Being a Parfum Cologne, this iteration of Enigma opens very bright and fresh with bergamot and jasmine among other florals. However this quickly settles and darker notes begin to creep forward, namely a dry tobacco, cognac and vanilla blended perfectly with benzoin of the highest quality to give the fragrance it’s signature ‘fizz’ Once this hits the dry down it is something truly magical - with the cognac, tobacco, vanilla and benzoin taking the lead creating the most beautiful warm spicy scent trail; these notes then float on a soft bed of sandalwood, ginger and ambergris. In terms of quality of ingredients and scent profile this shares a lot of similarities with the Parfum, however I find the Parfum Cologne to be brighter, more youthful and versatile - and obviously a lot more affordable. The performance is pretty good considering it’s bright and sparkly profile, and projects pretty well too. The quality here is incredible and the scent itself is a masterpiece - incredibly unique and a true modern classic.
