Cuba Black Cologne

By the time citrus turns up in Cuba Black Cologne, most colognes would already be finished with it, lavender standing alone at the top, herbal and dry, with none of the brightness a masculine usually leads with. Jasmine and vetiver take the core, the jasmine unexpectedly floral for the category and the vetiver keeping it grounded and green. Citruses and bergamot then finish in the drydown, delivering a lift at the stage when most fragrances are settling into warmth. Reading the note list in reverse gives you a conventional cologne, which suggests the inversion is deliberate rather than accidental, and it makes the dry down considerably less predictable. Cuba Black Cologne belongs to versatile day to evening occasions, an aromatic Eau de Toilette through and through. Reach for Cuba Black Cologne again and again without ever tiring of it.
