At first, I thought it had some aromatic note, a lavender or something, with a pungent and aggressive vanilla, at this stage Cuba Royal seems to be a bomb, after 30 minutes on my skin, a incense smell begins to emerge. Even so, a sweet vanilla aroma remains, slightly incensed, but masculine because of the tobacco note, which makes it very pleasant.
From the initial impression it seemed that it would project well, I ended up being disappointed, as the projection becomes moderate in a short time and in the end it is very close to the skin.
The fixation is good for the price, around 6 hours and the projection is remarkable in the first 30 minutes, then it stays moderate until about two hours after application.
I think Royal is an excellent cost-benefit, good lasting and ok projection for a very cheap perfume that smells like 1 Million.
