Elysia Apple Rouge

Everywhere I tried to find this - sold out. So I had to get my bottle from a seller on eBay for $40. (Actual price is $25). I smelled KJEA a very long time ago and fell in love with it, but the price put me off. Now I stumbled upon this dupe online because people were hyping it up! I see why that is now... This is spot on, almost the same but still missing something... It doesn’t have the same floral qualities as the OG, nor the depth that comes from the amber/moss notes. Elysia Apple Rouge is a fruit sugar bomb instead! The red apple, lychee, wild berries, sugar and musk is what I smell the most... Which I love, NGL! It does mimic the poor performance that Kayali is known for, but since this is a middle eastern brand I’m sure once it macerates it will outperform it significantly. For now I don’t mind reapplying it every 4hrs or so, and although the projection is kind of intimate - I still get to enjoy it a lot! Those who get close to me say it smells delicious... It’s feminine, fruity, sweet, fun and I’ll always have it in my collection from now on!

Trying them both on different arms atm, and trying to smell any differences between Kayali JEA and this one. They are very similar. But JEA are more...rounded and a tiny bit deeper? JEA has a deeper sweetness than Apple rouge (hard to describe.. it's like comparing a sugar sweetness with a honey sweetness. Not that I pick up any honey. Lol I hope anyone understand what I mean) It ́s like you get a more ripe and juicy apple with JEA, almost to the border of being overripe. And I think Apple Rouge has more musk?. And the apple stand out a bit more in JEA. I think JEA is a tiiiny bit stronger. In case anyone wonders I have just gotten Apple Rouge, maybe it gets stronger if it macerates? Edit: On my skin, the first to disappear was apple rouge. After sleeping and waking up, I still smell JEA albeit faintly.

The opening is EXACTLY like Kayali’s Eden Juicy Apple, but this perfume also duped the ass longevity... oh well. Still smells beautifully fruity. Fresh apple and berries that turns into a more intimate (to not say faint) multifruit smoothie scent but still very much enjoyable. Doesn’t give window cleaning fluid AT ALL to me. Just a gorgeous apple scent. I layer it with VS Moon Spiced Apple to make it spicier but it’s perfect on its own. Overall I’m super happy with this dupe because 125€ for 100ml is crazy work for a perfume that is nearly gone after thirty minutes, and this is a perfect dupe. The packaging is beautiful as well - except for the bottle cap but yk what, it’s fun to play with and it’s not like they could copy the bottle bar for bar 😭

Forgive me for promoting another perfume on here, but I’ve tried another dupe of Kayali JEA that smells identical, just like this one, only with better packaging. I have no idea if this is available outside of Europe, but Layali (yes this is the actual name) Exotic Apple Crush is just as good as this one, only the bottle is beautiful and imo, outdoes even the Kayali one as it’s a little different. Putting this here for those that hated the Elysia bottle lol There’s also the Kenzie perfumes, which are quite popular in France for being Kayali dupes, but I don’t think they’re as spot on as Layali. Still they’re pretty good.

I LOVE this, I am getting the full bottle. This is fruity goodness with a Fructis shampoo vibe (in the best way possible) I get mostly the fruits and the sweetness, not the flowers
