Reviews →

Oriflame Enigma Dare to Dream opens with a wet spray of sweet melon and dark black currant before settling into lush tropical frangipani. Damp oakmoss and earthy vetiver anchor the base, giving the sweet yellow florals a crisp, soapy bite. It suits spring mornings when cool humidity sharpens green blossoms.
