About

Enigma opens with a subtle flirtation of peach and freesia, quickly drawing you into its floral core where romantic rose and heady jasmine bloom. The journey deepens into a warm, powdery embrace of orchid, sandalwood, and patchouli, underpinned by a smooth, sweet vanilla and tonka bean drydown. It's a rich, enveloping scent that feels both classic and intriguing.
