Czech & Speake Cuba is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Cuba 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 carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

A modern take on a classic Bay Rum, Cuba EDP delivers a sophisticated spice and tobacco blend that's an improvement on the original. It's a classy, unique scent that evokes smoky Cuban nights. Some reviewers pick up a "Cola" vibe, but for others, it's just pure class. It’s certainly a conversation starter.

About

Cuba opens with a fresh, invigorating burst of mint, lime, and bergamot, underscored by the boozy warmth of rum. As it develops, a rich heart of bay leaf, clove, and a delicate rose emerges, leading to a sophisticated dry down. Here, smooth tobacco, earthy vetiver, cedar, and frankincense create a warm, smoky, and slightly sweet finish.
