Which Should You Buy?
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.
V by Clive Christian is a polarising beast, a dark, complex chypre that challenges expectations. It's not for the faint of heart, or those seeking a sweet floral everyday scent - expect an assertive, almost brooding character that demands attention, for better or worse.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its intense projection and dark, heavy accords make it unsuitable for an office or casual setting. This scent is built for impactful evening wear, especially formal events or intimate dates where its complex character can be appreciated.
