Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cuba Prestige Eau de Parfum
Divisive, cheap as chips, and punching way above its price point. It's either an absolute bargain dupe of A*Men or an unwearable chemical monstrosity. You'll either love it or hate it, but for a tenner, you can afford the gamble.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Imperium Eau de Parfum
This is a fresh, bright, and clean citrus aromatic that's a crowd-pleaser, delivering great value for money. Performance is an issue for many, so be prepared to respray, but the scent itself is widely adored.

Season and Occasion Fit

Cuba Prestige Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong, sweet, and occasionally harsh character makes it ill-suited for the office or formal events and certainly not for sport. However, many find its gourmand warmth perfect for casual wear, particularly in cooler weather, and several reviews highlight its appeal on date nights.

Imperium Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, clean, and inoffensive profile makes it perfect for casual and office wear, especially given its lighter projection. While versatile for dates, its limited longevity might require reapplication for longer events, and it's a bit too sporty for truly formal settings.
