Which Should You Buy?
Enigma is a genuinely divisive scent - some find it a mysterious, dark powerhouse, others a fleeting disappointment. Skip the blind buy, this one is a truly love-it-or-hate-it affair.
A creamy, tropical vanilla powerhouse that divides opinion on its resemblance to the original Far Away. Some find it a softer, more refined sister, while others call it overly sweet and headache-inducing. Master perfumer Calice Becker delivers exceptional bang for your buck.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent projection and dark, sensual character make it unsuitable for daily office wear but perfect for dates and formal evening events. The prominent patchouli and amber give it a rich warmth best suited for colder weather occasions rather than casual daytime activities.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its strong longevity and sillage, Far Away Gold is less suited for office wear, where it might overwhelm. It's excellent for dates and formal events due to its rich, sensual character and 'beast mode' performance; for casual wear, apply lightly, especially in warmer weather.
