What do reviewers say about Cuba Authentic Dark and New York City?
Royal Oud DNA in a fraction of the bottle. That's the pitch and it delivers. Pear and pink pepper open bright, then cedar and frankincense take over for a woody drydown that actually lasts.Cuba Authentic Dark
Most citrus fragrances play it safe. This one doesn't. The result is a fragrance that smells like the hour the city shifts from day to night, when the air cools and the lights begin to assert.New York City
