PSA to everyone: As a biochemistry undergraduate, there is a science behind why we cant smell certain fragrances as well as others. It all comes down to Organic Chemistry and our bodies varying design in the olfactory system and nuerophysiological condition. Most people will be able to smell scent A whereas some may not be able to smell scent A, but can smell scent B when most cannot smell Scent B. The reason is that our olfactory senses becomes conditioned to our enviroment based on how we grew up and therefore, things that are more familiare to us, we are able to smell it "more" than others. For example, I grew up in a hispanic houshold where my mother would always be cooking with chiles and spices. For this reason, when I go to a resteraunt, im able to pick up more spices and chiles than others in a scent wherase other people can't, or if they do, its just "spicy" to them. The whole point of this is to say this: the more we are experts and trained in the art of perfumery, the better we can smell perfumes in general, even if most people can't. Smelling is a skill that can be improved just like taste is something that can be refined as necessary to be a chef. For this reason, the best "data" to get about a fragrance is to side with the majority of people (who aren't fragrance connisures by ANY means) because they will be able to pick up more of the obvious notes in a scent and say "yeah it smells good/bad". If you ask a fragrance head, they will have a strong biase against a certain note/brand that the scent derives from and you will get a more distorted opinion (so to speak). Think about it, when your average consumer goes to a high-end resteraunt that uses niche quality and ingredients, most will enjoy the meal but wont be "oh i really can taste the 9-month aged burbone on this stake". In fact, many people will dislike the super niche and sophisticated taste in some resteraunts because they are looking for food to eat, not savor it as an art form where you need to detect what ingredients are used in your meal. Likewise, most people will only enjoy a fragrance because it smells good or tasty, not because they can detect a certain note. The whole "ah yes i love the cardamom blended with the tonka bean, very elaborate but subtle" exists only with fragrance heads (people you wont run into every day).
You know, sometimes fragrances don’t smell the way they are supposed to on their first several sprays. Issey Miyake Pour Homme Fraiche was like that for me. Then, after wearing it for several days, and letting it sit for a week, it blossomed into masterpiece. Give Toy Boy another wear in a few days.
Shit is Strong! This was a scrubber after a sample I hit my hand with. It was still there 12 hours latter even after 2 showers. Cuba had Covid. I ended up buying a full bottle because this is unique.
Moschino Toy Boy is also not something I ever thought I would buy, but DAMN its good! I dont know what it is about it, but I love it and im a 35 year old fella.
I get great performance on this one. To me it smells like if you open a can can of pears that are in that sweet syrup stuff. The good news here is that someone was finally willing to put out a fragrance that isn’t exactly like everything else from the last 2 years.
I went ahead & got it after I saw this your review. I got it for $57 so I’m not messed up about it at all. It’s cool. The dry down is good. It doesn’t project as much as I thought however it’s cool for a freshie. I’m happy with it since the bottle is unique & it’s a cool scent. Thanks for the solid review
I just bought this from FragranceX this week and I love it already. Doesn’t smell like all the other bullshit blue fragrances we’ve been getting for a while now.
To my nose it smells like carolina hererra 212 men mixed with a dark rose. I get the freshly cut grass vibe mixed with violet leaf and rose. Very Unique
That bad boy is banger! Super different from everything else out there. The opening is a little all over the place. But the magic happens in the mid & dry down. It actually performed really good on me. A whole work days worth.
Great first impression and I enjoyed it and i like this fragrance I give it a nine out of ten and i get good longevity and decent projection and have a blessed night
Agreed Cuba, not getting beastly performance, but the longevity is definitely good. Just not the projection. But strangely when I first got it one spray was enough to choke me out. Then suddenly it depowered or something? Or maybe I’m anosmic
Now you know your wife don't play that, you better get that paper up!! Moschino is nice, I have to get some more wearings. When I tested it at Belk's it was an instant buy for me.
I’m not going to lie Toy Boy almost knocked me out! I went to Macy’s days ago to smell test different colognes and I just happen to see this freaking unique black bear 🐻 cologne bottle and I’ve been watching reviews about it! I’m a man of cologne and I love smelling good and getting compliments! I can’t describe the smell of this fragrance it’s unique and masculine!
Yo Cuba I just picked this up last week..its a woody and heavy rose fragrance...mainly rose...this shit last 11hrs on my skin...and I dropped the bottle and broke it not even an hour after purchase
Why is the Teddy bear ever a problem, real men can love Teddy bears too. Love the fragrance, very unique and it lasted hours on my skin. The dried down is warm and cosy.
Hahahaha...it's your nose, not a beast but good bubble longevity (7-8 hours), not stinging, not piercing, not agresive...but people smell you perfectly long hours
I think the Scent is gorgeous. It is a complex scent but the more I sniff it the more I like it. The performance is there even tho it doesnt seem like it. I LOVE IT 9.5/10! scent community hypes trash scent in my opinion but this one is a show stopper for sure !!!
Is Cuba Rose note blind? He didn't say Rose once on this rose bomb! Dark alluring sugary bouquet of roses laying on the floor on a dark cedarwood cabin in the woods at midnight.
Cuba Man, This is Creed Royal Oud on steroids 👑 It's like an intense version of which projects better & last longer than creed 😳 I rarely get any compliments with Creed Royal Oud, but with this I get compliments almost every time & people can't help but asking me what you are wearing today.👍 It's one of the few fragrances in my collection that make people ask about it. Most people would complement my other fragrances, but with this one people wouldn't leave until they ask about it.🤩 You must try it again after a while.
To me toy boy is not so strong for an epd is very light. In order to get good protection you should spray like 15 times as a plus against it is too expensive for what you get. Is my humble opinion.
That “pause” homophobic comment. Stop with that shit. You need to be careful. Because some of the comments you make Cuba are problematic. I dig your reviews, foh with you toxic masculinity. Especially being a man of color.

