Elysium Pour Homme Parfum Cologne

Roja Parfums Elysium Pour Homme Parfum Cologne opens with a moderate projection of citrus, green, woody, spicy, and musky accords. The opening is fresh, sharp, common, and versatile. The lemon, bergamot, juniper berries, black currant, and pink pepper are the opening noticeable notes. The lemon, bergamot, lime, and grapefruit create a delectable, very sour, and intense note that makes the fragrance very fresh, the bergamot and lemon are more noticeable than the lime or grapefruit. The juniper berries and black currant work together as an enhancing note, they are prominent and add a fresh, woody, piney, green, resinous, fruity, tangy, green, and slightly musky ammoniac accord. The pink pepper is a mild spicy note, a step behind the citruses and tangy greens. As the fragrance commences to dry down, the initial citrus sharpness takes a step back meanwhile, the vetiver and cedar gain strength adding a very fresh green and woody note with a citrusy nuance that maintains the initial line created by the bergamot. The ambergris is the musky note, earthy, slightly mineral, mossy, projecting, but inoffensive. The rest of the notes are there to provide support, the thyme, artemisia, and galbanum contribute with light green, herbal, and slightly minty note; the vanilla and benzoin are a faint sweet touch; and the leather and labdanum work as projecting note but remain in the back of the fragrance. The fragrance has a few and noticeable opening to dry down changes, the opening favors the citruses, they are fresh, moist, and sharp but don’t last long; in a moment, they take a step back letting the vetiver, cedar, and ambergris join them side by side. The fragrance becomes dry, and the projection changes from citrusy to fresh, green, woody, and musky. Once Roja Parfums Elysium Pour Homme Parfum Cologne has reached its full dry down, it can be summarized as a moderate projection, slightly sweet, citrus, bergamot, green vetiver, musky ambergris, woody cedar, tangy juniper berries, black currant, and spicy fragrance with faint leather and floral accords. The fragrance feels casual, common, diurnal, dry, earthy, elegant, energizing, exquisite, fresh, fruity, grassy, green, inviting, masculine, moderate-quality, modern, musky, playful, professional, refreshing, sharp, smoky, sour, sporty, sweet, versatile, weak, wild, woody, zesty, and very pleasant.

Lovely smell and fantastic daily wearer that isn't like other fragrances - it doesn't smell anything like Aventus and I cannot even say they are similar to my nose. It is a more complex and dare say, more mature fragrance than that. It's certainly more subtle. You can wear it with anything. Projection is quite a lot lower than Aventus and you find yourself spraying it on clothes to maximise that longevity. You can do a lot of overspraying with this, it's very forgiving. Sillage is very low but then most of us here have collections and if you want a sillage monster that will turn noses and heads in your direction, then we mostly all have a go to for that. This isn't that kind of fragrance so I don't feel like that is a negative, even if this is an expensive fragrance for sure and some may want a bit more oomph. Loewe 001 is the Aventus clone and has a much longer performance than Elysium if that is what you are after, for example. I'd like to see more after four or five hours here but there is nothing stopping you spraying more. I just accept that it isnt going to last you all day. Doesnt mean you shouldn't wear it. I just wish it had more sticking power. I think the strength here is its versatility and ubiquity rather than performance. It's clearly a fine fragrance with some mystique and class to it but it doesnt need to be a powerhouse nose hammer. Horses for courses, people.

Upon the opening, you are greeted with beautiful natural citrus notes and strong juniper berries (a great scent for gin fans out there). I experienced these for the first five minutes. After that, some woody and spiced notes began to join the juniper berries. I'll be honest: the fragrance is lovely both at the opening and in the middle, as the juniper is well incorporated into this composition. After about 15 or 20 minutes, I started to pick up on some vanilla that lingered for the rest of the wear. As for performance, I noticed strong projection for the first hour, reaching about an arm's length, and it smelled fantastic during this time. However, after that first hour, it faded to a skin scent that required me to bring my nose close to my arm to detect it. By spraying it on my clothes, I could still catch whiffs of it up to about sixth hour but this was only on cloths. Overall, while the performance isn't exceptional for a niche price. In summary, this fragrance smells great, and I enjoy wearing it. However, given its price, I would recommend opting for the EDP intense or Parfum versions instead of the cologne. Lastly, while I appreciate this bottle, I don’t see myself purchasing it anytime soon, as I already own Merakai Bliss by Patek Maison, which has a very similar DNA. However, Bliss comes with the added benefit of being an EDP, offering longevity and projection of over six hours.

I think that these reviews have already described this fragrance pretty well, so my fresh take is - Elysium is the Infinity Gauntlet, and all of the popular, heavy-hitter men's colognes are the Infinity Stones. Elysium takes the grapefruit and ambers of Bleu de Chanel, the fresh spiciness of Juniper Sling or Lothair, the woody vetiver from Terre d'Hermes, and then the smoky drydown of Aventus, and combines them into the ultimate 2000s fragrance. This is why I understand both sides of the arguments claiming this does or doesn't smell like whichever fragrance, because whilst the combination is its own scent profile, I believe that many aspects of Elysium are noticeably inspired by the afore mentioned. This amalgamation of all the classic masculine DNAs is guaranteed to be appealing, but it comes at the cost of not smelling like anything groundbreaking. The lack of uniqueness coupled with the poor performance means Elysium should not be as expensive as it is, and I think this is the main reason why so many people here aren't a fan. Nevertheless, if you like those Infinity Stones (which I do), and you're looking for a marginal upgrade in quality and complexity, then Elysium might be perfect for you.

I really do not understand the blatant hatred this perfume receives nowadays. I bought this from the Burlington Arcade flagship from my recent holiday in London. What better way one can spoil himself by buying an English perfume from arguably the best scent maker in the world. On a more serious note, what do people expect from a scent profile like this? 24 hour longevity and a monstrous sillage? If you do, please find another hobby, since this one is clearly not for you. Surprisingly though, this fragrance for what it is, is exceptionally long lasting. Opening notes of the most reinvigorating, effervescent and sparkling citruses that will guarantee a good mood when you wear it. It further develops with a very interesting tart apple, lavender, pink pepper and cedar accord, only to fully dry down to a sensual masculine base of LOTS of vetiver, ambers and a very slight hint of vanilla molecules. Sillage is not monstrous, which is more than expected for a natural smelling, light fragrance. It is just enough to get you noticed from up close. As far as longevity goes, 6-8 hours++ of the bliss you get from wearing this fragrance is more than good enough. And I would rather smell great for 6-8 hours than smell ok all day.
