  allan27880, out of curiosity, which other two Roja scents have you tried? I love the ambergris note and was thinking of taking a risk on something with a powerful dose of it.

  If you’re hunting for a potent ambergris, try Dionisio by Tiziana Terenzi or Magnetic Blend 1 by Initio, especially the former. It’s a beast that clings to your skin until the next day; don’t trust the opening, wait and savour the dry-down. On the other hand, Elysium Parfum is a classic that doesn’t break any moulds but is impeccably crafted and will fill you with compliments. It’s an elegant, spring and summer citrus scent that is both cheerful and mature. It starts with citrus that lasts throughout the journey, accompanied by spices and florals, before settling into a base with that signature ambergris touch typical of Roja Dove. Everything is so well blended it’s hard to separate, but the truth is, it’s citrus. The longevity is top-notch, lasting between 8 and 10 hours with a projection that is noticeable yet not invasive; on the contrary, it’s very attractive. The price is the delicate matter with this brand; everyone puts their own price on their work, so I won’t judge. There are three versions: Eau de Parfum, Cologne Parfum (which replaces the previous one), and the Parfum, and I always stick with the Parfum, although the Cologne doesn’t lose as much of the original’s energy.

  If you want powerful ambergris notes, get samples of Dionisio by Tiziana Terenzi and Magnetic Blend 1 by Initio, especially the first one, which is more exaggerated, especially when you realise it clings to your skin even the next day and you have to rub it off. Don’t stick with the opening; wait a few hours and stay with the base. Moving on to Elysium, the Parfum is exactly as allan27880 said: a perfume that doesn’t break with anything, not innovative, but very well made and an atomic compliment generator. It’s an elegant, spring and summer citrus scent, cheerful and at the same time mature, masculine, and as mentioned before, very well made. It has a citrus opening that then persists throughout its development, becoming accompanied by spicy and floral notes of various types, and descending to that base where a hint of ambergris is detected, which is so characteristic of Roja Dove’s masculine line. As in almost all perfumes from this brand, everything is very well blended and it’s difficult to distinguish individual notes, but what is clear is that it’s a perfume with a predominant citrus character. Longevity is very good, between 8 and 10 hours depending on conditions, with projection for several hours, being perceived by the surroundings but not reaching the point of tiring or being invasive; in fact, it has the opposite effect: it’s very attractive. Finally, and no less important, is the price, a tricky matter when it comes to this brand. Everyone is free to put their own price on their work, so I won’t criticise it. There is an Eau de Parfum version and another of Cologne Parfum, which just replaces the previous one; of the three, I count on the Parfum and I always stick with the Parfum, although I have to say the Cologne doesn’t lose as much of the Parfum’s energy.

  Mr Dove showing once again his lack of originality. For me, this is clearly based on Aventus, not on Bleu as I have also read. It has one good thing: it remains stable throughout the hours. With 3 sprays it didn’t seem to project much, but the longevity was quite wide. It doesn’t dry down to cheap things, the core of the scent remains stable, being that core the DNA of Aventus with quite a bit of bergamot that gives a good load of acidity. As the hours pass, something seems to emerge that I would say is benzoin, giving a pleasant sweetness. I would also dare to say there is a little jasmine that adds sensuality to the whole. In the end, there is something like an animal vanilla that doesn’t seem to match much with the rest of the notes; it’s not that I dislike it, but in my opinion it dims it a bit. Regarding the price, we already know what Roja perfumes are in many cases: inspirations (with the implied lack of creativity) of high quality with a price destined for people or markets with almost rich purchasing power. Everyone can give it the value they consider. I, instead of 8€ per ml, could pay 2€ per ml with luck.

  Mr Dove showing his originality once again. For me, this is clearly based on Aventus, not Bleu as I’ve read. It has one good thing: it stays stable for hours and hours. With three sprays, it didn’t project much, but the longevity was extensive; it doesn’t dry out on cheap things but the core of the scent remains, that core being the Aventus DNA with plenty of bergamot and good acidity. Over time, the benzoin seems to emerge, giving a pleasant sweetness. There’s also a little jasmine that adds sensuality. In the end, there’s something like an animalic vanilla that doesn’t seem to match well with the rest; I don’t dislike it, but in my opinion, it detracts a bit. As for the price, we know what Roja’s Parfums are; high-quality inspirations with a price for the wealthy. Everyone is free to assign the value they consider appropriate. Instead of paying 8€ per ml, I could probably pay 2€ with luck.

