I have just received my bottle of Cuba and I have given myself two sprays to the neck and a little spray to each wrist. I have made myself a coffee and have a Cuban Montecristo No 5 Cigar waiting for me in the lounge.
The first notes to hit my nose is the peppermint and herbal fragrance then I can smell a dirty note like someone has pulled a Geranium plant out of the ground. This then shifts to the musky animal note which some people find off-putting as it can smell a little like a fecal note. This then shifts to a sweet tobacco minty smell.
Now these notes did not hit me in a nice ordinary fashion, to tell you the truth this is a scent that is like a riot of different notes. They are constantly shifting and changing and when you think you have got the scent pinned down it shifts its accord.
Boring this scent is not, I like it as its different and there is a lot going on scent wise, you are getting different notes each time you smell it. Now what is interesting is when I went into my lounge I smelled my Cuban Cigar all along the dried tobacco leaves. And it smelled just like that musky animal dirty note, so to me it was like "so thats what that note is" I understand what they were trying to do with that scent accord.
I lit up my cigar and had a enjoyable time smelling the cologne fragrance intermingled with the cigar smell while drinking some coffee. Happy times.

. The cigar note is too sweet for my liking but its a nice try. At least others are enjoying it.
Not a particularly glamorous image, but I felt suddenly transported for a few seconds. And then, just like that, the scent morphed into another one of it's various accords. Whoosh! Wow...how fun.
