Enigmatic glow (4)

I believe the answer is:

aura

(Other definitions for aura that I've seen before include "Distinct but intangible quality about a person" , "Intangible quality surrounding a person or thing" , "Atmosphere, quality" , "subtle emanation" , "Distinctive quality (of something or someone)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
