Description

The story behind this fragrance

Rumba opens with a bright burst of stone fruit and citrus—peach and plum softened by the herbal green of basil, orange blossom's honeyed whisper cutting through. The heart unfolds into a lush, almost overwhelming florality: tuberose and gardenia bloom alongside carnation's spiced edge, while honey and tonka bean add a warm sweetness that feels almost edible. As it settles, leather and oakmoss ground the composition, sandalwood and cedarwood emerge from beneath the vanilla's creamy hum, and patchouli darkens the base into something earthy and sensual, the plum returning faintly like a memory of the opening.
