Elysium Pour Homme Parfum

Okay this stuff is insane. I know it's a bummer that more people can't afford it, but it does go on sale at like 220-240 fairly often in at least a couple of places, so it's not totally out of reach for the common dude. If you're the kind of practical person who isn't rich, and you're happy with just a handful of fragrances that you know you love and don't blow a lot of money on tons of others, you could have this stuff handy for special occasions, or just wear it daily and don't spray super heavily and you shouldn't lose a wink of sleep knowing you have probably the best chypre fragrance out there to fill that niche. To me, it smells identical to elysium cologne in its actual formula, the only differences in the experience coming from the very obvious increase in concentration. I will need to test it more, but to me it smells fairly linear throughout most of its drydown, and can be most simply described as an incredibly high quality, extremely citrus-forward and bright chypre (yes like aventus). It has plenty of complexity hidden in it, but in short, it smells like a million bucks and really exudes sophistication and self awareness in its very impressive balance and obviously premium grade ingredients. I will revisit this soon and expand, but for the lay person, if you have an interest in things like aventus or the club de nuit intense man line etc., you should go ahead and sample this. Buying this at a relative bargain and skipping the testing of an endless array of clone houses like I have may end up saving you money in the long run. AFTER BOUT A DAY: I've had the parfum cologne for a couple extra weeks, and I'd sampled it a few times in years past, but I had the feeling that this stuff has a familiar vibe outside the usual Aventus comparisons, and I just got it! It reminds me a lot of YSL L'homme, which is amazing. The combination of maybe apple and the floral parts may be what does it for me. The best way I can describe it is if you took L'Homme, brightened it way up with tart top-quality citrus, and just made everything fresher and higher quality so it smells less like it is going spoiled. Not to speak badly of L'homme, but I'm sure many of you know what I mean when a fragrance just smells more fresh in the ripe, freshly picked sense because of higher quality ingredients. This juice is just on another level. I can understand why it is so expensive. I might like this stuff a little extra because YSL L'homme is one of the first fragrances I bought when I really got into the hobby, so it has a special place in my memory, but I still think this follows in that DNA to some extent, and it is an exquisite take on a magnificent DNA. One more thing just cuz this stuff cost some coin and freshies like this can suck on some skin. Don't forget to try lotion or some kind of moisturizer in areas where you spray. It might help overall performance a lot.

Today I finally had the pleasure of testing out a select few products in the Roja line, and Elysium was one of them. To be quite honest, I am almost at a loss for words regarding this scent. It is, hands down, one of the highest quality scents that I have ever smelled. You can tell immediately that the ingredients used to make Elysium are second to none. The beginning notes, as mentioned by many before, are like a blast of citrus. Both my boyfriend and I picked up the grapefruit immediately, but the grapefruit is really rounded out by the lemon and galbanum so it does not come off as tart or sour. I can see why some people think the opening notes are similar to Aventus, however, this scent has a completely unique scent profile. It is not saccharine like Aventus is, but definitely has a bright, masculine sweetness. I do not think it resembles Blue de Chanel whatsoever. The next notes that were descernable (to my nose at least) were the apple, rose, and jasmine. However, the peppercorn seems to make these pop and really does add some depth and subtle spice to the heart. I cannot personally pick out the lily of the valley. In the base, the labdanum and ambergris really shine. I’d say the main player is the ambergris, though. The other scents in the base seem to compliment this duo, rather than take center stage themselves. Now that I’ve talked about my olfactory experience, I’d also like to revisit the quality. Firstly, when this is sprayed on the skin you can actually see small oil particles shimmering in the light, a clear indicator that this is parfum grade. Secondly, it is crystal clear that the oils themselves are top quality, but describing this is difficult. You can simply just tell they are better than others, but one must experience that themselves. All in all, I can honestly say that this is one of the best scents that I have ever come across. I know some people have said it has “mass appeal,” and hate on it for not being incredibly groundbreaking. However, I don’t expect my colognes to revolutionize the industry or possess some unique aspect that’s never been done before - I expect my colognes to smell GOOD. This scent is more than just good though, it is truly fantastic. I will be purchasing a full bottle, even at retail price, because this has become one of my top 2 favorites of all time.

