The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Enigma Parfum d'Or by Roja Dove is a fragrance that captures the essence of contradiction and complexity. The top note of bergamot introduces a fresh citrus vibrancy that quickly gives way to a heart filled with rose, heliotrope, ylang-ylang, jasmine, geranium, and neroli — floral notes that are both delicate and assertive. The base combines musk, ambergris, orris root, sandalwood, patchouli, and vanilla absolute, creating a warm and enveloping foundation. This composition oscillates between freshness and warmth, lightness and depth, making it a true enigma.

How to wear it

Start with one spray to allow the fresh citrus top notes to settle. The heart and base notes will gradually unfold over time, so it’s best applied in the morning for full effect throughout the day.
