Balenciaga 1989 EDP
Rumba
by Jean-Claude Ellena , Ron Winnegrad
Balenciaga Rumba is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1989, created by Jean-Claude Ellena and Ron Winnegrad. Rumba opens with Bergamot, Orange Blossom, Peach, and Plum, settles into a heart of Marigold, Jasmine, Tuberose, and Magnolia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Cedar. Balenciaga's Rumba carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.
Rumba is a divisive beast, a true love-it-or-hate-it powerhouse from perfumery's wilder days. If you're after something subtle, look away now, because this one's got more personality than a room full of drag queens.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Best Occasions
Given its enormous sillage and longevity, Rumba is definitely not an office-friendly scent unless you want to make an extremely bold statement. Its rich complexity and strong, sensual character make it perfect for evening dates and formal events where you want to be noticed.
