    What do reviewers say about Sung and Rumba?

    Sung doesn't whisper. Bold 1980s florals, strong sillage, confident presence that fills a room whether you intend it to or not. The people who love it make it their signature.Sung
    Some fragrances hint at complexity. This one throws it at you, sweet florals, warm leather, animalic undercurrent, and dares you to keep up. Built for the wearer who knows exactly what she wants.Rumba
