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.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect luscious, syrupy fruits that some find divine and others, well, a bit too much. If you're after a warm, rich, and overtly sweet scent with a vintage vibe, you'll be chuffed.

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.
