Cuba Paris Cuba Authentic Dark is a fragrance launched in 2022. The fragrance opens with Pear, Bergamot, Lemon, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Woody, Spicy, Cedar, and Galbanum, and dries down to a base of Cashmeran, Guaiac Wood, Musk, and Frankincense.

Our verdict on Cuba Authentic Dark: Acquired

Total chaos in a bottle. This isn't just bad, it's an affront to scent, a nonsensical hodgepodge that smells like a bad Axe body spray and then vanishes. Avoid at all costs, unless you're into olfactory torture.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Its overwhelming synthetic opening and rapid disappearance make this unsuitable for any occasion. It's universally panned for its poor wearability and offensive scent profile.

About

Cuba Authentic Dark lurches out of the gate with a synthetic, sweet blast of pear and a limp bergamot, weakly spiced with pink pepper. This quickly devolves into a muddled, nondescript woody heart, vaguely spiced and green, with cedar trying its best to assert itself against the din. The base is an insipid whisper of guaiac wood, cashmeran, and a completely absent frankincense, collapsing into a musky void that thankfully departs for good.
