Fashion ROJA Elysium Eau Intense

Elysium Eau Intense is an aromatic, fresh, citrus scent created for Men and Women in 2023 by perfumer Roja Dove.

Review

This scent is fresh, crisp, and clean. Rhubarb adds a sparkling quality that really makes the citrus notes pop, and adds a deepness to the composition. It feels stronger and more bold, while maintaining the familiar and iconic style of the original. It can be worn any time or place, for any occasion, and in any weather or season. It is different, but still similar to the original, and has been compared to Bleu de Chanel.

Inspiration

Elysium Eau Intense is a more intense version of the original Elysium Pour Homme Eau de Parfum, with increased freshness. You are transported to a paradise of crystal waters and cloudless skies found within the Elysian Fields.

Notes

Bright citruses of Lemon, Grapefruit, and Lime blend with the fruity essences of Apple and Blackcurrant, and are made brighter and stronger with the addition of Rhubarb.  Lavender, Thyme, and Artemisia combine with a floral heart to create a gentle earthy nuance as Vetiver and Violet leaf join Juniper Berry, creating that iconic Fougere thread. Cedarwood and Dry Woods blend with the resinous tone of Galbanum, and the spiciness of Black Pepper, adding depth to the lightness of this scent, while Vanilla and Benzoin keep the sweetness above thriving. Labdanum, Leather, Ambergris, and Musk bring a gentle warmth that never overpowers the lighter notes above.
