Cuba Paris Cuba Black is an Eau de Toilette. Cuba Black settles into a heart of Citrus, Woody, Bergamot, and Vetiver. Cuba Paris's Cuba Black carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Cuba Black is a divisive, old-school barbershop scent. Fans love its classic woody-aromatic character and incredible value, often comparing it favourably to Azzaro Pour Homme. Detractors find it crude, dated, and too synthetic, smelling of 'pencil shavings' or 'old lumber'.

About

Imagine the classic scent of a traditional barbershop, then dial it up to eleven. That's Cuba Black. It kicks off with a sharp, invigorating burst of citrus and bergamot, swiftly followed by a prominent lavender note that conjures up images of shaving foam. As it settles, a dry, woody backbone emerges, grounded by vetiver, while a subtle jasmine adds a fleeting floral touch. The overall impression is undeniably masculine, with some detecting a distinct anise or licorice-like undercurrent.
