Or are they?
Living where I do, there's a lot of focus on the thawing relationship with Cuba. Somehow missing in the conversation ... whether this new found potential partial embrace of our ideals might result in the reversal of last fall's "Council of Ministries'" decision on the island to punish the state pharmaceutical and chemical company for creating fragrances named after those friends-of-Cuba.
(Lest I get too judgmental, remember that celebrity perfumes are par for the course in our capitalist society as well -- a la a few from Liz Taylor, the classic Uninhibited from Cher, one made from the sweat of the husband of one of the girls known for their spice, a bunch of Britney's concoctions, etc etc etc)
So unless the thaw in relations brings them back, opportunities to smell like a socialist (which I have to think was at least 90% patchouli), you will be missed.
