Enigma Pour Femme Parfum
“Unravel the Mystery”
Description
Across a crowded room, an elusive beauty appears deep in thought. Half-illuminated by rays of golden sunlight, half shrouded in shadow, one becomes hypnotized by her silhouette. A second glance, a stolen look… it’s never appropriate to stare, so hungry glances are flickered her way. Where is she from and what is she plotting? Like the light playing off her jewellery, there’s a glint in her eye – A certain je ne sais quoi is at play, that could turn your world upside down. Bathed in a glow of Citrus, Ylang Ylang and Sandalwood, this golden creation centres around a squeeze of sensual Peach – a hint toward something tempting to sink your teeth into. Nothing is quite what it seems as something deeper weaves its way out from the shadows of this sunny scent – touches of Ambergris and Musk telling a story of warm skin and whispered secrets.

The Perfumer’s Insight
“Enigma is a scent for the kind of woman who doesn’t just grab people’s attention but holds it. She has an air about her that can stop you in your tracks. Do you know her from somewhere or does she just have that certain “it” factor? That is what I wanted to capture in this fragrance – something that feels both familiar and ambiguous at the same time. Therefore, I knew it needed to be a contrast of light and shade. So, I began with a central note of Peach which is an incredibly interesting material that acts like a bridge between the top and base of a fragrance. As a fruit, it ties in beautifully with the juicy freshness of Citrus to create a bright opening. But it is also has a velvety feel which nestles nicely into more sensual materials like Sandalwood and Ambergris. To make sure everything blends beautifully, I layered in the voluptuous tones of Ylang Ylang to make Enigma an indulgent experience.” – Roja Dove.
