Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rumeur
This one's proper divisive. For some, it's a classy, clean floral, but for others, it's a harsh, old-fashioned nightmare of nail polish remover. Try before you buy, unless you're feeling adventurous.

Our Verdict - Latin Lover
This "Latin Lover" is anything but. Expect a pretty, well-behaved floral that's sparked debate for being misnamed. It's safe, elegant, and perhaps a touch generic, leaning heavily into white and yellow florals with a resinous, musky depth that some find intoxicating while others dismiss as unremarkable or even 'old-lady'.

Season and Occasion Fit

Rumeur

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Autumn Winter

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its strong projection and longevity make it a bit much for casual or office wear, though some find it acceptable in controlled sprays. The unique, often vintage-leaning floral musk makes it suitable for formal events and romantic evenings where a statement is desired.

Latin Lover

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its moderate sillage and elegant, inoffensive floral profile make it suitable for the office and casual wear. While some find it romantic, its 'well-behaved' nature means it might not always hit the mark for a fiery date night, and it's too refined for sport.
