Which Should You Buy?
This is a lovely white floral, safe and inoffensive, if a little 'generic' or 'clean shampoo'. Perfect for those who want a fresh, feminine scent that's elegant without trying too hard, though some find it sharp or 'old ladyish'.
A budget take on Roja Enigma Pour Homme. Mystic Enigma carries the boozy cognac-vanilla-tobacco DNA and reads pleasingly upscale, but as community reviewers note it doesn't 'pop' like the original - the high-grade ingredients that gave Roja's version its rich depth and projection come across slightly flatter and shorter here.