Elysium turned out to be a less complex perfume than I thought. The perfume opens with a basket full of various citrus fruits. It is easier to detect the absent citrus notes, such as verbena and orange, in addition to a less intense existing green lime. Lemon, bergamot and especially an aromatic bitter grapefruit, are quite present, ensuring a very charming freshness. It's one of the best citrus openings I have ever experienced. The heart is floral and fruity and some sweetness is added to the blending. In my opinion, the middle notes serve more the purpose of making a connection between the front soldiers (the citrus notes) and the woodier rear troops. The bottom is quite complex, although not an example of strength and efficiency. Cedar and juniper blend well with the stronger ambergris. Some hints of benzoin, amber, leather and musk, create a base for a woody, balsamic and somewhat sweet and animalistic dry down. The fresh side of the fragrance top is stronger than the woody bottom, and the effect is achieved without any aggressive or synthetic facets. We are clearly in the presence of high-quality ingredients, guaranteeing a memory imprint of a very pleasant citrus fragrance - one of the best - but with a more common dry-down. Performance is above average for a fresh scent, but I would classify the scent globally as a "medium" performer with noble longevity for up to 8 to 9 hours, but with a more plebeian sillage of fewer than five feet, and a couple of hours projection (with three sprays on the back of my hand). In my closet, labelled as a citrus fragrance, I would store it near the "parking place" of Boucheron pour Homme. Are they similar? It is not really the case of having similar accords, but there is a certain "familiarity" between the two perfumes, with the more aggressive Boucheron and the softer and soothing Elysium. A commentary on its much-publicised resemblance to CreedAventus... I found no resemblance at all! Can it be considered a masterpiece? I would answer with an easy YES but always mention that the price tag is by far above its real value. My Opinion: One of the best Citrus scents available but for a price. Recommended? No! Do try it before you buy it if you want to risk paying such a high amount for a citrus fragrance. Music: Gladiator Soundtrack "Elysium"

Review: Elysium Pour Homme Parfum – The Most Charming Man Alive (In a Bottle) Let’s get one thing straight: Elysium Parfum isn’t just a fragrance—it’s an aspiration. This is the smell of winning, but not the loud, obnoxious kind. Oh no. This is the quiet, confident “owns four businesses and still has time for Pilates” kind of winning. From the very first spray, this thing is luxury on ice. You’re hit with a cocktail of citrus—grapefruit, lemon, bergamot, lime—basically the Avengers of freshness. It’s crisp, juicy, and so clean it could star in a soap commercial narrated by David Attenborough. Then it smooths into the heart like a silk pocket square. There’s a hint of fruity sweetness, herbaceous green notes, and a touch of vetiver and woods that says: “Yes, I moisturize. Yes, I invest in mutual funds.” It’s refined, breezy, and somehow both powerful and effortlessly relaxed. Elysium isn’t loud. It’s magnetic. You know those guys who walk in and people naturally gravitate toward them without knowing why? That’s Elysium. It doesn’t try—it just is. It’s the olfactory equivalent of a Range Rover parked perfectly within the lines. Let’s talk performance: Longevity? 6–8 hours depending on your skin and how much you spray. It’s more of a “sunset yacht party” than an “all-night rave,” but you’ll still be getting whiffs well into the evening. Projection? Moderate, classy. People will notice—but they’ll lean in to ask, not run away gasping. Mass Appeal? Through. The. Roof. Compliments rain from the heavens. Baristas, coworkers, your friend’s mom—it doesn’t matter. They all want to know what you’re wearing. Scent profile? Citrus-aromatic perfection with a clean, sophisticated base that smells like success and good decisions. Final Verdict: Longevity: 7.5/10 (a gentleman never overstays his welcome) Scent: 9.5/10 (peak fresh sophistication—top shelf only) Mass Appeal: 10/10 (if charm had a smell, this would be it) Projection: 8/10 (makes its presence known... then buys you dinner) Smells like: James Bond on holiday with Elon Musk’s credit score.

