Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Enigma EDC
This is a seriously divisive Roja Dove scent: half the room will want to know what this delicious cherry cola is, the other half will accuse you of smelling like a urinal, old books, or wet dog. If you're into that kind of drama, spray away.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Armani Code Colonia EDT
This one's a proper crowd-pleaser, fresh but with enough Code DNA to keep it interesting. Don't expect groundbreaking complexity, but do expect to smell damn good - and get compliments.

Season and Occasion Fit

Enigma

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its boozy and tobacco accords, make it too potent for an office setting. It's perfectly suited for dates and formal events where its richness can truly shine, while being a bit much for casual or active wear.

Armani Code Colonia

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, clean profile and moderate performance make it ideal for the office and casual wear, as many users attested. While pleasant for dates, its lack of intense projection means it might not stand out in formal settings or intense sports, though its freshness is good for light activity.