Great comment and very true
Thank you for that 🙏🏽🩵☮️
Toy Boy one of the strongest fragrances I’ve tested in awhile!
The John Leguizamo of fragrance 😎
Too Wong foo

Cuba, man, you got COVID! 😭😁 That fragrance is strong and lasts 8+ hours on my skin.
Yup! Took a shower around 730 p.m it's not 9:30 am and I still smell it and i only did two sprays. It's not for me but it definitely lasts long.
@@b.e.r.nnetwork8251 Just our luck …. It lasts forever and we don’t like it. 🤦♂️😆
The scent lasts me 10 hours and just one spray on my arm, my parents can smell it from several feet away the first few hours
Shit is Strong! This was a scrubber after a sample I hit my hand with. It was still there 12 hours latter even after 2 showers. Cuba had Covid. I ended up buying a full bottle because this is unique.
Man I'm rocking this TODAY! I love it, it's beautiful 😍🥰
I got a good 7 hours on skin and clothes. 10/10 for compliments and uniqueness
Moschino Toy Boy is also not something I ever thought I would buy, but DAMN its good! I dont know what it is about it, but I love it and im a 35 year old fella.

always love your work.hope you are staying safe and you get good performance out of it. this is one of my favorites in the last one year :)
It’s like a year round fragrance.
To my nose it smells like carolina hererra 212 men mixed with a dark rose. I get the freshly cut grass vibe mixed with violet leaf and rose.
Very Unique
That bad boy is banger! Super different from everything else out there. The opening is a little all over the place. But the magic happens in the mid & dry down. It actually performed really good on me. A whole work days worth.
man i get 10 plus hrs each time i've rocked it got my set on amazon for like $70 it is more of a fall/winter scent in my opinion .
This shit 🔥🔥🔥 especially in this Miami heat. Performs like a beast.
“Just swallowed half of it, pause” 🤣🤣🤣 good catch!
Toy Boy rocks and performs like an all-star.
“I just swallowed half of it!” *pause* LMFAO 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Finally someone says it smells like candies
The Ladies love this fragrance on me. Nothing but positive compliments.
Great first impression and I enjoyed it and i like this fragrance I give it a nine out of ten and i get good longevity and decent projection and have a blessed night
You kill me man. one of my favorite channels out there.
Idk mine last and projects really well!!!
1:41 peeped that custom test strip!
I really like this one. And I picked it up for £35/$40 off ebay so I got a pretty decent deal.
It pops off my skin VERY well. I get a blast of Pear, pink pepper, rose off the top.
Agreed Cuba, not getting beastly performance, but the longevity is definitely good. Just not the projection. But strangely when I first got it one spray was enough to choke me out. Then suddenly it depowered or something? Or maybe I’m anosmic
You are true Cuba dude this shit is very light
Now you know your wife don't play that, you better get that paper up!! Moschino is nice, I have to get some more wearings. When I tested it at Belk's it was an instant buy for me.
I really enjoy this one. Also get great performance from it. Some days it’s just good, some days it’s really strong.
The griselda reference, nice!! My neck of the woods👌🏻👌🏻
I’m not going to lie Toy Boy almost knocked me out! I went to Macy’s days ago to smell test different colognes and I just happen to see this freaking unique black bear 🐻 cologne bottle and I’ve been watching reviews about it!

