but not what I wanted.

    RED HOTS + TOBACCO
    The reviewer below nailed it: RED HOTS.
    (Those intense cinnamon candies made by the Chicago company Ferrara Pan Candy in the 1930s)
    That specific smell was throughout the stellar longevity – but yes, is did quiet down somewhat after an hour or so.
    But you gotta love the smell of Red Hots candy if you dare to blind buy this one.
    It’s complex. Certainly has many notes that give this fragrance an appreciated richness.
    I didn’t get ‘cigar’, but I definitely got tobacco.
    This is not for me – but certainly sample this if you want a layered hot spicy tobacco.
    ps. Tabacco Toscano should be sampled for a softer/sweeter Santa Maria Novella tobacco fragrance.

    When I first tried Cuba, I was glad I had only purchased a small sample. It smelled like someone had sprayed me with some weird mixture of Red Hots and Fart Spray that people used to sell at my hometown festival. This was one fragrance that took me almost the whole sample to actually appreciate. The spiciness is fairly strong in the topnotes, almost too strong for me. But I found the middle and dry-down notes to be milder and more pleasant. Some have said it smells like cigars, however, I don’t get this. I mostly just get a cinnamon-like spice. It has good sillage and longevity.

    I LOVE when my husband wears this. Sexy, smooth. I want to get closer. Reminds me of our trips to Firenze. If you buy this, only get a small amount at a time, because the scent does change in the bottle as it ages.

    This is a fantastic fragrance which develops smoothly over several hours, and which manages to integrate elements of tobacco, leather, musk at the late stages, plus some sort of sweet, honey or floral undertone into this stunning tour de force, like a symphony that unfolds kaleidoscopically, seamlessly from one movement to the next. Absolutely among the most mesmerizing fragrances I have come across. That said, it comes out of the bottle rather aggressively, so it’s easy to see why people might be alarmed. All I can say is, hang in there, because this one is a real odyssey. Unforgettable.
    10/10

    I hate this fragrance. I can appreciate its construction, but it makes me ill in the wearing. There is a brief moment that lasts about 10 minutes, just after the citrus high notes blow off, where the spice, tobacco, and honey blend just perfectly. Then the spices vanish on me, and it’s just raw tobacco leaf with a touch of honey. And the tobacco accord hits me in the back of the throat just exactly the way that swallowing tobacco juice does – stinging, camphorous, slightly nauseating. The overall experience is like the moment you get when smoking a too-large cigar, where you’re right on the edge between the nicotine rush and nausea, buzzing but not quite ready to boot; that borderline gag feeling in the back of the throat is what this does to me. And it lasts for hours, and hours, and hours…

    A slightly spicy-honeyed tobacco. Rich, deep and masterfully crafted but at the same time very far from the typical heavyness of this kind of fragrances. The cigar note is pleasantly aromatic emphasizing the sweet/honeyed aspect, vanilla adds some extra sweetness without turning the scent into a cloying drydown. While I can’t list Acqua di Cuba among my favourite from this house I can still recommend it to any sweet/tobacco lovers.
