Reviews →

Ted Lapidus Rumba is a dark, heavy oriental floral that throws back to 1989. It blends a very syrupy, honeyed plum opening with dry leather and heavy oakmoss in the base. This bottle is built for fans of unapologetic vintage powerhouses who want a bold, warm scent for chilly autumn evenings.
