They gave it to me from Cuba… It’s very famous there. It’s curious that it’s a winter fragrance for a tropical country: it’s heavy, woody, you can smell the leather, and it’s quite smoky, fougère style. I barely detect the tobacco it claims to have. It reminds me of old 80s perfumes like Brummel or Aramis, but more synthetic; it smells dated, nothing modern or suitable for under 40s. Projects for an hour, then lasts 5-6 hours on skin. The problem is that while it projects, it’s very invasive and causes olfactory fatigue; it gives me a headache. I know they gave it to me with good intentions, but I think Cubans settle for less; this smells like perfumes from another decade, and perfumery has evolved a lot since then.
Got this as a gift from Cuba, where it’s a winter classic despite the tropical climate. It’s a heavy, woody, smoky scent with lots of leather, fougère-style, though the promised tobacco barely registers. Smells like 80s synthetics, older than Brummel or Aramis; nothing modern, makes you look like an ‘old man,’ and it’s a jumble of scents. Projects for an hour, then 5-6 hours on skin. The problem is that when it projects, it’s invasive, causes olfactory fatigue, and gives me headaches. I know the intention was good, but it smells like another decade when perfumery has advanced so much.
A Cuban perfume classic and a delicious masculine scent. A blend of tobacco, wood, and leather in a super affordable tropical delight for the world. Excellent price-to-quality ratio.
A classic of Cuban perfumery, what a great masculine scent… tobacco, wood, leather, a delicious tropical bargain from Cuba for the world, excellent price-quality ratio.
One of the best men’s perfumes I’ve ever smelled. Tobacco and Pinar guayabita (wild and rough) dominate, with a sweet coffee touch in a thimble. A man wearing this is intoxicating and irresistible.
Vegueros is a masculine gem from the little-known Cuban perfume industry. It belongs to the fougère-tobacco family and has been sold in Cuba, Angola, and the Dominican Republic for over 15 years. Its creator is Jorge Dávila Sánchez, a master and friend of mine (strange that Suchel-Camacho doesn’t list him). It’s super sensual, fresh, with sparkling citrus, very masculine, and inspired by the tobacco vegas of Vuelta Abajo. An authentic seal of Cuban identity and an honorable work that has made history.
Cuba, the cradle of the best tobacco, takes the aroma of Vuelta Abajo habanos and launches two masterpieces: Montecristo (1998) and Vegueros (1999). Tobacco is its greatest olfactory success. The Suchel house, founded in 1977, has over 200 perfumes in its catalog. Vegueros is a 1999 fougère with a 2010 flanker. The opening is explosive and alcoholic with muted citrus, not luminous or acidic, giving an aromatic sensation. It drops to skin level in less than a minute; the citrus lasts seconds, then come sweet, warm, camphorated notes, strong but not cloying, that last forever. The development is linear. The tobacco doesn’t smell like dry cigar but like synthetic green leaf. Lasts 4-6 hours on skin and projects for an hour. Ideal for fresh afternoons or nights, maybe too strong for heat; informal use. Great option for the price (around $8 in Cuba).
One of the best fragrances in the world; it should be famous globally. Nothing to envy from those selling millions. Abysmal projection for an entire room, super attractive, sexy, with personality and excellent longevity. Notes of tobacco, citrus, fruity, woods, and leather. Worth buying blind, never disappoints. Brilliant, mysterious, sensual, and intoxicating. It would only need a touch of pineapple to rival Creed Aventus.
One of the best from Cuba currently. Fresh, citrusy, and fruity opening; on the skin it blends woods and fruits; the base features tobacco, leather, musk, and wood.
One of the best from Cuba today. Opens fresh, citrusy, and fruity, then blends into wood and fruit, closing with tobacco, leather, musk, and wood.
