E
THE ENIGMA
old resin
one of three ways this identity shows up
Vintage codes. Aldehydic florals, classic chypres, mid-century structure.
Vintage chypre. The Enigma whose materials no longer exist at full strength. Oakmoss before the regulation, civet before the ban, aldehydes the way they were used in the 1950s. Not old in the dated sense. Old in the way a closed perfumery house is old, when what remains is the only record.
MATERIALS
- Oakmoss
- Bergamot
- Aldehydes C-11, C-12
