Alghabra Parfums Cuban Tobacco Extrait (Tester)

Description

Cuban Tobacco celebrates Cuba's rich tobacco heritage in an amber-fruity extrait. Sweet mandarin orange, vanilla, and a boozy mojito accord open the composition, moving into a heart of tobacco, jasmine, and plum wine, before settling into salted woody notes and tobacco blossom. It's a sweet, smoky journey through Cuban history, the plum-wine-and-tobacco pairing invites comparison to Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille, though Cuban Tobacco leans boozier and less gourmand.

Scent Character

• Smoky (tobacco smoke, no agarwood): 31%
• Woody: 22%
• Sweet: 21%
• Floral: 9%

Translation: a sweet, boozy tobacco, mandarin and mojito over a smoky plum-wine-tobacco heart. Its dark, oud-like depth is really the smoke note here, not agarwood.

FAQ

Is it men's or women's?
Unisex. A sweet, boozy tobacco built to wear on any skin.

How does this compare to Peruvian Tobacco?
Genuinely different compositions despite the shared name. Cuban Tobacco is a sweet, boozy mandarin-mojito-plum-wine tobacco, while Peruvian Tobacco is a smoky, resinous incense-and-leather oud tobacco. Not a flanker of one another.

Is there real oud in this?
No. The smoky depth comes from the tobacco-smoke note, not agarwood.

What's the longevity like?
Strong: 8-10 hours, above-average even for an extrait.
