Dark seductive, velvety, and sensual scent. Unfortunately, it lasts less than 1 hour, even if oversprayed. This is the one that made me give up Oriflame perfumes for good, there was only one (Giordani Gold) that ever worked for me.

Luthien999

Mysterious and Intense Scent! Hidden gem. Projection and Longevity are amazing.

H.audrey

Water ‼️‼️.

emilymonroe1

Enigmatic, dark, sexy, provocative, self-assured and really feminine This fragrance is AMAZING! Patchouli leaves and glossy amber are wrapped around warm sandalwood. It smells costly and old, even better than certain designer perfumes, and it has a seductive yet feminine scent. Strong but dazzlingly gorgeous, subtle yet gloomy. Warm and dangerously calm, the heart is. Perfect and lovely! Excellent lifespan and silage qualities, too.

TatianaChoco

Woody and Rosy scent. Sooo goood 👍🌹 Blind buy, but very good blind buy 🎀🙏 Reminds me LBD Party from Avon /before as Little Red Dress/. Good for cold weather.

vootenworld

I didn't think I would like it but it's nice. It smells like the good incense of Japan, or one of those bookstores with dark corners and a scented candle burning somewhere. It's a room scent that is sure to make you feel good but doesn't seem to call back compliments. Personal and skin scent for you alone or if appropriate, closeness and hugs. It's a cousin to Hypnotic Poison

ManoChrome

I had this scent on my wishlist for ages - I tested it a long time ago and found it stunning back then, but somehow never actually bought it. Now it happened to receive a sample again, and I can't stop wondering - why was I so obsessed with this?It is a nice, timeless rose/patchuli scent, not too strong, not too heavy, but still noticeable. It suits chilly autumnal days well. But for me it just lost it's magic, I don't crave it anymore.

After reading comments here, I decide to buy Alien Mugler and I have to say that Enigma is lighter and sweeter than Alien. There is something mysterious about both of them but I refer Enigma. Enigma has more pachouli and smells darker very balance while Alien has more floral and stronger. Love them both about longevity and sillage.

nguyenvuhungvuong

Hope that they bring back this one in the catalogue. In Vietnam I can't find it. And in UK it's still in the catalogue. It's so amazing with unique bottle and dark scent

octobertragedy

I have an almost full bottle of this for some years now. This winter I set myself on a rediscovering journey, so I went ahead with this fragrance, which, in the past, left me the impression of another sweet average, boring fragrance.
Well, it is not average nor boring.
It is actually a very sensual, tonka, patchouli, white floral scent. Crisp opening and warm, earthy, musky drydown. Not exactly mind blowing, but an inexpensive, well done fragrance. Despite its sexiness and alluring vibe, it is a safe, winter, day to day fragrance, imo.
I was also impressed by its performance, the floral opening fades pretty fast, leaving a beautiful sweet patchouli trace, that lasts all day.
I kept it mainly for the bottle, it seemed to perfectly fit my display. I should use it more often...

unique2012msa

very beautiful , cosy and heavenly , I only wish it could last longer.

yana_mar26

Very nice perfume from Oriflame...I love it!

Green.colver

I have this one for 3 or 4 years but I am not sure how I feel about it. I usually redescover the bottle in the winter. I think it is indeed unique, it's a recognisable scent. Strong, long lasting, I don't think it evolves, it is rather linear. But it is so different, crisp but warm, beautiful yet strange, so I will not let it go. It's a keeper(for me, at least). As an advice: test it before buying, even if it's not expensive

gtabasso

unique fruity floral with a sharp edge; peach and freesia in the top then orchid, patch, sandalwood, musk, tonka. The fruit dies out and the balsamic resins take over. Unique and lovely. In the base, my nose says there is myrrh and pepper. This one makes me sneeze but I can't stop sniffing my arm. The patchouli is the soft, sweet, powdery kind rather than the herbal version. No bitterness here. No hippie vibe.

Patricia888

I tried this and the Enigma Dare to dream side by side (one on one wrist other on the other one). And even though I like this one much better the longevity is much shorter than the flanker. One hour and all is left is hardly noticeable vanilla.

Bagoo

Opening on me smells like dried plum.
Amber, vanilla and peach when dried down.
Gave me a headache.

Sits close to skin. Very poor longevity (but maybe it's samples fault).

Satinne

The most notes that you get from is patchouli and wood. I like it. It's not to heavy nor light, something in the middle when you dont want that tea and citrus freshness but you dont want go as heavy as tuberose and gardenia.

nadicamihajlovic

Remarkable similarity with Vampire's Love from essence! The main impression for me is deep, sweet rose, sandalwood comes later and that's the best part. Pleasant and nice, but not that special. Also shares some similar notes with other Oriflame perfume Love Potion...

