Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rumba

Rumba is a divisive beast, a true love-it-or-hate-it powerhouse from perfumery's wilder days. If you're after something subtle, look away now, because this one's got more personality than a room full of drag queens.

Our Verdict - Fiori di Capri

This is a divisive one. Many find its rich, vintage floral profile 'old-fashioned' or even 'annoying'; however, for those who appreciate classic complexities, it's a 'masterpiece' and 'heaven-like'. Definitely a love-it-or-hate-it scent.

Season and Occasion Fit

Rumba

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Given its enormous sillage and longevity, Rumba is definitely not an office-friendly scent unless you want to make an extremely bold statement. Its rich complexity and strong, sensual character make it perfect for evening dates and formal events where you want to be noticed.

Fiori di Capri

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its vintage, mature floral character and decent silage make it better suited for evening and formal events, though some find it light enough for casual wear. It's generally too intense for an office setting.
