Cuba La Vida

Cuba La Vida from Cuba Paris, a feminine fragrance released in 2019, is a sweet fruity gourmand with praline and a soft floral heart. Everyone who describes it calls it gourmand, most also find it floral, and a minority notice a woody undertone.

Pear and black currant give the opening a juicy, crisp and slightly tart fruitiness. The heart is floral and sunny: jasmine brings a radiant, slightly creamy note, orange blossom a honeyed sweetness and iris a cool, powdery touch. The base is warm and sweet: praline adds a caramelised, nutty richness, vanilla and tonka bean a creamy, almond-like sweetness, and patchouli an earthy depth that keeps the sugar in check.

It suits women who enjoy affordable, cheerful gourmand florals in a popular modern style. The profile points to autumn and winter, evenings out and casual occasions, though the fruit keeps it light enough for daytime. Those who like pear and praline fragrances with a patchouli base should find it easy and pleasant to wear.
