Which Should You Buy?
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.
This 80s powerhouse is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. For those who adore its maximalist charm, Clandestine is a rich, honeyed plum floral with a seductive animalic growl. It's not for the faint of heart, but utterly captivating for the right person.

Season and Occasion Fit
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.
Seasons
A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.
Occasions
Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its rich, sweet, and animalic profile, make it far too overwhelming for office or casual wear. This is a scent for making a bold statement at a formal event or during an intimate evening out.
