Charles of the Ritz Enjoli is a Cologne launched in 1978. Enjoli opens with Hyacinth, Green Notes, Bergamot, and Peach, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Charles of the Ritz's Enjoli carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Enjoli is a classic for a reason, despite its slightly dated aldehydic opening. It's a charming, grown-up floral that still sparks joy and nostalgia, offering a beautiful dry down that holds its own.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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 moderate sillage and long-lasting nature make it suitable for casual and office wear without being overpowering. While many recall it as a daily driver, its classic floral chypre character might feel a touch heavy for modern formal settings.

About

Opens with a lively, almost sparkling burst of aldehydes and green notes, softened by a hint of peach and hyacinth for a fresh, airy welcome. This bright introduction soon gives way to a lush, elegant heart where creamy tuberose, sweet jasmine, and spicy carnation mingle with delicate rose and iris. The journey concludes with a warm, grounding base of rich amber, creamy vanilla, earthy oakmoss, and subtle woods, creating a comforting yet sophisticated finish.
