Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Loewe 7 EDT
A truly unique scent, Loewe 7 is a proper 'love it or hate it' affair. If you're after something a bit different and don't mind smelling like a really expensive Catholic church, this could be your next signature. Just sample first, because it's not for everyone.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Cuba Authentic Dark EDT
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

Loewe 7

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its distinctive incense and spice profile, often described as church-like or very macho, makes it a bit too bold for everyday office wear without careful application. However, its unique character and reported compliment-gathering appeal lend itself well to dates and more formal, cooler weather settings. Casual wear is possible if you're feeling adventurous and want to stand out.

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.
