Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - No. 4 Eau de Parfum
This 90s powerhouse is a fascinating blend of opulence and restraint. It's a scent for the bold, confident woman who isn't afraid to make an entrance, though some find it a bit too vintage for everyday wear. Love it or hate it, No. 4 demands attention.

Our Verdict - Rumba Eau de Parfum
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

No. 4 Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong sillage and rich, complex profile, No. 4 is best suited for formal events and dates, where its presence can truly shine. It's generally too intense for an office setting and much too overstated for casual wear or sport.

Rumba Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

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.
