Which Should You Buy?
Cuba Royal is the budget superstar that everybody loves to compare with Paco Rabanne's 1 Million. It's cheap as chips, remarkably mass-appealing, and delivers a sweet, playful vibe that's hard to beat for the price. Just don't expect miracles from its staying power.
Prepare to have your assumptions about fragrances challenged. Warm Bulb is a divisive, genuinely peculiar scent that nails its concept with uncanny accuracy. It's an atmospheric journey some will adore, while others will find it utterly unwearable. This is artistry in a bottle.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its sweet and vanilla-heavy profile, coupled with varied performance reports (some mention short longevity, others strong projection), makes it best suited for casual and date settings, where its inviting scent can shine without being overpowering. It's generally too playful and potentially too strong for a formal environment or the office.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Warm Bulb's unique and sometimes challenging character, combined with its intimate sillage, makes it less suitable for formal or professional settings. It shines brightest in casual environments or for personal enjoyment, though some find it cosy enough for a relaxed date.
