HAVANA — Cuba’s biggest producer of natural products has come up with a pair of colognes for the discerning supporter of international socialism who wants something more than just the iconic “Che” T-shirt.
Ernesto, a woodsy and refreshing citric scent with notes of talcum powder, honors guerrilla leader Ernesto “Che” Guevara. For those seeking something softer and fruitier, there’s a blend with hints of mango and papaya called Hugo, for the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
“They will be very attractive colognes, but the names also mean a lot to us,” said Isbel Gonzalez, vice president for research and development for Labiofam, which produces homeopathic medicines, cleaning products and dietary supplements.
Formulated by a French company and produced in Cuba, the men’s colognes are being presented this week at a Labiofam convention in Havana.
