Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Rumba Passion opens with a vibrant, sweet orange blossom, quickly giving way to a rich, thorny rose and heady jasmine heart. The dry down is where the real magic happens, with dark, animalic honey and earthy patchouli creating a deep, sensual warmth. A hint of creamy vanilla rounds out this intoxicating, thick composition.
