Cuba paris “brown edition” smells good just doesnt last for nothing tho! Fruity,spicey,green..

I am a fan of this scent that opens up with a robust burst of the bergamot, then settles in as what I imagine is a pretty characteristic chypre with maybe more sweetness than traditional chypres, very nice scent for such a low price – but the longevity on this one, even among just it’s Cuba Paris family of bargain scents – is shockingly brief.
I find the longevity for the others better than their price would suggest – at 4-6 hours for all of them – but this one I only get 90 minutes tops before I can barely even smell it at all, even with my nose pressed right to my skin. Perhaps this one is heavily prone to olfactory fatigue?
This doesn’t make it useless, but for me it limits it to household use for easy re-application, or utilitarian functions like spraying a pillow before bed.

I believe this is the Cuba I tested today…
Surprisingly good!
The opening has a sweet lime or citrus feel, with a touch of spice and men’s cologne smell to it. Just 10 minutes later and the aroma on my hand is gorgeous tonka bean with clean powder! Not Talc itself, so much as the perfect powder evocative of childhood, clean sheets, and bath time.
In seeing the notes here, that gentle sweetness I’m enjoying is most definitely jasmine. Interestingly, except for the first few minutes of masculine territory, Cuba Brown comes across as very unisex. I’ve very much enjoyed smelling it on myself today, but would also find it quite attractive on a man.
A moderately sweet, clean scent good for wearing in the summer heat. Traditional but not too familiar – very nicely balanced. Cologne strength with relatively good longevity and moderately soft sillage.
To sum up: Well done. Fresh and yet comfy is hard to find!

Very similar to Armani Aqua di Gio!
It has a softer sillage. BUT for that money it is excellent!
sony1986 – :
Very similar to Carolina Herrera, Herrera for Men.

This one was disappointing. I detect cedar on the initial blast but it dies off quickly giving way to a very synthetic aldehyde that I suppose is the “musk”. Stick with Cuba Royal, this one is not worth it. Luckily the projection and longevity is equally awful.

I gifted my husband with a bottle of this for
Christmas & we both are loving it. His chemistry just seems to work so well with the Cuba Cigar line of scents. This one is all woodsy and very much a unisex scent. I couldn’t place my finger on what it reminded me so clearly of and then wham! It hit me! Shalimar! It smells so similar to my Shalimar EDT I am wigged out a bit over it, actually. This is an amazing scent at a hideous price point : $9. USD for a large bottle in a cool tin can.
I love the Red version, but this “brown” edition is fantastic as well.
If you do not like tobacco or citrus scents, you probably will not enjoy this.
It doesn’t have a lot of longevity to the scent, but that’s okay…just enjoy it while
Around the house or while watching a movie. It’s a sexy, cozy scent.
Best wishes!

I just got this in and testing the scent. Soft simple smooth sweet wood smell… I’m not an expert but nothing harsh here.

I found this one reminding me strongly of Bvlgari Aqva… with a pinch of tobacco and an added garnish of black pepper sprinkled on top. But while Aqva is heavy on the head and heart, Cuba Brown’s base is more-prominent: here the woods dominate the water- quite richly and well-done I might add!

I get lots of compliments from women when i wear this.
Women love it!

I have eight Cubas now and, I have to say, that this is my least favourite so far. Cubas are normally so good, with loads of character. Brown is a woody scent with a synthetic floral/bergamot background. Longevity and sillage are not good. It was a blind buy so you can’t always be too pleased I suppose. The dry down is a fairly pleasant and close-to-the-skin bergamot/woody smell. Cuba Brown is not bad but I won’t replace when (or if) I’ve used this up. I am so disappointed with this Cuba, it’s just too ordinary.
Briarey – :
Reminds to Herrera for Men by Carolina Herrera!
partizan546 – :
I think this fragance is very close to Herrera Men, it is very cheap here in Chile.
It last 3-4 hours.

Synthetic, A fellow coworker said ( smells like off) you know as in the bug spray.
1/10 move on my friend.

This was given to me as a gift from a friend I used to smoke cigars with; the gesture was much appreciated. I don’t really take this fragrance seriously; but it is a descent smell. It is earth and deep. Perfect if you like to smoke, or like the smell of a sweet flavored cigar. I wouldn’t personally buy it; but all in all….it’s not bad!
sipa – :
Smells too sweet and like cigar with sandal wood and sugar sort of like plastic

I know it is a men’s fragrance but I just love wearing it. Sometimes I need to get away from the florals and orientals and just have to have that fabulous earthy scent that is rare in women’s fragrances. Lots of fun. My husband said he liked it on me until I told him what it was!
