    What do reviewers say about Diva and Rumba?

    Jacques Polge built this for a woman who knows she's the main character. The aldehydes are vintage, the civet is real, and neither is subtle. If you're shopping for discretion, keep walking.Diva
    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
