Cuba Paris Cuba Authentic Dark is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2022. Cuba Authentic Dark opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Pink Pepper, and Pear, settles into a heart of Woody, Spicy, Cedar, and Galbanum, and dries down to a base of Musk, Guaiac Wood, Frankincense, and Cashmeran. Cuba Paris's Cuba Authentic Dark carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

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.
