Which Should You Buy?
La Panthère is a bold, divisive chypre that conjures images of powerful women. Love it or hate it, this scent certainly doesn't blend in with the crowd, earning it a loyal following and some equally strong detractors.
Rumba isn't for the faint-hearted. It’s a full-on, unapologetic 80s powerhouse that polarises opinion. Love it for its bold, complex character or hate it for being 'too much' - either way, it leaves an indelible mark.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its strong projection and sophisticated, elegant profile make it perfect for formal events and date nights. While some find it too much for everyday wear, its 'chameleon' nature means it can be adapted for office wear if applied sparingly.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its 'powerhouse' projection and 'monster' sillage, Rumba is definitely not for the office. It's best suited for formal evening events or dates, where its vintage, complex, and 'sexy' nature can truly shine without overpowering. It's too much for casual wear or sport.
