I’m actually impressed. It’s a bit fiery, it’s a bit sweet. It’s warm, yet aquatic. I detect pepper, cumin, salt, and others. I love the pronounced tobacco note. It also has other smoke type qualities to it. It’s heavy with vanilla. On me I get an abundance of vanilla. The sugar is sweet, however combined with all the other notes, it rounds out the fragrance. I’m also detecting greens, and a floral note.
The scent from the start to the dry down is enjoyable. The sillage is heavy but the longevity is average. This fragrance is a gender bender. Good for the men, and very wearable for the ladies. I’m inclined to say that Demeter, did a good job on this one. I feel it captured many Essenes of Cuba. My Cuban God-mother would be proud.

This is delectable. The pipe tobacco is mellow. I get a whiff of vanilla and a faint suggestion of lime, and then vaguer spice notes waft smoothly around my personal space, evoking a little bit of rum in black sweetened coffee. The sugar is detectable but not cloying. Most of the sweet Demeters feel a little sticky to me and this one’s no exception, but it’s more tactile than olfactory, especially on my neck and décolleté. I don’t know if I’d like it as much in summer heat, but on a crisp fall night it’s a solid, embracing scent.

I see the description and the notes… but I don’t smell them. Mine smells like sweet tropical flowers and warm spicy cumin.

I’m a little bit disappointed that the sugar is very artificial. It has a sweetener quality to it that sort of falls flat and can be sickly. Nothing like the sugarcane that Cuba once exported in large amounts.
A mild tobacco, just a bit of smoke that covers the body. Not sure of the spices, they’re mostly in the background to give the tobacco some character.
I’d say this is something nice for the evening. More discreet and private.
The sweet tobacco lingers for a long time though. Much longer than expected from an EdC. A spray on each wrist is enough for a whole day.

A lil something to drink, a lil something to smoke, a lil sugary treat that melts in my mouth… “Cuba” hits on alllll my fave vices. But just like vices, this can be a bit too much after a while.
Unapologetically overpowering. But who cares, it’s fun!!!
If this scent were a lady, she’d probably be this smokin’ hot Latina: all cleavage and tomato-red mini dress and impossibly high pumps. Heads turn as she walks by. Where is she going, looking like THAT at this hour of the day?
Also, she maybe works the sales floor of the best humidor in town.

A very wearable spicy tobacco due to the generous dose of sugar. Simple, but I love it. Cuba perfectly conjured!
