Not that bad
Prestige is the only Cuba perfume that I have left in my collection. Not only because they successfully copy one of my favorite fragrances, A*Men by Mugler and Cuba Prestige, it allows me to save on using the original too often.
I also appreciate Prestige because, compared to other tested fragrances from the brand - Gold, Royal and Red - Prestige is of better quality, less synthetic and has better parameters, which is worth noting at such a low price.
Prestige has completely different notes than A*Men, but the similarity is very strong, especially in the opening. For a long time, it smells similar to Mugler, although of course this is not an A*Men-level development.
Prestige is linear, devoid of depth, much flatter, but it is made exceptionally well in this price range. It can be used as a good substitute for Mugler, e.g. when we want to go to the store or take a walk with the dog in winter. It smells very similar in the air and to outsiders.
It's sweet, vanilla, caramel and fudge, but you won't feel the coffee or patchouli or the complexity of the original here.
On the other hand, what is happening with the current Mugler releases is far from what A*Men used to be, and against this background, Cuba's proposal is not much worse, especially in terms of parameters, but in terms of quality, Mugler is still a much higher shelf.
The parameters are really good, much better than other Cuba products. I don't know what the current releases are, apparently something was messed with in Prestige some time ago. I have a bottle from a few years ago and it's solid.
What surprised me most of all was the very good durability compared to other Cuba fragrances. It stays on the skin for about 7-8 hours without any problems, and the projection is also quite decent. This is the only fragrance Cuba actually designs and even for more than an hour it leaves quite a tail behind.
You can feel a certain common nuance here, characteristic of all Cuba perfumes, a synthetic retro note, but it is much more subdued and does not offend as in the case of, for example, Gold.
The bottle is ugly and not particularly cigar-shaped, the atomizer is also quite poor in use, but at the low price for 100 ml, Prestige is a really worth considering proposition. The quality of the ingredients is obviously not amazing, but it is a surprisingly good alternative to Mugler for pennies
