The review
Strong contender. That is where Enigma of Taif lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Ta'if.
Swiss Arabian sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Ta'if's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $59 per 100ml it costs 73% less than Ta'if — the 2nd cheapest of 2 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Swiss Arabian publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