Ahhhh Elysium, Elysium, Elysium...I've enjoyed Elysium Parfum Cologne for the last few years and never had the urge to get Elysium Parfum. Well, I did. Here is my experience so far.... Elysium in general is an interesting one to me. It's so enlivening, charismatic, captivating and fresh, but oh so boring at the same time. I kick myself for saying that because it's in my top 5 fragrances that I enjoy wearing. It smells so damn good, but it's so damn....humdrum? I honestly don't get it, so don't ask! Quite frankly, I think it's because of the abundance of homogeneous impressions of other houses/brands that have that gives my olfactory receptors the same emotions over and over again. In todays world, it seems there's way too many fragrances that try to win the same category, thus creating a foolish amount of monotonous fragrances. Unfortunately, I think Elysium falls into this category of "popular" fragrances thus giving it a familiar DNA making this fragrance "typical." HOWEVER, the quality is, of course, on another level. I love it because I haven't smelled a juice assembled around fruits of this caliber. Sorry for the rambling, but now onto the Elysium Parfum edition....This Parfum edition is merely 95% of the Parfum Cologne edition based on smell alone. The Parfum Cologne is slightly more sour. The Parfum is slightly more woody. The resemblance is uncanny minus the 5%. I cannot comment on performance, but my question is, does that 5% alteration substantiate the near $200 price increase for HALF the juice?! Hmmmm, I don't know honestly. Regardless, I love the Elysium infrastructure. I wouldn't exactly say it's unique, but it's of admirable quality. The scent trail and dry down is also noteworthy and possibly the highlight of this fragrance.

First, let me preface this by saying I wouldn’t buy this at full price. That said... I love this stuff. It does have sort of a crowd-pleasing designer vibe going, it does remind me a bit of a cross between Aventus and BDC, but more natural and sophisticated. Initially, I get a lot of citrus and cedar, as it dries you start get the ambergris and juniper. On my skin, it begins to morph into something that kind of resembles raspberry a couple hours in. This is definitely the most wearable Roja fragrance, and perfect for summer. It’s fresh, it’s clean, a little woody, not too sweet, and something no one would ever dislike. The main advantage Elysium has over scents like BDC is performance. Elysium lasts. I can still smell it the next morning a lot of the time. Projects quite well also. This is kind of a big deal considering how comparable scents tend to have a reputation for struggling in the performance department. If you like BDC but wish it lasted longer than 2 hours, give Elysium Parfum a go. Now, the big question: is it worth the money? At full retail price, I would say probably not. I managed to snag a bottle on a discount site for about half retail and was very happy with that purchase. I don’t think I could bring myself to pay full Roja prices for something that isn’t particularly unique, though. It’s a very good scent, special in its own way, and if it were 150.00-200.00, I’d say everyone should run out and buy it, but it’s just not 450.00 good, in my opinion. Value is relative though, so if you can afford to throw the money around, sure, go for it. Overall, I’d say 8/10 just because of the price point. Fantastic fragrance, would be a 9 or a 10 if it were a bit cheaper, but in cases like this, the price has to factor in.

Wow! Elysium PPH is basically a more refined and robust version of the PC version. Longevity is above average (7-8 hours), projection is good (needs heat to really shine), but the sillage is not as good as the PC but still acceptable. Less harsh opening, more florals in this version, less fruitiness, but the same amount of juniper berries & more ambergris. I can see a lady pulling this scent off. To be honest, it doesn't scream heavily masculine, just leans towards males more. Very bright, citrus based fragrance with some aromatic green-ness, slight sweetness, fruitiness and a slightly animalic/musky feel from the ambergris & musk. This has more depth too compared to the PC because this has more florals & benzoin; it's more complex and really smooth. This is probably the only fougere scent I will ever wear in my life. I think people have to stop complaining about the performance of this fragrance, and other FRESH fragrances too which utilize a lot of citruses & aromatics, because this is just the nature of such a scent profile. A citrus based fragrance will always last shorter compared to an oud based fragrance. Even though body chemistry & environment affect performance, just think about the fragrance itself first. Buy PPH only on a discount/offer, though, despite what a great freshie it is. I can't justify spending $747 SGD retail on this. Splurge on this for better refinement & better performance. Buy the PC version if you aren't willing to splurge or don't have a picky nose lol. Both PPH & PC are amazing but I will always choose the PPH extrait. 10/10 (btw the notes listed here aren't even accurate according to the actual Roja website so the accord breakdown is abit misleading as well)

