Me Gusta, a creation by Jacques Zolty in 2019, is an oriental-to-oriental-woody fragrance that transports one to the vibrant heat of Havana, offering an extraordinary sensory experience. This unique scent encapsulates the essence of Cuban culture, mirroring the distinctiveness of Havana coffee. This coffee blend is characterized by its intense, sweet notes, and an enveloping charm that is unparalleled in its allure. Its consumption is an invitation to a leisurely exploration of its aromatic depth and velvety texture, harmonizing with the dynamic pulse of life in Havana.

In the colorful streets of the city, one can observe the casual elegance with which Cubans park their vintage cars, symbols of grandeur and age, reflective of their aspirations. Leaning against these automobiles, they engage in animated conversations, often pausing to sip their cherished cafecito. It is in these moments, amidst the routine of daily life, that the simple yet profound expression of admiration, "Me Gustas," is often heard, reflecting the charm and grace of the Cuban spirit.

Me Gusta's fragrance profile features an intriguing blend of Amyris resin, coffee beans, black pepper, cloves, and a deep note of vetiver, accented by a heady touch of lewd jasmine. This composition rests on a base of tonka bean and cedarwood, creating a bold and vibrant earthy greenness, uniquely combined with a creamy sweetness reminiscent of a rich, foamy cup of well-crafted coffee.

The perfume opens with a mouthwatering, energizing aroma of coffee, cloves, and fresh Amyris gum, swiftly transitioning to a woody heart that captivates with its harmonious blend. Cedarwood and vetiver provide a crisp, earthy base, elegantly wrapped in a sophisticated aura where black pepper and cloves elevate the composition to new heights.

Me Gusta is designed for those who appreciate the warm, sensual softness of woody fragrances, preferring colognes that create an intimate aura and leave a lasting impression. Its soft smoky and earthy characteristics evoke the image of a connoisseur who has indulged in a premium Cuban cigar, savored a cup of coffee, and now carries the lingering scent on their attire, subtly yet unmistakably.

With its distinctly woody and softly smoky aura, Me Gusta predominantly leans towards a masculine scent profile, appealing to those who appreciate the finer details in fragrance.
