Cuba Original 4-Piece Set for Women, 4 X 1.17 Oz (Gold/Blue//Red/Orange)

Edit: I wrote this review nearly three years ago when I was first getting into fragrances. Now, I have over 60 quality bottles, designer and niche, in my collection. I have probably put over $10,000 into my hobby, buying and selling and buying some more. Cuba Gold is still magnificent. In reading my past review, it seems almost juvenile regarding how excited I got about these fragrances compared to what I have now, but I stand by it. Cuba Gold can go head to head with my vintage bottle of Amouage Reflection. I sold the other three, they're worthless to me. Gold, however, still gets me tons of compliments, and, more importantly, I still enjoy it. It's definitely not my favorite, but whenever I wear it I'm amazed at how underrated in my collection it is. Cuba Gold is truly a special fragrance and absolutely worth its great price. ORIGINAL REVIEW FROM 2013 FOLLOWS: Wow, $12 for four fragrances. These really impressed me. I am a collector of colognes/fragrances, and I am happy I bought this set. These look great on my shelf with their extremely unique bottles! I bought this set for three reasons: The first reason I bought this set was for the pure novelty. Just look at them! Cigar shaped bottles, very cool. The second reason I bought them was purely for Cuba Gold. Cuba Gold has been compared to Le Male by Jean Paul Gaultier. I love wearing Le Male, but it's an expensive fragrance. So why not wear it for nearly 1/5 of the price? And along with that, I get three other fragrances. The third reason I bought this set was for the value. 4 fragrances for $12, which comes out to about $3 each. I'm sold. So, which fragrances smell the best? Gold: This fragrance has been compared to Le Male. I understand the similarity. It is very similar to Le Male. However, it is more subtle and there is less of a cinnamon note in Cuba Gold than there is in Le Male. Very soothing scent, and it has lasted anywhere from 5-8 hours on my skin. Smell: 9/10. Longevity: 5-8 hours. Projection: 6/10. Orange: This is a very citrusy scent, but surprisingly long lasting. It lasted about 4-6 hours on my skin. It smells like Sunny D. Smell: 5.5/10. Longevity: 4-6 hours. Projection: 5/10. Red: Tobacco. This is Cuba's tobacco fragrance. Definitely the most mature smelling of the bunch. This is definitely a winter scent and not everyone can pull it off. Some people have compared the smell to Burberry London, but I don't get that at all. This is a harsh tobacco fragrance, but not entirely displeasing. I wear it every now and then. Smell: 5/10. Longevity: 6-8 hours. Projection: 6/10. Blue: I never wore this fragrance. It smells very similar to Chrome by Azzaro, which I also have. However, this fragrance is harsher in the opening and smells a lot "cheaper" than Chrome. With that being said, it is a summer fragrance. Since I never wore this fragrance, I can only rate the opening smell at 4/10. Overall, Cuba Gold is the best. But why not buy the value set? It makes a great novelty, and the price simply cannot be beat. These are quality fragrances. I would have paid $20-25 for this box set. Buy/Try/Pass: This ranks as a definite buy.

You would never in your life guess that this was a fragrance that costs $10-$15. They say it's a clone of JPG Le Male, but I've never smelled Le Male. This is being judged on its own merits, not as a comparison as a clone. This has a prominent pink pepper top note with a little lavender and the dry down is mostly the lavender. I'm not getting a lot of vanilla out of it like the note breakdown would imply. Sillage and longevity are excellent as well. This is an excellent blind buy. Even if it was two or three times the price it would be a no brainer.

Still the best scent I've ever used

The cologne smells good. The sprayers tend to break after use for a bit. Overall a good product.

It's amazing I will be getting another one in the future because it's amazing. Its just like the famous Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male

I have received this item even though your system says it's running late. I have used Cuba Gold for many years and love its scent

Im a HUGE cologne man,always have been. Owned everything from Drakar and obsession back in the day to the original Jean Paul gayltier before they ruined it,to every type of DnG to Diesel to Baccarat,to Creed to u name it. To a get a variety of cologne from France,For these prices is fantastic. And they're all incredible. Best deals out there and I highly recommend them

I really likes this and I think it smells really good, only problem we had with this order was delivery as I still have not received it. I order him enough to last all year and it was suppose to be delivered on the 20th and now it's showing the 23rd. The 20th was 7 days after ordering so it's not like I was expecting it next day. Hopefully I will get it on the 23rd.

J 'ai pris ce coffret car j'aime bien les parfums, c'est original, beau pour la vitrine

Very nice🥰

Ik heb Sigaar besteld en parfuim binnen gekomen, op foto’s die lijken niet op een parfuim.. ik ben niet tevrede..

The blue one smells almost like an air freshener, think Febreze Air or something, but with a hint of alcohol. Mostly just use it at home. The orange one is pretty citrusy and tangy, smells sort of almost like a perfume or a cleaning product (not in a bad way) but again with a distinct alcohol smell. I use it usually just if I am out with friends or running errands, smell nice but nothing too bold. The red is heavenly. Its reminiscent of an older man kind of cologne from the 60-80s or something. Its the type of smell you’d ascribe to Fidel Castro or your dad or something. Almost tobacco-y (not cigarettes, tobacco), almost lemony (but distinct difference from the orange citrusy smell). Smells like an expensive, sexier brand and I heard its a clone as well. The kind of cologne other men would smell and think “damn thats good”. I like it for going to work or for more serious occasions or get togethers/gatherings. The gold is a much more vanilla, sweet kind of scent of course again with the sort of alcohol hints but I’d say it smells the least of alcohol compared to the rest, you could smell it very directly and up close directly to the bottle and not get the kind of harsh nose burn sensation. Seems like the type of scent that ladies would appreciate moreso than others. I’ve also heard its a clone. Good bang for your buck, eau de toilette will never really last as long as you hope but I can still confidently say it stays smelling nice for at least 4 hours if not more and lingers on clothes of course. You can try to kind of spray it into moisturizer and rub it into your neck/behind ears/wrist as well if you want a longer lasting scent that will kind of “project outwards” a little bit, enough that people will get a hint of it as you walk by.
