Moss-Patchouli-Chypre, Floral. .....
....and rhythmically swinging.
I ordered this Lapidus fragrance cheaply in the "Souk," and now I have to realize that only a few "Parfumos" know "Rumba," or can call it their own.
Although it has been around since 2009. However, this still "young" scent olfactorily has many more years under its belt than its release year would suggest.
First: The intensity of the EdT is reminiscent of fragrances from the 70s and 80s.
Second: There is still real oak moss in it, which was significantly reduced as an ingredient in perfumes by the "IFRA" a year later. It’s as if Ted Lapidus' perfumers seized the last chance and worked "properly" with oak moss, making the scent "extra-mossy."
Third: "Rumba" radiates a true "vintage" aura; longevity and sillage are very good.
Furthermore, flowers play a significant role in "Rumba," which do NOT shyly hide behind their green leaves or "go to the cellar to laugh." Everything is there, all relatively unsweet,
Jasmine is certainly present, roses too, but isn’t there also the pungent scent of the garden carnation, which boldly presents itself and makes the other flowers "jealous"?
I also believe I can detect "dust-dry-powdery" iris.
Some things are not listed "above," but are truly present to my nose.
Patchouli plays an equally important role alongside flowers and moss, as it conducts the entire scent progression and, in the end (you have to wait a long time), plays its earthy melody on a double bass.
With a fine accompaniment of musk and civet, which nonetheless show no "claws," but purr like a tame "house cat."
A hefty "retro-chypre" despite its "youth."