This is clearly Roja’s take on the blue category. There is a resemblance to Bleu De Chanel Parfum. Elysium opens up with sparkling citrus sitting on blonde woods. I get a creamy sandalwood, which is not listed here. The ambroxan and musk play in the background. Deep in the dry down everything gets a lot smoother and woodier. This is not an overly sparkling or refreshing citrus high heat bomb cologne type scent. This is seriously smooth stuff. Think an urban setting where it’s warm but not unbearable. Or a luxury resort in the late afternoon or early in the evening when the sun is starting to set. Now comes the awkward part. Roja is a divisive niche brand, mainly due to the price points. This is an incredibly well blended, natural smelling scent. It smells luxurious and like you’ve paid serious money for it. People I know around me describe it as one of the nicest smells ever. This is so appealing that I can’t imagine anyone not liking this. If they do they are probably salty over the price. You can look around and find good deal on this, I managed to get the special edition 100ml for a little less than 50ml at rrp. And I’m ok with that, because it is probably the most luxury smelling summer scent out there. Performance on my skin is better than the cologne and average compared to other scents in this category. If you like the blue style but don’t want to smell basic or like everyone else, this is the one for you.

The Elysium Pour Homme Parfum is a masterful fragrance crafted by the renowned perfumer Roja Dove. The bottle stands out with a luxurious design, blending a brilliant gold finish with black crystal accents, reflecting the high quality and uniqueness of the scent. This is a highly pure and distinctive fragrance, not suited for everyone due to its bold character and rarity of imitation, making it an ideal signature scent that expresses personal identity. The fragrance features a stunning progression of notes, being the deepest within the Elysium series. It opens with a refreshing blend of citrus fruits like grapefruit and lemon, complemented by artemisia and galbanum, which add a rich green touch. The heart unfolds with apple, lily of the valley, pink pepper, jasmine, and rose, creating an elegant balance of freshness and warmth. The base shines with ambergris, musk, leather, benzoin, labdanum, and vanilla, offering a warm and lasting depth. The fragrance delivers above-average performance with an impressive composition that highlights the purity and precision of its ingredients. However, its only drawback is the high price (approximately $250 for a 50 ml bottle) and limited availability in markets, making it preferable to purchase through the official Roja Parfums website. It is one of my personal favorite fragrances, embodying the pinnacle of masculinity and olfactory creativity from my perspective.

This is a very refined, people-pleasing fragrance. Juicy and citrusy in the opening and sweet vetiver dominant in the drydown. First I bought 10ml samples of Hacivat, Orion, Elysium Parfum Cologne and Elysium Parfum. I've used them for more than 6 months on various occasions. Hacivat is great on its own but Orion is the next class when it comes to quality. But Elysium Parfum is the next class compared to Orion. You can really smell the quality in this one. The Cologne version is more citrussy and less lasting but better for the summer. Parfum is heavier with less zesty citruss and just right for the winter, autumn and spring. Because I find the Cologne version opening too citrussy and attention-grabbing. But Parfum's opening is balanced perfectly. I ordered a full bottle. This is when you want to smell nice when you get close to people. A girl that I don't know too well asked me what perfume it was the other day. Said it smelled great. I spray under the shirt and it still can be felt.

Why buy ten dupes when you can save up and get this one for like $230 on sale. So beautiful so fresh so clean. This thing is the definition of Luxury so be careful spraying this because people are gonna ask for loans cause they think you’re rich. The most realistic citrus scent I’ve ever smelled. It has a green under tone that reaches something deep in my brain. The grapefruit is there from beginning to end and you get that nostalgic smell of when you first bite into a crisp apple. There’s also something metallic about this that can’t really be explained. Get a sample because it’s expensive and not the scent you blind buy, but one that you fall in love with and grow more in love with it as the days go by. Long lasting and signature scent worthy. Out of the 40 plus fragrances I own this has gotten me the most compliments from women. My second favorite fragrance of all time and the most deserving of the masterpiece stamp. 10/10

