What does Rumba Passion smell like?

Orange blossom opens it, with jasmine and rose in the heart. Honey, patchouli and vanilla underneath sweeten the scent and add a spicy, slightly smoky warmth. The floral and fruity sides lead, with a soft powdery feel alongside.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen most often for evenings and nights out. It reads feminine and classic. Its profile is close to Montale Rendez-vous à Moscou and Câline Femme Florale.
