Scent Profile

Composition

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

Built on citrus, sweet and white floral - a composition that sits best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh and clean opening makes it suitable for casual wear or even a workout, though the sweet dry-down might be a bit much for intense activity. The masculine-leaning character could be interesting for an informal date, but it lacks the gravitas for formal events.

About

Cuba Chic opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of bergamot, lemon, and orange, immediately bringing a clean, energetic freshness. This citrus zing then blends seamlessly into a heart of sweet melon and exotic jasmine, underscored by a surprising hint of cinnamon's warmth. The dry-down settles into a comforting, gourmand base of creamy praline and a subtle, rosy sweetness, with just a whisper of pomelo to keep it from becoming too heavy. It's an unusual concoction, blending fresh and spicy with a soft, sweet finish.
