Prism Parfums Alexandra De Markoff Enigma 50ml EDP Spray
Discover Alexandra De Markoff Enigma, a refined woody oriental fragrance from Prism Parfums designed for confident elegance and lasting intrigue. The opening unfolds with sparkling aldehydes and fresh green notes, accented by green grass, bergamot, allspice, and coriander to create a crisp, modern aura. This bright introduction gives way to a lush floral heart that balances timeless sophistication with contemporary depth.
