Enigma Aoud

Inspiration
Roja Dove describes Enigma Aoud as a charm from a faraway place. Delicate florals of geranium and rose dance around the sweetness of juicy peach, while the hypnotic warmth of sandalwood and vanilla adds depth and sensuality around the legendary oud. He calls the result a refreshing spritz from a desert oasis.

The Signature of Enigma Aoud
Enigma Aoud builds on the Enigma family, with its peach and heliotrope, and adds oud. Aldehydes give the bergamot a soapy sheen, after which the floral heart with Grasse jasmine and ylang-ylang folds around the peach. In the base, oud, labdanum and patchouli create a woody, slightly smoky depth, kept soft and powdery by benzoin, orris and vanilla.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
To us, Enigma Aoud is oud without a threshold: no sharp edges, yet a recognisable woody soul. The peach is clearly present in the first hour, then it turns floral and powdery and the oud slowly moves forward. Soft vanilla wood is what remains by nightfall. The 100 ml is ideal for anyone wearing it as a regular evening scent. From October to March it rarely leaves our shelf. Elegant oud with a sweet glow is what this flacon is about.