  I could give a thousand technical details, but it wouldn’t do justice to what I feel. This is my wedding fragrance: citrus and fresh with a woody base that gives it maturity and great elegance; very attractive. Many compare it to Creed’s Aventus, but I disagree; they go down different paths, and Elysium is superior in quality. It’s also said to resemble Bleu de Chanel, but Elysium is what Bleu dreamed of being: denser, cleaner, more sophisticated, and with a revitalising sparkle. Bleu is a 25-year-old in ripped jeans with an air of ‘look at me’; Elysium is a 34-year-old in a tailored suit, shiny shoes, an open shirt, hand in pocket, relaxed and aware that he’s turning heads. They say it’s derivative and unadventurous… what makes a perfume good? Objectivity or subjectivity? Why call it easy? It smells good, yes, emphatically. It attracts attention and generates compliments. Does it stand out despite being in the same line? Yes, it emanates a quality above average. What are we looking for when using perfume? That we like it and that others like it. If you add to that the fact that almost no one wears it, you’ve solved the issue. Let’s stop calling it easy. The wheel has already been invented. Those wanting something different have houses like BeauFort London, but they’ll probably make people wrinkle their noses. Do I make myself clear? It’s a 5/5.

  I could give a thousand technical details, but it wouldn’t do justice to what I really like. It is the fragrance of the day of my wedding. It is citrusy and fresh, but with a slightly woody base that gives it a mature, elegant and extremely attractive tone. Many compare it to Creed’s Aventus, claiming they are almost clones, but I totally disagree. First, because they go down different paths, and second, because this one is far superior in overall quality. It is also commented that it resembles Bleu de Chanel. Yes, it can, but Elysium is what Bleu would wish to be in its best dreams: a work with much higher quality, denser, cleaner, more sophisticated, but with an intense and revitalising brightness. Bleu is a 25-year-old guy, well-dressed, with ripped jeans, brogues and an air of ‘look at me’. Elysium is a 34-year-old man, in a bespoke black suit, shiny shoes, open blazer, one hand in his pocket, the other holding a Martini and a good watch. Half-smile and relaxed, he doesn’t need to think about ‘look at me’, he already knows people are going to look. People often read things like it is derivative, repetitive, that it invents nothing new or doesn’t take risks. But what makes a perfume good? Is it judged from objectivity or subjectivity? Why is it said pejoratively that it is ‘easy’? Does Elysium smell good? A resounding YES. Does it catch attention? Yes, it starts compliments. Does it stand out despite following the same line? Yes, undoubtedly. It emits a quality far above average. What are we mainly looking for? That we like it and that others like it. If we add to that that almost no one wears it, we finish the matter. Let’s stop categorising a perfume pejoratively when it is said to be ‘easy’. The wheel has already been invented. Anyone wanting something ‘different’ has houses like BeauFort London, unless exceptions, it won’t please almost anyone, probably they will wrinkle their nose, but of course, you’ll be wearing a super special composition. I don’t know if I made myself clear. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  I will be very concise. This fragrance is accompanied by extreme snobbery: the scent is very good and generates compliments (in that regard it doesn’t beat countless designer perfumes that win by a landslide), but the price is ridiculously expensive, unjustifiable. I can understand that The Night (a composition I detest) has its value due to high-quality ingredients, but Elysium is an abuse with bestial commercial margins. I recommend purchasing it only if you are loaded. Otherwise, you have much more affordable options that will give you as many or more satisfactions for a fraction of the price.

  I’ll be very concise. This fragrance is accompanied by extreme snobbery, given that while the scent is very good and generates compliments (in that regard, it doesn’t beat countless designer perfumes, which win by a landslide), the price is ridiculously, extremely expensive and unjustifiable. I can understand that The Night (a composition I detest) has its value, seeing as the ingredients are of the highest quality that exists. But Elysium is directly an abuse with a beastly commercial margin, disproportionately so. I recommend its acquisition only if you are loaded. Otherwise, you have much more affordable options that will provide you with as many or more satisfactions for a fraction of the price.

