Czech & Speake Cuba Cologne is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2002. Cuba Cologne opens with Bergamot, Lime, Mint, and Rum, settles into a heart of Rose, Clove, Bay Leaf, and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, Tobacco, and Frankincense. Czech & Speake's Cuba Cologne carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

Divisive, challenging, and utterly unique, Cuba is a masterpiece for some, a disaster for others. Expect a bold, old-school tobacco scent with an 'acquired taste' edge - definitely not a blind buy.

About

Cuba opens with a refreshing hit of mint and lime, quickly followed by a spirited splash of rum. As it develops, a complex heart of bay leaf, clove, and a hint of rose emerges, leading to a rich, cigar-like tobacco base. Earthy vetiver and smoky frankincense linger, making it distinctly dry and aromatic throughout.
