Enigme
Fragrance notes
Character
Enigme opens with a brisk mix of lavender, lemon, bergamot and orange, softened by the green bite of coriander and tarragon. The citrus feels clean and straightforward, giving the first minutes a bright, herbal lift that stays present for a good while before the rest of the composition steps forward.
The heart introduces carnation and cinnamon alongside rose, jasmine and geranium. The spices add warmth while the flowers keep the texture rounded and slightly dusty. Sandalwood and cedar enter early enough to give the middle phase a dry, woody backbone that prevents the florals from feeling too soft.
Benzoin, amber, tonka bean and vanilla build a smooth, resinous base that lingers through the day and into the following morning on fabric. Oakmoss and patchouli add earthiness, while labdanum and musk deepen the finish. The scent stays near the body and surrounds the wearer with a warm, powdery aura that remains steady without expanding outward.
This is a dense, traditional fragrance composed by Alberto Morillas in 1992. It suits a quiet evening indoors, a cold walk under streetlights or a formal dinner in cool weather. The blend is rich and cohesive, though the heavy musk and powdery amber can feel dated and overwhelming to anyone who prefers modern, transparent compositions.