The best summer scent? Not sure there are so many beautiful scents.. but this one is a easy grab and easy to love. Masculinity yes, fresh yes, luxury yes and above all quality yes. Is it similar to the PC version? Oh yes.. it’s just the opening and mid which is intenser and deeper. The lemon here is not a fresh iced lemon as in the pc but a pure lemon oil. The vetiver in here is much more prominent and what you get in the first hours is lemon oil with vetiver and some amber notes? Well it’s good and luxury. PC is easier to wear and this one im using for the more special occasions, although most people won’t smell the difference in the air.. specially after 2/3 hours it becomes a skin scent which is exact the same as the PC. Some days it stay for 6/8 hours some days 3/4 hours maximum.. so I can’t make a statement on the performance but the quality in here is top notch. It’s PC but a more refined and qualitative version.

I bought this last week, and I’ve been wearing it everyday. It’s so strong in performance on my skin, lasts all day. I probably shouldn’t be wearing it everyday but I can’t stop, it’s almost addicting. Spraying only TWICE in the morning and I can still smell it on me at night. For the longest time my signature scent was Bleu de Chanel (I know, boring, but I love fresh scents) Elysium is replacing that. Seems pretty versatile to me. Not sure how it’s going to perform in colder seasons, we’ll see. Price is the only drawback here, I even had to pay customs fees 😡 honestly worth it if you love fresh scents. There are affordable and similar scents available to Elysium, but if you can afford this I highly recommend you to get a decant first before spending your next mortgage payment on a fragrance bottle. Scent: 10/10 Silage: 10/10 Longevity: 10/10 Price: 3/10 Overall: 8/10

Elysium is some pretty great juice. It's very bright, citrusy, fruity and also very woody as well. It's so so smooth, it's not beast mode on skin at all, but you will still smell it on your sweater or t-shirt the next day and it will still smell in so good. I definitely do think it's over priced but it does smell of very high quality and very refined and well blended. Because of how expensive it is and only a 50ml bottle I only use it for special occasions or a hot date(if I ever get one). Sometimeni spray it on at home just to smell it though but rarely unfortunately, I wish I could spray this without a care in the world but i just cant afford to do that. If you have the money I would say this is a must have freshy. If you dont have the money, the parfum cologne is s good options but the performance lacks.

The citrus and fruity musk opening does remind me of Aventus a little, I guess. However, I do not really see this as Aventus-like fragrance and warn you, blind buyers: don't! Don't assume this is just an Aventus clone, it is not!!! After Aventus like opening, the fragrance goes into traditional fougere territory and pretty much stays there. I would say, quality wise, this is same or better than Aventus. Longevity is better than Aventus. Projection is very soft for this type of scent (Roger Dove likes it to be personal scents, discovered not announced,so it is by design). I find this more suitable for 40+ crowd. This a scent for a man who achieved all he wanted in life and does not want to prove anything to anyone :) Great scent, test it on skin before buying!

It's lovely, it really is BUT we need to address the elephant in the room... in the air the smells very mainstream, its supposed to. Its a very luxurious take on a mass appealing fragrance but that means it comes across like a designer scent. In a saturated market of ambroxbombs its a large price to pay to be indistinguishable from anyone else. If money is no object then absolutely have it very much for yourself but if you're chasing the effect you think it may have? You can get that from plenty of other places. I'll get a full bottle if I win the lottery but I'll otherwise cope without. If you're gonna splurge and it's a one off for you, I'd recommend checking out the rest of Roja's collection first.

I agree that the this removes some of the rough edges from the PC, the citrus opening is less harsh and the base notes in particular are more prominent. It trades projection for better longevity. But the difference between these two fragrances are much more minimal than the enormous upscale in price seems to suggest. In short, I would also rate this as the best version of Elysium but would strongly recommend waiting for a bargain on the grey market. It’s otherwise not worth the 3-4x increase in cost per ml over the Parfum Cologne. But value considerations aside, this is a fantastic scent that really shines during warm summer days.

Honestly to me, this fragrance has one of the best openings of all time. It’s addictive and makes you want to keep chasing it. Don’t get me wrong, the price is crazy high, but if you can get it for even $250 I’d say that’s a great deal. It’s welllll worth that. I can’t imagine anyone saying this doesn’t smell really really good. You can get all the super in depth, sometimes pompous reviews from a ton of people on here as that seems what this place is like now. I will just keep it simple. It’s a great scent. Amazing citrus opening with a little galbanum. Little white floral and apple in the middle and a nice woody dry down.