  I would add a nuance to your comment: Of course, there are many niche houses with inflated prices, that’s agreed. But we must filter out the expensive from the outrageously expensive. While Tygar from the private line of Bvlgari is affordable, it costs 50% less than Elysium and gives us 100% more product. Among the expensive perfumes on the market, the subject of this article is the one that wins the medal for abuse regarding what it offers. As for the compliments (not regarding ingredient quality), I don’t think I’m reinventing the wheel by saying that Paco Rabanne or Armani give it a run for its money in terms of popular taste. It may seem subjective, but try it and tell us. In summary, yes, Elysium is generally liked, but let’s not laugh at people, which is what Roja does. From my humble point of view, greetings.

  UPDATE: I’ve been with this perfume for a long time. It is well known that its price is disproportionate, abusive and absurd; that won’t change unless Mr Roja Dove gets a shock. But regarding performance, I must clarify something. Whether due to maceration, hydrated skin, or because the constellation of Orion was in harmony with Cassiopeia, yesterday with the heat I used it again. I applied it around 11 AM and at 21:00 I could still smell it as a skin scent. Nothing more and nothing less than 10 hours, when usually I get about 8 (which were already very good). I think one can criticise its price, I do, it’s no wonder, but it proves that performance is very good. Added to this huge and delicious scent, it makes me hurt even more that price which borders on insult.

  Elysium EDP never existed. They simply released the first version as Parfum Cologne and then the Parfum. Look for any photo of the EDP and you’ll see it doesn’t exist.

  I didn’t mean to correct you, but I’m deleting the messages to put an end to this. My apologies if you felt upset.

  One of the best fresh scents I’ve tried. It has massive appeal and oozes elegance and quality. It’s one of the most wearable Roja fragrances I’ve tried, extremely versatile; literally anyone could wear it (perhaps not teenagers, because the vetiver might seem too mature for them). In my opinion, it doesn’t lean towards an older man as other Roja creations tend to do. If I get rich or have plenty of money to spare, I’ll grab a full bottle. Roja, please, send me one.

  Good heavens! I didn’t want to speak so badly of this fragrance. But to be brutally honest, the only thing heavy about it is the price and the bottle. As for longevity, it only lasted from the factory to the shop and from the shop to my home. It’s a real tragedy that with such a price, its longevity and projection are somewhat shameful. I applied it at 07:00 and by 11:30/12:00 I could barely smell it; about 4 hours, very close to the skin. Obviously, it lasts a bit longer on clothes, but just a bit more. All because I listened to corrupt barbers and YouTubers who speak wonders of these fragrances. This is where you realise the ambition and greed of the industry; all they sell you is the brand, the seal, the luxury of the box and the bottle with its details, a bit of coloured liquid with a scent, and that’s it. All thanks to people getting hooked because they saw a video of some paid, sponsored character, almost holding a philosophy book in one hand, reciting poems about something absurdly overvalued. That said, it’s a 10/10 aroma because it’s rich. But that’s it. This is just a lesson learned: one, buying blindly; two, getting excited by fake scores and comments; and three, by stupidity. Now there’s no way to return it. What a pity. Goodbye to Roja. But well… let’s go look for an Arabic dupe; those really don’t disappoint, and let’s hope they don’t inflate prices. In my experience, every monkey to its own jungle. Greetings!!

  Oh dear! I didn’t want to be so harsh, but to be brutally honest: the only downsides are the price and the bottle. The longevity was ridiculous; it barely lasted the trip from the factory to home. I applied it at 7 AM and by 12 noon I could barely smell it; about four hours as a skin scent. Obviously, it lingers on clothes for a bit, but that’s it. I’m disappointed that with this price, the projection is shameful. It’s all about following corrupt YouTubers who speak wonders of these fragrances. Here you see the industry’s ambition: they sell you a brand, luxury packaging and bottle, a little coloured liquid, and that’s it. All because people get hooked on videos of paid influencers talking about absurdly overpriced things. The scent is 10/10, rich, but that’s all. It’s a lesson in buying blindly and getting your hopes up with fake ratings. Now, no way to return it. What a pity. Goodbye Roja. Let’s look for an Arabic dupe; those ones truly don’t disappoint. Everyone to their own jungle.

  I only tested two sprays and it lasted 6–7 hours, but the projection was weak: strong at first, then nothing but a skin scent. The smell is exquisite, flawless, but the longevity and ridiculously high price (300 USD for 50ml here) have led me to look at alternatives like Divin Asylum or Philos Pura, which is an inspiration by Xerjoff with an incredible bergamot note and costs a thirtieth of the price.
