Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rumeur Eau de Parfum
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Forever Eau de Parfum
Narciso Rodriguez Forever splits the crowd, with some hailing it as a perfected iteration of the brand's classic musky florals, while others find its charms fleeting and unoriginal. Expect a battle between love and indifference.

Season and Occasion Fit

Rumeur Eau de Parfum

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.

Forever Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its clean, elegant white floral and musky profile makes it highly versatile for office, casual, and date wear. However, for formal occasions, its 'clean' nature might lack the gravitas some prefer. It's too refined for sport.
