Enigmatic

Enigmatic is a women's eau de parfum from Ann Summers, sold as a 100ml spray and a 10ml purse spray, and also in a gift set. The brand says it is infused with Allure Aromatics, its name for a pheromone-style blend, which is a marketing claim, and describes a sensual, mysterious scent that warms on the skin and changes through the day. The pyramid is the same on the brand page and the retailer listings. Bergamot, cardamom, violet and orange sit on top. The heart is fir balsam, geranium and vetiver. The base is tonka, vanilla, musk and amber. Retailer copy describes a rich, spicy aroma with an initial brightness from zesty citrus, and calls it deep and spicy. Read by its notes, it should open bright and peppery, move through a green, woody middle, and rest in a warm, sweet and slightly resinous base. Those are readings of the notes, not wear-test results. The bottle is a tall ribbed teardrop of wine-red glass with a dark loop-shaped cap, and the gift set uses a pink cylinder box. The brand lists it as vegan. No perfumer or launch year is named. Shop reviews are positive, with a rating of 4.8 from 20 reviews on the brand site and a lower 3.9 from 14 ratings on a large retail site. One retail buyer calls it not too overpowering but lingering, and says it smells like the spices you would use for a curry. The brand page now shows it out of stock, so it may be a fading line, although other retailers still list it. A good choice for people who like a spicy amber scent for evenings and cooler weather.
