Cuba Orange by Cuba Paris

Fresh at first, finishing with a touch of talcum powder. One of the best I’ve tried from this brand. The longevity is short, but it’s worth it. It starts with alcohol, but ultimately leaves a very rich talcum scent. Wear it whenever you’re in a fresh or well-ventilated place. Recommended 🕉️🕉️🕉️

Longevity and sillage are ephemeral; after two hours, there’s no trace left. For that price, any of Zara’s or the Náutica line is worth it.

Excellent fragrance, good longevity – about seven hours in my experience; after the third hour, it sits closer to the skin. It smells very rich; at first it’s a bit odd, but afterwards I really enjoy it. One of the best in terms of longevity from Cuba.

I didn’t like it at all; I’m not saying it smells bad, because it doesn’t, but personally it smells like cheap air freshener to me. To be honest, it didn’t appeal to me much. However, the Cuba Winner I bought alongside this one was much more to my liking; it’s a clone of Invictus and smells very similar. Now, Cuba Orange: if you don’t like the way orange smells, don’t buy it, as it’s very synthetic. The other one also sounds synthetic, but less so. In short, it’s a matter of taste. As a final note, I also have Cuba Gold and Cuba Royal, both super great – clones of Le Male and One Million. The worst I’ve tried so far is the Orange. Cheers 🙌🏽

It has a good smell, and considering its low price, I’d say it’s superior to the average one might expect. As is logical, it doesn’t have a great sillage or much longevity, but for the cost, it’s more than enough. Its aroma seems appropriate for hot days; I sense a slight citrus note and something powdery. In my opinion, it’s a good option to smell good at a very low cost.

It feels like cutting an orange and rubbing it on you. It has lasting scent but only that, and projects about a metre for the first few hours. Something cheap smelling simply like a well-made air freshener but of orange.

As opinions are subjective, so is mine. This perfume has caused me nausea and disgust. When I bought it, I liked it, but after a week and trying to use it, I felt the need to shower to get rid of that smell, which seems like cleaning liquid or Raid to me. I had to change it. I can say the longevity and fixation are good, as even though I showered to remove the scent, it wouldn’t come off me. Never again a Cuba, as my rejection seems to be due to one of the components in all the brand’s perfumes.

A very warm combination of pepper and jasmine with an orange blossom base that evolves into a creamy sandalwood reminiscent of nuts and crunchiness… followed by dry, deep and powdery cedar wood. Excellent price-to-quality ratio, much more rewarding than so many weak, overhyped designer fragrances.

Everything started well, as previous reviewers said: pleasant, elegant scent without being overpowering, with a lovely creamy sandalwood. But as it dries down, it becomes synthetic and sharp; it reminds me of Raid mosquito sheets! Oh dear! What a great start. It’s not unbearable – it’s cheap – but that commercial smell doesn’t make me happy. I would have hoped the dry-down matched the quality of the opening. Snif!

A very lovely, spicy fragrance, perhaps with a hint of tobacco, soft jasmine and cedar. Fragrantica suggests it resembles Alfred Dunhill Desire; I neither confirm nor deny this as I haven’t tried it, but I know that for the price, the quality is good. Long-lasting with moderate sillage, ideal for winter and crisp days. Overall, these Cuba Paris fragrances are rougher, dustier and more rustic than the originals, but given the low price, they are an ideal best value for emergencies or taking to the gym (for those who do, ha,ha).
