Our story of Enjoli
The advertisement is the artifact. A woman sings about bringing home the bacon, frying it in a pan, and never letting her husband forget he is a man — a thirty-second summary of what was being asked of American women at the end of that decade, set to a jingle, and aired often enough that people who were alive then can still sing it. The product was aimed at the new working woman and the pitch was that she could do everything. The name went with it. What the record shows is that a couple of hundred families heard a name in a commercial, liked the sound, and used it, which makes those children a very precise archaeological layer.

Not established
There is no word behind it. The name was constructed by a marketing department to sound French — it resembles the French for delightful without being it — and it means nothing in any language. That is the ordinary practice for fragrance names and it is worth saying plainly.

Fashion outlook
Enjoli sits outside the current charts, and that is its own kind of answer: naming cycles can only date the names they carried up. A name this rare has no decade stamped on it — it cannot go out of fashion, because it was never in.