Suzy.N.M

very heavy and sophisticated .. not for young people. for women over 40

Lisdiana

Mysterious scent especially wear at night. It is not for teenager or fresh scent lover. Sexy and mature. But I don't know why my first bottle more long lasting than my second. So far i like enigma.

Ayina

Very feminine. Quite long lasting, especially if I layered it with the body lotion. I bought this 2 years ago when oriflame made 70% discount, plus extra discount from my friend (she's a member), so happy :)

AnitaAna

The first time I tried it I felt some -soapy, fresh scent-.

I got it as a gift from a friend, but I don't think that I'd choose it myself...
It's nice, but it's not my type of fragrance.
I'm not too keen on it and I will probably sell it.

chuwey

I have the body cream, it smells wonderful, the scent is quite strong and long lasting. the texture where also great. My fav body cream among the other.
And while for the scent, warm and unique.

I definitely would buy the perfume.

WolfszeitA

It smells alright, not that dark and sexy as it was supposed to, rather warm.
But it lasts less than one hour on my skin! I spray it and within the next minutes, it's almost gone. Poor longevity is an euphemism.
I couldn't properly feel the dry down as the whole smell was gone in half an hour. I loved the amber and patchouli notes I was able to feel at some point, but...

I was completely disappointed. I expected Enigma to be a bomb, since it seemed like the perfume I could fall in love with and my boyfriend also liked it. Definitely not what I had in mind.

liiva

So dark, warm, sensual, sexy, elegant, deep, sweet and powdery!
I cannot forget this smell. This is something really special for me. Very tempting and elegant. It is like a very mysterious, dark, elegant woman.
No words. Perfect and beautiful!
This stays on my skin more than 10 hours!!!!!! :)

RonaRona93

Mysterious dark sexy sensual provocative self-confident feminine , what else ????
This perfume is a BOMB! Warm sandalwood wrapped with shiny amber and patchouli leaves , hmmm it's sexy yet lovely ...
It does smell expensive , so so vintage ,even better than some of designer perfumes .
It stands somewhere betweet Poison and Hypnotic Poison by Dior , it's like blending them together adding also few drops of Euphoria by CK , and all this water turns out to smell warmer version of EDEN- CACHAREL

I sexy you Enigma!!

emelim

not for me :(

The Swedish girl

Tobacco smelling patchouli and flowery plastic/vinyl are what I get from Enigma.

I will most certainly NOT buy a bottle of this.

LaDomna

I get a lot of oriflame products from a relative who works at their factory... I recently got this one and while it´s not exciting in any way it´s still quite nice. Too feminine for me but a nice floral/patchouli with a soft amber/vanilla drydown...

imochy

At the first spray... GOD! It's a BOMB!
But maybe I just sprayed it at the wrong timing. It started out loud, smells heavy, really old, and it burst crazily into the air.

I got scared, so I didn't try to sniff it again - and got back directly to thesis-thing.

Yet after typing for a moment, the explosion calmed down, and I started to smell something nice. Subtle yet dark, strong but dazzlingly beautiful. The heart is very warm and dangerously calm. Exactly like a seducing woman in a nice black dress, you get so attracted yet she's ready to shoot you with her gun.

So yeah, I like the dry down :D
Hot! Perfect scent for your little black dress, whenever you want to appear sexy in it.

That it resembles Love Potion by Oriflame, Enigma has some "dangerous" feeling while Love Potion is certainly safer and sweeter.. :)

irarai

luv it absolutely did not know but it last long very long n definitely got it for bargain on sale coz this always seems to b out of stock always i think a must have for those in luv with woodsy notes

belle femme

i dont love pepper in perfumes but in enigma it is sexy and different
i like it but the staying power is weak as all oriflame perfumes
it is a worm perfume for winter days & nights too

MEMA82

paprery fragrance i think it is because woody top note my oppinoin is ENEGMA is sexy and sutes privat moments for lady

Haduska

Usually my skin "eats" every perfume I wear, so after 5 min it´s almost completely gone... I wonder how it´s possible, that this cheaper frag does the job great. Its´sillage is remarkable at me, and the frag is one of my fav for fall/winter along with VR Flowerbomb Extreme. I was so surprised when my collegue this morning said how beautifully and expensive I smell. And I was wearing Enigma, not Flowerbomb, which I had day before, and nobody cared about it. So sometimes the cheaper the better? However If you like frags like Hypnotic Poison from Dior or Kenzo Amour, then Enigma is sure for you:)

