Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Drunk Lovers Eau de Parfum

A boozy, berry-forward scent that swings between 'absolute masterpiece' and 'generic designer dupe'. You'll either adore its warm, sensual embrace or dismiss it for smelling like every other sweet, spicy scent out there. Blind buy at your peril.

Our Verdict - Cuba Authentic Dark

Total chaos in a bottle. This isn't just bad, it's an affront to scent, a nonsensical hodgepodge that smells like a bad Axe body spray and then vanishes. Avoid at all costs, unless you're into olfactory torture.

Season and Occasion Fit

Drunk Lovers Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its strong boozy and warm spicy accords, coupled with community remarks about it being 'sexy' and for 'date night', make it unsuitable for office or sport. The luxurious yet comforting feel, however, lends itself well to formal events and intimate dates.

Cuba Authentic Dark

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

No strong occasion fit

Its overwhelming synthetic opening and rapid disappearance make this unsuitable for any occasion. It's universally panned for its poor wearability and offensive scent profile.
