What wearers say
“What a coincidence, Dad got this as a gift on a Christmas exchange at work and last week I got myself a bottle of Azzaro Pour Homme HAHAH! If you know Azzaro pour homee and want something less sweet and even cheaper, Cuba Black is for you, it's pretty citrusy, actually, just like the opening on Azzaro Pour Homme but instead of the sweeter soapy drydown of APH, Cuba Black remains pretty green and somewhat mossy. In my opinion not bad at all, if Azzaro Pour Homme is your signature you could get Cuba Black as a daily fragrance and save Azzaro pour Homme for colder weather or nights out.”
“This is NOT a clone of APH, one of the top 5 in my ~300 bottle collection. It is similar enough that it will remind you of it, but it is not a clone. It has that harsh soapiness to it that many old school frags have. I don't need a $12 clone of a $30 frag and I'm glad this is not. After wearing it, I wouldn't buy it again, but for $12, it doesn't hurt my feelings and I will work it into the rotation.”
“I just bought Cuba Magnum Black and it smells exactly like Azzaro - Pour Homme.Some say Cuba Magnum Black smells like Valentino - Uomo or Dior Homme. But my bottle smells just like Azzaro - Pour Homme.Is there a mix-up with the bottles or what? Does anyone have them both - Cuba Black and Cuba Magnum Black?I know that Cuba Gold and Cuba Magnum Gold smell the same, like JPG Le Male. Is it the same here? And if it is, which Cuba smells like Dior - Homme?”