Sandy radcliffe

my best forever

nana90

i dont like this perfum it reminds me with pepper or wind :(

Norris

This is my best friend's favourite perfume for winter, and the fact is it smells really good on her (not me I guess). The scent was sensual, warm and comfotable. I used to hug her tight during last summer because of this scent.
However, I don't like the bottle.

nicolette09

This fragrance is starting to grow on me. My mom said it's cute but smells like tobacco but I don't smell any in it. It is definitely sexy and I've got compliments when wearing it but only from people that were very close to me. I wish it would be stronger, it's a very beautiful perfume.

chaosist

A very nice dark floral woody scent, indeed for a confident and sexy woman.
Enigma is quite similar to ck Euphoria. I'd even say it is a mix of 70% of black orchid from Euphoria plus 30% of jasmine from Alien, which is then diluted with traditional Oriflame musk.
Lasted about 5 hours, loud but not overwhelming. If Euphoria is too strong for you then Enigma will probably work better.

I'm starting to think Oriflame makes variations of famous fragrances..

TankGirl

Enigma starts in a really interesting way, a smoky rose surrounded by peach and freesia incenss, very oriental, reminds me of a how an Indian castle should smell. Smoky, sexy, mature, a little bit sexy and a little mysterious. Enigma is for sure a scent for a deeply cold night, the scent its very big and strong with a certain 80' vibe. It requires an outfit, something like in the advert, wich is straight to the point.
(just a funny note about my story with this perfume) My friend gave it to me as her brother told her it smelled like a prostitute perfume...so she thought I would like it...
Well, in the heart notes a very sweet jasmin appears and already the orchid, I can tolerate it and I am a deep jasmin hater, but this jasmin in somewhat gourmand, a warm and a little bit earthy jasmin, not the fresh and acid jasmin we are used too, probably this one has less quality but I prefer it.
The drydown is very good, Im not usually a patchouly girl, but I actually like Enigma's last notes, sweet, warm and sexy.
A very nice scent to wear at night in formal occasions.

Sillage: Massive
Longevity: All day
Personality: A bondgirl in a casino ;)

7/10

DiBonD

For me it is sexy and mysterious. But somehow the drydown smells like Paco Rabanne Black XS.

swedeangel

A suprisingly good oriental,with a lot of blackcurrant in it.stands out amongst oriflames perfumes.

Sissi

Red Raspberries Wraped with Cream with
blackberry swills with Distant scent
of Peach in a Elegantly Dark purple
Lacquard bowl with eight corners shaped like an Octigon. with a Long black slender Elegant spoon. taste this Delectable Decadent Desert.
That's what I imagine.

claudia_23

i had also expected much more from this fragrance, but in general is a nice sweet-oriental fragrance. I think is too dry for me, if it was a litle bit fruitier it would have been much better. but is a warm fragrance that suits me. is good expecially for night and not very proper for the office or school i think...

Nal

This was so warm that I couldn't stand it, usually I love floral oriental type..It was overpowering me....However I loved the bottle :(

kristina_vili

This fragrance is very sensual for me and I like it very much.On my skin is very long lasting and actually is the first parfum i have,which people around me asked what is it and they love it.

Freesia

I like this smell! :) a cold winter it warms me...

asilverfire614

This didn't work on my skin at all. It was sticky, thick, and slightly sour. The red fuity notes were too sweet in a rotting way and I never detected any floral notes at all. I was reminded of the smell of cheap fruity flavors used in drinks and candy. It lasted for about an hour and a half and didn't even seem to have a base. Pretty bottle, disappointing fragrance.

Kama

I want to add some info...
This perfume was created by nose:
Bernard Ellen - same that created Hanae Mori, Jil Sander Style and other Style series, NafNaf etc...

mags

it reminds a bit on kate moss first perfume.but it's very nice

Krista14

Very sensual and luxurious. I think it will be one of those we could remember over the years.

Trvevil

I like it, it's comfortable, warm, perfect for fall/winter. And It lasts ok. I could feel it after all day.
Bottle looks original and well done only on picture, in person it's ...mmm
Well, however, I love the peach and rose. It's sweet, but not overwhelming. Nicely balanced and original. Something in it reminds me faintly of Flowerbomb. I doesn't smell like flowerbomb although..
It totally doesn't suit warm days and summer. I wondered all summer- how could I buy something so unwearable? Cold days came and I discovered that it's good again.
