Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its intimate sillage and moderate longevity make it perfect for office or casual wear where subtlety is key. While some find it alluring for dates, its skin-scent nature means it won't project much. It's too subdued for formal events but ideal for light activity due to its clean, airy quality.

About

Enigma opens with a sheer, elusive quality, often perceived as a soft, dry woodiness akin to pencil shavings or old books. As it settles, a warm, musky creaminess emerges, occasionally hinting at a subtle sweetness like toasted marshmallow or even a clean, 'fresh out of the dryer' feel. Its character is truly a 'skin scent,' morphing uniquely with each wearer's chemistry into an indescribable, almost nostalgic aroma. The overall impression is minimalist, woody, and gently musky.
