Which Should You Buy?
Cabotine is a force of nature, a bold floral explosion that absolutely polarises opinion. Some love its vintage charm and potent sillage, others recoil from its 'old-fashioned' punch. It’s cheap 'n' cheerful, but divisive; you'll either adore its green, sweet power, or scrub it off in horror.
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 warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its potent projection and longevity make it less suitable for office wear, but its celebratory floral character shines for formal events and even casual outings where you want to make a statement. The strong sillage means it might be too much for an intimate date, but a confident wearer can pull it off.
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.
