Hoja de Cuba

Hoja de Cuba is a soft, sweet tobacco fragrance with a warm, vanillic core that evokes a mellow, nostalgic pipe tobacco. It opens with a bold, slightly powdery allspice that fades into a smooth blend of sweet vanilla and balsamic tobacco, creating a deeply comforting, intimate scent. The vetiver is subtle and functions more as a fresh undercurrent than a dominant note, while the tobacco is rich and sweet rather than dry or smoky. The composition feels clean and unisex, with a delicate, almost milky sweetness that makes it accessible and wearable in a refined way. Longevity is moderate, lasting around four to six hours, while sillage is average—intimate on skin, with no strong projection. It aligns best with cooler weather, particularly autumn and winter, and performs especially well as a personal, private scent or in quiet moments. Some find it overly sweet or vanillic, though a majority appreciate the balance and elegance of the development.
