Cuban content creator Teresa, known on TikTok as @teresavidavictoria, has revolutionized social media with a response that is as clever as it is nostalgic, bringing back classic Cuban perfumes and transforming them into an international seduction recipe.
It all started when a user criticized Teresa, calling her a "retired bandit." Far from being offended, the influencer responded with a touch of criollo humor and a nod to her personal story. In a video that has amassed over 45,000 views and hundreds of comments, Teresa shares her advice in a teasing tone, yet filled with cheekiness:
“Do you know what this little box has? The perfumes that made me enchant the Frenchman: Blue Moon, Camerata, Alicia Alonso —which still has a strong impact because I seduced him with it 20 years ago— and Gato Negro. Trust me. A retired bandit is telling you this; with these perfumes, I won over the Frenchman, and he’s still crazy about me to this day.”
His comment, clearly a satire directed at his "hater," has sparked collective nostalgia and ignited conversation among Cuban users both on the island and abroad.
Many fondly remember the mentioned fragrances, all iconic brands from the catalog of Cuban cosmetics from past eras, and have shared their own stories connected to those perfumes. And you, what Cuban perfume do you remember or still use?
