I actually really like it...
Personal: 8/10 – It’s fun, light, and sweet, with a soft orange-vanilla vibe that’s surprisingly pleasant. It’s basically a sweet citrus body spray with a hint of musk, and it's one of my guilty pleasures.
Mass appeal: 8.5/10 – Bright, sweet citrus always wins. It’s playful and likable, though the sugary tone can come off as juvenile or synthetic to some.
Performance: 5/10 – Light and short-lived. Projects fine for an hour, but disappears fast.
Value: 9/10 – For under $10, this is one of the better-smelling citrus cheapies. Fun, wearable, and easy to reapply without guilt.
Uniqueness: 6/10 – Not truly unique, but more interesting than your average orange body spray thanks to its creamy-musky drydown.
SCORE: 73/100
Full bottle buy? YES, cheap, cheerful, and easy to enjoy.
Blind buy? YES, almost impossible to dislike unless you HATE sweet citrus.
Recommend? YES, great inexpensive summer scent.
Date night? NO, too light and simple, even for casual dates.
Office safe? YES, fresh, pleasant, and non-intrusive.
Pros: Sweet, juicy citrus opening, cheerful and wearable, great for hot weather, very affordable.
Cons: Weak longevity, relatively synthetic, a bit too sugary for mature wearers.
Cuba Orange is one of my guilty pleasure fragrances, full disclosure. It's synthetic, but it's sweet, citrusy, with enough woods and spice to give the illusion of something more complex. It's very short lived, but while it's hanging around, it's a very affordable and pleasant summery fragrance that, though it does lean unisex, is very wearable by a man. There’s nothing serious or challenging about it, and that’s exactly why it works. If Cuba Blue smelled like every blue fragrance ever made, Cuba Orange smells like every happy citrus body spray, but with just enough warmth to keep it interesting.
I really like it. It's a smooth, musky, sweet, vanillic orange scent that's enjoyable for pretty much anyone. It's absolutely well worth buying for only $11.
