Modelled profile
Ripe peach and plum, soft and juicy, over jasmine and a hint of leather. Warm and openly sweet, with the leather adding a grown-up edge. Plush and inviting.

Found something that feels like home and never left.
Connection to home and your people is what you are all about. The fragrance found you as much as you found it. May those connections remain firm.
How Rumba smells, measured
On Zenyra's five taste axes, Rumba reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory, and carries sweetness without letting it define the scent.
Modelled profile. This profile is derived from the evidence currently available and may be refined over time.
Rumba reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory. That is 85th percentile for warmth across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Rumba sits mid-range on projection.
Rumba sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available.
Rumba carries some body without feeling heavy. That is 42nd percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Rumba carries sweetness without letting it define the scent. That is 78th percentile for sweetness across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
