Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, challenging, and utterly unique, Cuba is a masterpiece for some, a disaster for others. Expect a bold, old-school tobacco scent with an 'acquired taste' edge - definitely not a blind buy.
Divisive, intriguing, and definitely not your typical church incense, this scent aims for an earthy, spa-like vibe. It's a love-it-or-hate-it proposition, best for those who appreciate a masculine-leaning aromatic twist on classic resins.
