Cuba Paris Cuba Gold is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1992. Cuba Gold opens with Grapefruit and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Vetiver and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Amber, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Cuba Paris's Cuba Gold carries a Statement verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

Divisive, cheap, and undeniably iconic. Cuba Gold is the OG Le Male alternative, a love-it-or-hate-it scent that punches way above its price tag. Some find it a synthetic scrubber, others a sexy, compliment-getting marvel. Take the plunge if you dare, just don't expect miracles on longevity.

About

Cuba Gold opens with a fizz of grapefruit and a hint of pink pepper, quickly giving way to a dominant, clean lavender. As it settles, a sweet, powdery vanilla and tonka bean creaminess emerges, grounded by a subtly woody and earthy vetiver. The overall effect is a warm, aromatic blend with a soft, inviting finish.
