Roja Parfums Enigma Pour Homme
Cognac, tobacco and vanilla, with a spark of ginger
Enigma Pour Homme is Roja's picture of a stranger at the bar of a private members' club, wrapped in cognac and tobacco. It is a Parfum, so the build is dense and warm rather than airy. Bergamot opens it briefly, flowers and heliotrope soften the middle, and the base is amber, spicy and smoky. The 50 ml bottle holds the Parfum strength.

How it unfolds
-
A short bright start
Bergamot is the only note listed at the top, so the opening is brief and clean: a flash of citrus peel that clears quickly. Do not expect a long fresh phase. The fragrance moves to its centre within minutes, and from there it is warm, floral and spicy rather than bright.
-
Flowers with a powdery edge
Geranium, Rose de Mai, neroli and Jasmin de Grasse make a polished floral heart, and heliotrope adds a powdery, almost cherry-like fizz on top. The flowers are neither sweet nor pastel here. They work as a cushion that makes the spice and tobacco underneath feel smoother and rounder.
-
Cognac, tobacco, benzoin
Cardamom, ginger and pepper give the base a hot spark, patchouli and sandalwood add earth and dry wood, and cognac and tobacco bring the smoke. Benzoin and vanilla turn it balsamic and sweet against the dry leaf, and ambergris leaves a warm, faintly salty trace on skin.
Wearing it
When, who and why
Wear it after dark
Enigma is made for cooler weather and the evening: dinners, bars, theatre nights, winter coats. As a Parfum it needs only one or two sprays on the chest or the base of the neck. Any more and the tobacco and benzoin begin to crowd a small room, so let the scent do its work at a moderate dose.
Who it is for
Listed for men, Enigma suits anyone who likes a smoky amber scent with sweetness in the background: tobacco leaf, spiced cognac, vanilla. It is for people who wear a fragrance as a presence rather than a quiet detail, and who like their evenings warm, dark and a little theatrical. It is not the obvious pick for a hot afternoon.
Why choose Roja Parfums Enigma Pour Homme
Roja Parfums says its fragrances are made in England and shown in signature bottles adorned with crystal. Enigma Pour Homme comes as a Parfum, a format the house offers in 50 ml. The brand tags it amber, rich, smoky and addictive, and the notes bear that out from heart to base.

Questions
Frequently asked
What concentration is Enigma Pour Homme?
It is a Parfum in a 50 ml bottle. A Parfum is a richer format than an Eau de Parfum: dense, close to the skin and built to last, so one or two sprays are enough.
What kind of scent is it?
Amber, smoky and spiced: cognac and tobacco with benzoin and vanilla, lifted by ginger, cardamom and pepper, and softened by a floral heart with heliotrope.
Does it suit a gift?
Yes, for someone who likes warm, dark fragrances for evenings and cold weather. It is a less obvious choice for a person who prefers fresh citrus or light florals.
Where should I spray it?
On warm skin at the chest, the base of the neck or the inner elbow. The heat of the body helps the tobacco and vanilla open up and carry as you move.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
