Joop Homme for Women
I searched for it, I found it!
My wish was to find a scent similar to Joop Homme that smells just like cherry.
A few months ago, I stumbled upon L.Lo Glow After Dark. The scent also developed in the direction of Joop Homme, but it was too strong for me and had a huge leap to the base note, which smells warm, sweet, and woody.
Enigma is very similar compared to After Dark....
Just not as complicated and garish. It starts with a fruity freesia, in my opinion, a very good combination. It doesn’t take long before it shifts towards FLORAL-FRUIT. It’s beautiful to have the sweetness of dates, juicy ripe orange, intoxicating night jasmine note, and a bitter, almost immovable rose crushed and mashed in a bouquet and to be able to bathe in it. That was a moment where I have to say: "I can't take it anymore! I'm drowning!"
What bothers me is the patchouli; the patchouli note comes through right at the beginning of the heart note and accompanies "FRUITY-FLOWERY" like a stray dog on the street.
I’ve been waiting for an hour for the scent to stop being so fruity. It happens very slowly, and so I come closer to warm, sweet amber notes of patchouli and recognize in this stray an old good acquaintance. We chat about old times, laugh, forget the time.
It still smells like cherry to me, but not as balsamic as Joop Homme, rather finer, rounder, calmer, sweeter, more feminine. The orchid makes the scent more elegant, and the black rose is still there, peeking cautiously out from behind the scenes. Like a strict teacher watching her young, dreamy, cheerful children. Held back yet loving.
The sweetness reminds me of Thierry Mugler Alien. But combined with the fruits, sandalwood, and patchouli, the scent has depth and vibration.
Enigma did not exceed my expectations. It smells damn similar to J.Lo Glow After Dark. And since I already have it... Although, After Dark overwhelms me with intensity and brightness and doesn’t have the perfect cherry note that I wanted.
I’ll say yes.

It smells warm, sweet, woody, and like cherry to me, the feminine counterpart to Joop Homme. Best regards!
