Which Should You Buy?
Cuba Blue is a divisive cheapie - some love it as a fresh, clean scent comparable to designer fragrances, while others find it a synthetic, weak mess. Don't expect miracles, but for the price, it might surprise you as a decent daily driver.
This 90s classic remains a solid if divisive choice. While some find modern formulations a shadow of their former self, advocates praise its timeless tropical freshness and woody depth, offering an escape from today's generic blue scents.
