CreamyWhat does Oriental Enigma (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
The opening of hazelnut, hibiscus, tonka bean and date reads sweet and creamy. In the heart, saffron, iris, immortelle and rum bring spice, powder and a little weight; in the base, vanilla and cedarwood soften the sweetness and settle it onto a woody footing.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, and most voters find it stays on for a long time. Its rich, oriental character sits comfortably on men and women alike. Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Le Parfum and MAD Parfumeur Sapphire have a close profile.
