What do reviewers say about Enigme and Derby (Vintage)?
This is one of those discontinued Pierre Cardin fragrances people keep stumbling onto and asking why this ever stopped being made. Alberto Morillas approached this like a real commission.Enigme
This is a chypre that doesn't ask permission. The artemisia opens sharp, the leather settles bold, and the vetiver refuses to leave. Most fragrances from 1985 feel dated.Derby (Vintage)
