Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its prominent spicy and amber accords, coupled with the potential for strong sillage, make it less suitable for an office environment. However, the 'clean' feeling reported by some reviewers and its generally casual appeal make it a decent choice for everyday wear or a relaxed evening out.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Cuba Authentic Citrus opens with a bright, zesty lemon and a bold kick of pepper, softened by a hint of sweet apple and warm tonka. As it develops, a heart of earthy patchouli, powdery iris, and a spicy cinnamon emerges, leading to a base that's rich and complex. Musk, vanilla, and a substantial ambergris note create a lasting impression, settling into a warm, almost animalic and tobacco-like aroma that's both comforting and intriguing.