Nothing masculine about this fragrance lol.
Yeah def not masculine
That pepperyness is the rose coobs
One of my new favorites.. I like the fizzyness of it.
It performs well projects for hours
Yo Cuba I just picked this up last week..its a woody and heavy rose fragrance...mainly rose...this shit last 11hrs on my skin...and I dropped the bottle and broke it not even an hour after purchase

Your right that colgne is very expensive! And never pulled the trigger ! More niche fragrances already established for the money 💰
I quite enjoyed this but I am still waiting for the price to drop, if it ever will.
Lookin Clean my Guy! 👌
You should redo this review. This thing punches hard! Great performance too. Paid 60 for it. 60 bucks well spent
I definitely love it bro
Always dropping cool vid ? Wat do you think about naxos 1861
Why is the Teddy bear ever a problem, real men can love Teddy bears too. Love the fragrance, very unique and it lasted hours on my skin. The dried down is warm and cosy.

We need you to review the marketing campaign too 😂

WHAT ABOUT SILLAGE, PLS TELL ME

Is Cuba Rose note blind? He didn't say Rose once on this rose bomb! Dark alluring sugary bouquet of roses laying on the floor on a dark cedarwood cabin in the woods at midnight.
Not gonna hold you... I stayed away from this one because of the suspect marketing.
What it's suspect because the marketing is gay? It's 2020 dude.
Cuba Man, This is Creed Royal Oud on steroids 👑
It's like an intense version of which projects better & last longer than creed 😳
I rarely get any compliments with Creed Royal Oud, but with this I get compliments almost every time & people can't help but asking me what you are wearing today.👍
It's one of the few fragrances in my collection that make people ask about it.
Most people would complement my other fragrances, but with this one people wouldn't leave until they ask about it.🤩
You must try it again after a while.
Hey King Lincoln, super review!
how many sprays?
I don't know the decant i got , it smells the room when i spray it.. maybe they reformed this shit already lol
It's worth the hype worth the $...n yeh performance is good!🤔✔💯🌶🍸
So was it to feminine like others say or not to bad cuz I know u don't like fragrances that lean to girly
To me toy boy is not so strong for an epd is very light. In order to get good protection you should spray like 15 times as a plus against it is too expensive for what you get. Is my humble opinion.
Aye Cuba I copped some of that Teddy Bear juice SON! Amazon $63.58.
Looking hawt with that salt & pepper action
i got a sample of this coming, i have high hopes for it!
thanks for your opinion here! If performance it is questionable for me... Also I do not like the bottle...
Yo cuba , chek out the extraoridnaire line from van cleef & arpels , bois dore seems 2 be interessing
I don't know why I just get a unisex floral vibe from this on my skin.... This is not a ball sprayer
i was wondering if u could review anything from the just jack line or the new al haramain br 540 clone called oud amber rouge
It's a spiced rose ... jolly rancher lol it reminds me of ROSE alcane from Aether Parfums cuz of the synthetic metallic green rose vibe. Egh
Franck Olivier sun java I'm going to put this on all video real ball sprayer cuba
Yooohh that happened to me yesterday I couldn't smell my fragrance I thought I had Corona
Why does the rona have anything to do with it lol
Denis Begic that’s a symptom lol loss of smell and taste
Smells like a sweet hamster cage
LATE?!!! LLLAAAAAATTTEEE???!!! 🤯
Most people say rose
Sounded just like Westside Gunn lol
It’s stupid strong and lasts for hours.
I agree with the comments it is very strong, but I don't think it smells good AT ALL.
smelt great on opening, got cloyingly sweet syntheic sickning. HARD PASS!
MFK 'A La Rose' > YSL 'Ultimate' > 'Toy Boy'
Whats the name of the track at the end???
I wanna know myself...that shitz 🔥
It honestly last long and smells strong I don’t like it, honestly on my skin smells like a strong feminine perfume
Recently I started spraying all my fragrances on my clothes. My skin is a sponge.
Ive heard mosturizing helps that, idk if you do often or not but that's just what I've heard lol.
Erik Javick doesn’t work for me
This shit smells like someone melted a Barbie in the microwave... 😆😂😁
The boy had to tone down on the 5 sprays lol a lot of performance and lasting 3 sprays only now
Needs to revisit this. Or he didn't get an authentic one lol.
That “pause” homophobic comment. Stop with that shit. You need to be careful. Because some of the comments you make Cuba are problematic. I dig your reviews, foh with you toxic masculinity. Especially being a man of color.
I thought the same thing my boy lol
