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.

Bigger than it looks. The the chicks will dig it

I kept hearing about Cuba Gold from online reviewers. "Cuba Gold smells exactly like Le Male, but at a fraction of the price," said reviewer after reviewer. Originally I was just going to buy a large bottle of Cuba Gold, but then I saw this variety pack and decided to give it a shot instead. And although one of the scents is awful in my opinion, I can still say this is a fantastic deal. I'm not going to give a complete breakdown of each and every fragrance note by note, so I'll try to sum each one up. GOLD: Amazing in every way. There is no one on this earth who can convince me that this isn't just Le Male in a different bottle. Great projection, great silage, great longevity. If you simply bought the variety pack for this fragrance alone you'd be getting your money's worth several times over. RED: Sort of a sweet, tobacco-y scent. This smells like an unlit cigar. The staying power of this one is pretty moderate. I'd describe it as being a totally safe fragrance. The only person I couldn't see pulling this scent off is someone in their teens. I'm not saying this is grandpa's cologne, but it does have a level of maturity to it. If you're, say, mid 20s and up, this is probably appropriate for you. But hey, at the end of the day, wear whatever you want. Still, this is a very good fragrance. ORANGE: This smells like orange spice and tobacco. There are these little cigarillos made by a company called Tatiana. This smells identical to a case of their orange flavored ones. In other words, think the description of Cuba Red I mentioned above, but with spicy orange. Some people describe this as smelling like orange soda, but I disagree. It's more complex than that. Another fine scent that only adds to the value of this variety pack. BLUE: This one is so awful I honestly was stunned it came from the same company. What a mess. This smells like copper, alcohol, talcum powder, and just...overall very chemically and synthetic. One reviewer said this smelled like baby wipes. I agree, but it also smells stunningly similar to Aqua Net hairspray. Harsh, harsh, harsh. But again, you're paying such a small amount for 3 other great fragrances that it's okay if this one is a dud. Throw it away or give it to an enemy. Use it to turn napkins into hand sanitizer wipes. Clean a toilet with it. Just don't spray it on yourself. It's horrid. Overall, this is a great purchase for anyone who wears fragrances. I would recommend this to someone just start a collection, but don't think that this is going to cover all of your bases. Red and Orange are pretty similar scents, and Gold is somewhat situational in its use. Still, again, it's hard to argue against this pack at its price. If anything, pick it up to see which one you like most so you know which one to buy a bigger bottle of. Well done, Cuba!

Fast shipping items as described i smell good thank you

i got this as a gift and my first thought was there is no way four fragrances for this price are going to smell good. but cuba gold completely surprised me, it smells amazing and i get compliments on it all the time. the other scents are more hit or miss but for what you pay this whole set is absolutely worth it.

smells good

Can’t beat it for the price. I got some for my fiancé and immediately reordered when he ran out. He usually wears pretty expensive colognes, but I like his smell just as much when he wears these!

This set is extremely affordable yet smells much more expensive than expected. Each fragrance has its own unique character, but they all share a rich, pleasant scent that works well for everyday wear or casual outings. The longevity is good for the price, and the variety makes it easy to switch things up depending on your mood. Overall, it’s an excellent value and a great choice if you want quality scents without spending a lot.

Parfum en forme de cigare sa sens trop bon !

Huelem todas bien, unas mas suaves y otras mas fuertes, por el precio muy muy bien ya la conocia la Colonia

Cuba lernte ich in einer Apotheke auf Amrum kennen. Ich dachte tatsächlich, es seien Zigarren. Nein es war Cuba Gold. Da mich dieser Duft sehr ansprach habe ich hier auf Amazon danach gesucht und dieses Set gefunden. Hier kann man verschiedene Duftnoten ausprobieren und den Lieblingsduft herausfinden. Von Cuba gibt es auch andere Sets, die ich empfehlen kann.

Produto dentro do esperado.

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