Discover Berdoues Hoja de Cuba — a refined unisex fragrance, released in 2017, embodying the spirit of adventurous journeys.

This perfume, created under the guidance of the talented Aya Ako, is part of the prestigious Collection Grands Crus from Berdoues, a brand with over a century of history, tracing back to 1902 in France.

Hoja de Cuba, which translates from Spanish as "Cuban leaf," invites you on a sensory journey where each note tells its unique story.

The Identity and Heritage of Berdoues

Berdoues is not just a perfume house, but a living legend, founded in Toulouse in 1902.

Family traditions and a passion for innovation have allowed the brand to remain relevant for decades.

Collection Grands Crus, which includes Hoja de Cuba, draws inspiration from exotic destinations, offering fragrances that transport you to different corners of the world.

This 2017 release became a vibrant addition to the collection, highlighting Berdoues' commitment to quality and artistic expression.

The Creative Genius of Aya Ako

Behind Hoja de Cuba is Aya Ako, a perfumer known for her ability to blend traditional elements with modern accents.

Her work on this fragrance demonstrates a deep understanding of the balance between strength and tenderness, characteristic of many of her creations.

Ako's influence on this perfume added uniqueness, setting it apart from other brand offerings and reinforcing Berdoues' reputation as a house where art meets craftsmanship.

Positioning and Versatility

Hoja de Cuba is positioned as a unisex fragrance, making it an ideal choice for anyone who values flexibility and individuality.

In the form of perfume water, it offers balanced intensity, suitable for daily use.

It belongs to the spicy and woody families, giving it a warm, cozy character, perfect for cool evenings or special occasions.

Its versatility allows for easy pairing with different styles, from casual to elegant.

Wearability and Alternatives

This fragrance is excellent for the autumn-winter season when its spicy and woody notes unfold most vividly. It is complimentary and recognizable, thanks to its unique profile.

Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The note pyramid in Hoja de Cuba is a harmonious blend of three key elements: sweet pea, tobacco and vetiver.

Unlike the traditional structure with clear top, middle, and base notes, here they intertwine, creating a holistic and dynamic fragrance.

Sweet pea adds a light floral sweetness and airiness that softens the more powerful chords.

Tobacco brings a spicy, smoky depth, reminiscent of Cuban cigars, while vetiver anchors the composition with earthy, woody tones, ensuring longevity and completion.

Together, these notes form a balanced ensemble where each element enhances the other, creating a warm, intriguing scent that evolves on the skin throughout the day.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

The tobacco is sweet, and the fragrance is actually not bad. Reading reviews and studying the composition, I expected worse, but it pleasantly surprised me. In the end, I even liked something about it 😊

The fragrance is simply gorgeous, with spicy and tobacco notes, plus a little pepper. It's so smoky and cool, truly impressive! 😍

The name and the scent truly harmonize here. Cuba evokes images of handmade cigars, and this perfume perfectly conveys that atmosphere with tobacco leaf. But instead of familiar spices like cardamom or clove, we get Jamaican allspice. This gives the fragrance freshness and makes it more captivating, although it hasn't become too complex 🌿
3/5

The fragrance is really sharp and masculine, with clear notes of tobacco and spices. It's as if it draws you in, but at the same time causes a certain wariness. I can't figure out if I like it or not! I want to give it to someone, but I don't know if it will suit my man. Overall, the impression is ambiguous, but definitely memorable!!!
5/5

All the declared notes are perfectly perceptible - spicy Jamaican pepper, sweetish tobacco, and smoky vetiver. The fragrance indeed has a light smokiness, but at the same time, it's very refined. Personally, I think it's more suitable for men. I'm sure such a perfume will give them confidence and elegance!!!
