Cuir Cuba Intense by Nicolaï captures the distinctive aroma of a Havana cigar box through a captivating blend of tobacco, aromatic herbs, and warm woods. Inspired by Patricia de Nicolaï's childhood memories, the fragrance opens with refreshing lemon and mint, complemented by the distinctive sweetness of anise. At its heart, rich tobacco absolute unfolds alongside aromatic lavender, geranium, ylang-ylang, and delicate magnolia. Coriander adds a subtle spicy warmth that enhances the composition's complexity.
As the fragrance develops, licorice and hay create a distinctive sweet, dry character, while earthy patchouli and cedar introduce a sophisticated woody richness. Soft musk completes the composition with a smooth finish. Bold, nostalgic, and beautifully balanced, Cuir Cuba offers an evocative interpretation of tobacco and leather.
