Which Should You Buy?
If you're after a cheap thrill that punches above its weight, Cuba Hot is a surprisingly decent dupe. Don't expect designer quality, but for the price, it's a solid, wearable scent that gets compliments.
If a fresh, earthy scent that makes you feel like a CEO on holiday sounds good, Lumination's a solid choice. It's a crowd-pleaser that won't break the bank.
