Which Should You Buy?
A smooth, luxurious embrace of almond and vanilla that manages to be both comforting and chic. While some moan about performance, let it macerate and it'll transform into a quiet beast - intimate, but utterly addictive.
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.
