Elysium Pour Femme Parfum

I simply cannot accept this rating isn't over 4.0? It seems impossible. Other Rojas like 51 or Elixir rate higher and although I adore them both, they don't compare. Elysium seems fresh, angelic and ethereal and yet also sweet, like you're floating through a garden of white and pink flowers on a sugar bubble. I think that's a hard combo to balance. There are so many fragrances out there that are one note just very, very sweet. They can make my teeth hurt. Even the uber popular Love, Don't Be Shy, gave me cavities! They're usually too screechy and cloying, like I'm drowning in Crush soda and can't come up for air but this lyrical, smooth, sweet floral is like nothing I've ever smelled before. So different, it's immediately recognizable and then totally unforgettable. People at work say when I'm out of the office they miss catching a whiff because it brightens their mood. I have hundreds of perfumes and love most of them. But this is my signature and I interchange this with the Essence version which is lighter and less $$. But when I wear this deeper version, it lasts forever and you only need a few sprays, so the bottle lasts a long time! I've read people talking about longevity which is baffling, I wonder if they're thinking of the Essence version, it can be confusing understanding the difference. But this one is a beautiful Beast! It's similar to Baccarat 540 Extrait and Guidance 46 in sillage and longevity and I have both. And the packaging and bottle are so dreamy, the ombré pink to blue crystal bottle with a large crystal crown top, it looks just like it smells, heavenly. Yes at full price it's insane, I'd never spend $400-500+ on a perfume, never! But if you're resourceful and patient you can find it for much less. Further, because the bottle is so high quality and the brand seems to be less main stream, I've yet to hear of any fakes out there, so it's safer to buy secondhand. Although I'll say it seems harder to find as of late? I'm so worried about this going away, I've bought back ups, and that's a bit cuckoo. But when it's true love it should last a lifetime!😍🥰

I received a travel size of this in an advent calendar a couple of years ago and honestly I am shocked I don’t wear it more. Perhaps it’s the fear of using it all as I will probably never be able to afford a full bottle of this. It’s just so pretty a feminine floral but no too floral, fruity but not overwhelming, musky but not too much and vanilla but not dominant it’s just a well put together fragrance that has a lot going on note wise but it works. It’s a friendly perfume too you could wear this to any occasion and not offend anyone. Love this!

What a beautiful kaleidoscope of notes. It makes me smile because the opening is overwhelming in some ways but I like this initial explosion. To my nose it's flowers, with the tuberose and peony being dominant, sensual woods, fruits, warm musk, vanilla and berries. Elysium PARFUM is a seamlessly blended wonder, but the tuberose stands out throughout. It's clean and fresh and it'll wrap you in warmth (best enjoyed in cooler weather). It's woody type of clean, not light soap type of clean. It leaves a distinctive trail of luxury and optimism :)

Woody, clean, soft, gentle. Very well made, satisfying, rounded and super expensive smelling (as you'd expect). It wears well in colder weather because Elysium radiates a certain warmth. It's somewhat comparable to, but absolutely in a league of their own, an elevated version of Michael Kors Michael because of the way the tuberose is done here and to Dior's J'adore because of the fruity floral clean vibes.

I recently acquired a sample of this. It is a lovely fragrance. On paper, this opens with a citrusy-fruity blast with florals right behind. On me, the opening is with a fruity-floral burst that quickly softens. I love the way the fruits and florals blend together. After about an hour, the strength of the berries and peach begins to subside and the florals take the starring role. Then, over the next couple of hours, the sandalwood and cedar rise and warms the fragrance giving it balance from all of the florals. This fragrance is blended well and would a consideration for a full bottle if it were not so expensive. But I will enjoy the rest of the sample. On a scale of 1 - 3, with 1 being GOAT, I would rate this as a 2+.
