By the editors · 2 min readCuba Prestige opens with a tart rush of citrus—black currant lending a jammy edge to bright lemon and grapefruit. The bergamot smooths things out, but there's an unmistakable sharpness here, bracing and direct.
As it settles, lavender and rosemary create an aromatic backbone that feels more barbershop than haute parfumerie. Cardamom adds a subtle warmth, while jasmine floats underneath without dominating. The herbal quality is clean, almost soapy, reminiscent of classic men's fragrances from decades past.
The drydown pulls in oakmoss and vetiver for a woody-green foundation, with labdanum and cedar adding heft. Amber provides a faint sweetness that keeps it from going too austere. This is a straightforward masculine scent—reliable, unpretentious, aimed at someone who wants to smell presentable without making a statement.
