From the brand - "Elysium - few have the ability to make that dream a reality. Only the heroic and virtuous are destined to achieve the life they desire, so each ingredient within this scent was chosen to emulate this rare strength of character. Legends of perfumery combine within this elixir of pure valiance - A scent created for a man who needs no help in reaching his Elysium, his paradise."
From the perfumer - “The kind of fragrance which draws the world to its charm, Elysium exudes the perfect balance of easy-going brightness with sophisticated strength of character. This instantly-loveable creation opens with a prominent freshness that lasts all day, as a bright burst of Citrus and Herb notes are further lifted by an innovative Musk top note that adds weightlessness. A juicy splash of Apple, Blackcurrant and Juniper Berry continue this vibrant personality, which dries down into a base of extreme depth and masculinity. An icon in the world of male perfumery - Pink Pepper - resonates throughout, whilst a dominant Cedarwood note transforms the entirety into a notably fresh, Woody Citrus scent, which has touches of sensuality deep in the base to lend a seductive masculinity.” - ROJA DOVE.
Fragrantica - "What an amazing fragrance. The opening is citrus and unique. As it drys down, the creamy vetiver starts to appear. It still has a nice woody feel to it. It’s one of the best blue fragrances I’ve ever smelt. The blending is superb. I have no issues with longevity. It lasts on my clothes for a good 10 hours. Signature scent worthy."
Fragrantica - "Super versatile - can be worn to any occasion, by any age, all year round. Always seems to be well received; I've had many people tell me how good it smells and men often ask what it is so they can get it for themselves (until they see the price lol) I appreciate it's not cheap, but the quality of the ingredients is obvious as soon as you smell it. I think the price is reasonable when you compare to other niche fragrances. I would rate this a 9.5 out of 10. Truly a masterpiece in my opinion!"
Fragrantica - "This is my favorite citrus fragrance of all time, no question about it in my mind. The most realistic, wonderful, sparkly and perfectly fresh fragrance I have ever smelled. The juice itself is easily in my top 3. The only negatives this fragrance has are low projection and sillage. You can always negate that by overspraying, and Roja Dove's atomizers already force you to overspray due to the way they spread the fragrance. Suits all occasions in the warm and sizzling hot days. Gym, date, office, beach parties... You name it. Elysium has got your back."
Fragrantica - "There are only a few fragrances that, if I see a fantastic deal, I’ll grab it even if I don’t need it. Elysium by Roja Parfums, and African Rooibos by Chris Collins. Hip Hop by Zernell Gillie is another I always keep a back up of, but I’ve never seen any deals on it. Anyway, to me Elysium is still incredible. I’ve had it virtually from its release and it just puts me in a great mood when I wear it. "
Fragrantica - "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."
Fragrantica - "This is a modern aromatic fougere that is truly intoxicating. A soft but sparkling citrus blend opens into an herbal aroma. Vetiver smoothed by a touch of fruity and floral notes . Woody and earthy aromatic drydown of remarkable complexity and airiness. As has previously been noted it is a difficult scent to characterise as the many notes meld and overlap. It is very well blended. This bears no resemblance in terms of quality and beauty to the watered down designer Blue fragrances or dupes it has been compared to. Elysium or its flankers are a must to sample for anyone seriously interested in fragrance."
