Ted Lapidus's Rumba carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Best 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.