I absolutely love how this smells however, I don’t love the performance/longevity of this one. I got this one as my first introduction into the line of Elysium flankers and was blown away by how incredible the scent was from opening to dry down but the performance is terrible. I was told this is the “beast mode” of the line up and whoever told me that, I hope you never get a cool side of the pillow at night. This one comes off strong for maybe the first hour and then after that it’s a skin scent at best, after 4-5 hours I can’t smell it on clothes or skin. For the price of this, that’s a big bummer.

This is for everyone who can't decide whether to get the Parfum or the Parfum Cologne. Yes, the Parfum lasts longer, but it opens as a totally different fragrance than the Parfum Cologne. It has a very sweet opening, and only once it opens up it starts smelling exactly like the Parfum Cologne. This makes the fragrance last longer, but you will not get the fizzy Parfum Cologne in the first 30 minutes, but rather something dark and sweet. I have them both now, and I will probably keep them both.

Mixed feelings about Roja Dove as a brand, and person; however, gotta give credit where it is due. Regarding the scent, forget the parfum cologne and seek (sample) this out. This is a hyper versatile, yet full-bodied fragrance. It reminds me of the BDC formula: citrus sitting on top of woods, ambroxan, and musks. Instead, it's a little bit more green, and sharper citruses dance with the base notes. Big fan. At full retail this is not worth it, imo. Testers and partials are a smarter play.

I was able to sample this and oh my God, this is like a polished and dressed up Creed Aventus. My wife was in the car and said "that smells like Aventus." I asked her if she could tell them apart in the air. She said she could not. She also stated that it is maybe 95% the same, perhaps even 100%. I think this is what Roja Dove was going for and honestly that's not a bad thing. I'll add that the other 5% is akin to Versace Man Eau Fraiche. Projection: 9/10 Longevity: 9/10 Scent: 10/10

Of my faded memory of the Cologne version, among the first batch of niche fragrances I ever sampled many moons ago, this is a slightly warmer take. A fresh aromatic-herbal scent lifted by a melange of fresh citruses, other fruits, and florals but with more immediately prominent base notes. The faintly resinous vanilla is apparent upfront, with a soft leather and woody-earthy undertones quickly following behind. Moderately strong initial projection fades over 3-4hr, longevity 10-12hr.

This was the fragrance that got me into Roja Parfums, and i can not see myself going without a bottle in my collection, it’s the perfect staple! This fragrance is not loud and obnoxious, but it definitely projects and lasts for hours on my skin. In Roja fashion this fragrance is effortlessly elegant and regal, comes across very green like the smell of uncirculated fresh cut old money. Ultimately this is a safe fragrance. If you want to smell discreetly rich, this is a safe bet

I managed to pick this up off jomashop for $275. Absolute stunner of a fragrance. A lot going on in the note breakdown. Very hard to decipher the different notes. To my nose it smells like a bright citrus fragrance, very masculine. I knew I had to pick this one up from the second. I smelled it in neimans. I will come back and write a more in-depth review once I spend more time with it, but as of right now, this is an absolute banger.

When I first got into niche fragrance I got a sample of this and thought it smelled like a dog who got out of pool filled with citrus fruits. Over time my palate has changed, I absolutely love this fragrance. Especially the musk and vanilla in the base. This is great for the office, brunch date with your significant other, and even a night in with them as well! Love this scent, definitely try a sample before you spend the big bucks

Wow, ashamed i waited so long to try this bottle of heavenly juice. I can't put my finger on it... not saying it compares to Aventus (cause it's 10000000000x better) but it's like a very wealthy man's Aventus? STRANGE! But i get a lot of similar qualities in the two but in terms of quality, this is far above anything in this class of fragrances... crowd pleaser, safe, citrusy, ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! GET THIS!

I like how fresh this is. I tend to get excited with the opening. The drydown, not so much... but that said, it's not disappointing. It still smells good and it's very smooth. I guess I just want it to have more oomph. I've tried layering it with Isola Blue or Oceania and it works - just gives it some kick. Not sure how advisable the layering thing is, though, considering how steep the price is.

