Nirvana

this is honestly a nice fragrance! i imagine it as sort of a spicer blend for a beach inspired fragrance. it feels very masculine and very young, but i think anyone could really pull this off. works great in hot weather and you can really smell the blends of ingredients as you wear it for longer. i dont get many compliments but i dont get notes of disgust ever from people. its quite cheap imo and its not overbearing. its good for its price. its a nice beginning scent for all people looking for a masc summer smell!

The spirit of Elysium is here but it is not as complex primarily on the dry down. Elysium really shines and becomes the sweet smooth but also strong sort of leathery scent after several hours. I feel like this also transforms but on my skin it doesn't project as much and the dry down just isn't as strong. Because of this, I feel like this is more it's own fragrance than a clone which is perfectly fine. It's a good frag, and the price to performance literally can't be beat.

Really like the smell of this fragrance. It is refreshing and pleasant. That being said, there are a good amount of things going against this. The atomizer on the bottle is terrible. Very little comes out. Today, I put on close to 15 sprays and it still didn't seem like enough. Sillage is non-existent after 30 minutes and the scent was a skin scent by the 3 hour mark. Too bad because I really enjoy the aroma of this blend. Hard to believe it is an extrait de parfum. It's not as close to Elysium as I had hoped it would be. Doesn't have the nice vetiver dry down of the original fragrance. I would have a hard time calling this a clone when it's more like an interpretation of the scent profile. Not bad but won't be ordering any refills when clones like Zion exist. I would love it if Roja Elysium would last longer. I would gladly spend the money for it.

Its a pretty average summer scent, a bit too minty for me but not terrible.
