Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rumba Eau de Parfum
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 - Fath de Fath Eau de Parfum
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

Rumba Eau de Parfum

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.

Casual

Given its potent, syrupy sweetness and strong sillage, Fath de Fath isn't ideally suited for the office, where it might overwhelm. It's a fantastic choice for evening dates and formal events, though, with its luxurious and warm profile.
