It’s inspired by CH for Men and smells very similar, but that tobacco note gives it a ‘dirty’ vibe that actually suits it well.

Excellent fragrance, 5 euros with free shipping on Notino. Projection and longevity match the price; you can’t ask for more. Everything is excellent. Very good.

Smells rich and fresh like Ami. I like it, although the longevity and trail leave a little to be desired; but since Ami cost me 8 euros, no problem with reapplying.

Smells really nice and is fresh, like Ami. I like it. Longevity and projection leave a little to be desired, but Ami cost me 8 euros, so no problem with reapplying.

Despite being cheap, I don’t recommend it. Does it smell good? No. Does it smell bad? Not really. It doesn’t generate compliments. Performance is abysmal, longevity is almost non-existent. Lasts half an hour even if you’re generous.

It’s woody and slightly spicy, a kind of copy or ‘equivalent’ of the classic Herrera for Men. As expected, the performance isn’t the best. I use it as an aftershave, 25-30 sprays on the face: trail lasts 3-4 hours, but I can still smell it on my skin until 12. I got it for 10 dollars; at that price, you can’t expect more. It stands out that this Cuban version has the dignity of keeping its original scent, unlike the current Herrera formula which smells like burnt plastic. If you miss vintage Herrera, this is a very good option. Although performance is low, at this price you can overapply without regrets.

The previous review is a perfect example of a point discussed in the forum called ‘Things We Don’t Like on Fragrantica’.

In short: it smells like furniture cleaner.

In my opinion, it’s good only because of the price, since its projection and longevity are very low: it lasts about 2 hours, then fades into a skin scent for another hour. Many compare it to CH for Men; it has a slight patchouli note but is lightyears away from resembling it; it’s like feeling a passing breeze. Pros: very affordable price. Cons: poor longevity and minimal to non-existent sillage.

Pleasant but very soft perfume, as Tom says, it smells like perfume diluted in water. Judging by the price, it’s not bad… Scent: 8, projection: 5, longevity: 7, price: 9.

Smells great, and Cuba never disappoints. It reminds me of my Herrera for Men. The opening of Cuba Brown is identical to the start of HFM. It’s linear and very soft, which is why you need to reapply several times, which is necessary. To me, it feels like they took HFM and diluted it with water. The longevity is short and the trail is soft. The good thing is it’s incredibly cheap. All the Cubas I own smell like soap on my skin. Perfumed water.