This is fresh and clean but also rich and subtle. It's something I think would go well with the best, most luxurious, most understated casual attire. The best casual shirt made with the best possible materials, tailored to perfection, without any logos or screaming patterns, one that you can tell from the rest not because of the branding, but because it just looks and feels right.

This is extremely expensive, and extremely difficult to dislike despite needing a second mortgage to purchase. A clean, fresh, masculine scent that is impossible to upset anyone with. I prefer this over the cologne as it gets into the sensational dry-down a bit quicker, and the performance is faultless. There aren't many fresh scents I enjoy but the hype around Elysium is real.

I pulled my last review where I said it was ok but not more. I have worn it a bit more and compared it to Cedrat Boise and Aventus and I am starting to really love Elysium. It's a bit softer and brighter than those two and just a very pleasant fragrance. It's very well blended. Elysium might become a favorite of mine rather quickly, even though it's winter.

This Parfum version smells better and smoother than the Parfum Cologne version. Most importantly, it lasts considerably longer than the Parfum Cologne. If you are considering buying Elysium. Go for this version rather than the blue bottle Parfum Cologne. This one is worth every penny while the other one is so overrated.

I finally bought this one. Should have saved the money. It does linger for hours as a skin scent but it is not stronger better smelling or with more sillage or projection than the original. I go partially nose blind to it. I should have just continued with my pour homme cologne and Zion by Alexandria fragrance.

The scent is very nice and as mentioned by a million others, certain facets are reminiscent of both BDC and Aventus, but yet it's different in its own right. It's bright, citrusy, fruity, and woody. The only drawback here is the performance. It lasts 5-8 hrs, but the projection on my skin is very very soft.

This could be the king of blue fragrances. It just has everything one could wish for in a blue scent, depth, freshness, showery feeling, masculinity and it is long lasting. The PC would do the job for most people, being a 50ml bottle also, the pricing is crazy. Signature scent!!!

One of best opening. Citrus scent with grapefruit and lemon is best first kick i've ever had. Dry down also so good. 100% daily fragrance. When this fragrance listed up on Jomashop for $220-$250, that would be a good choice to buy it.

Just received my sample today. This is going to be my new scent, perfect.... 5 mins after spray and can definitely pick up a black currant in there. Just wait to see how it dries down. Definitely going to buy a full bottle

Opening is citrus and slightly floral while being on the heavier side of summer fragrances. The drydown remains citrusy, but becomes powdery, woody, and kind of creamy almost. I get close to 6 hours wearing it. I love it.

I wish people would review the smell and not the price point on perfumes. Can’t stand people who can’t afford it and so rate it bad because of that, even if they like the smell. REVIEW THE SCENT. Humans are weird folk

Wow this is nice. It's perhaps the best fresh citrus fragrance I have. It is very pleasing and not annoying like other citrus fragrances, and it has depth to it and a little smokiness. It's a 10/10.

The smell of a dreamy perfume. Undoubtedly, it can be worn in summer and spring during the hot daytime hours as well as in the evening hours. I really liked it, a strong perfume. 9/10.

I smelled the Cologne version and it was love at first sniff. I didn’t love it’s longevity though. This version has solved the problem. What an absolute gem to my collection!!

Nice smooth and clean man scent. Fragrance is very subjective this is just my thoughts on this particular one. True it could perform better to me at the price point though.

What Bleu de Chanel dreams to be. A clone? Possibly. But I don't care... this one has the extra "sparkle" that transforms a fragrance into a dream. Stunning! Summer, 25+

One of the most upclass masculine fresh scents i own. Anyone complaining about it never really owned it, probably just took a test strip.

save yourself some money and get aventus cologne. Elysium parfum does smell better, but i'd rather spend money on something more unique.

one of the best fragrances I've ever smelled. Used it for special occasions with great memories. Will be purchasing a full bottle 10/10

Starting is the most beautiful smell of i have ever seen. First top notes are 10/10. Then it turns onto Elysium Eau intense.

This one lasts longer but the Parfum Cologne smells a bit better,more vibrant and the added vetiver is a plus.

grapefruit and vetiver, love this one, and usually id say perfume has no gender but this one is very masculine
