Enigma Pour Homme
by Roja Dove
Roja Dove's Enigma Pour Homme is a masterfully blended, opulent fragrance that opens with a brilliant effervescence, distinctly reminiscent of a fine, artisanal cola—bright, fizzy, and sparkled with ginger, black pepper, and bergamot. This vibrant top note evolves into a deeply luxurious heart of cognac, tobacco, and vanilla, with warm, earthy base notes of patchouli, benzoin, and amber. The composition is rich, smooth, and mature, offering a sophisticated balance of boozy sweetness, spiced warmth, and subtle animalic depth. Longevity is exceptional, lasting well beyond 10 hours on skin, with projection that is strong yet never overwhelming—best suited for cooler weather and formal settings. The scent is unisex in potential but strongly leans masculine, exuding confidence, class, and a sense of quiet power.
