Jean-Claude EllenaRon Winnegrad

"Rumba is a bold, lush feminine fragrance launched in 1989. Its character combines ripe plum and other fruity nuances with a dense, opulent floral heart. Honey, tuberose, jasmine, rose, and carnation give the composition a rich and highly expressive floral character. The drydown becomes darker and more textured through leather, ambergris, patchouli, oakmoss, woods, musk, and vanilla. Overall, it presents a sweet fruity-floral style with chypre, oriental, leathery, and animalic facets. Rumba is especially suited to those who enjoy powerful, vintage-styled fragrances with strong presence and lasting character."
