Decanted Sample of Elysium by Roja Parfums

It smells very natural. Not perfumy.  You get citrus, vetiver and creamy woods - in that order. Transitioning between the opening and the mid I got mild moldy smell but it passes quickly. First scent I’ve tried from Roja and definitely will try more. On my skin performance is very solid.

I enjoyed this fragrance a lot! I’m going to buy a bigger decant size

Best fresh scent

Nice citrusy nuances. Like a cousin to Bleu de Chanel with more citrus and worse longevity.

I liked this blue scent and can understand why it's so niche as it gets complex in the dry down. At certain hours I would get a whiff and smelt more rosey/flowers then at other times I would get more vanilla/benzoin. It was interesting how it changed throughout the hours but still was not a favorite for me and my preferences. However, definitely worth it to try out as a decant.

I've heard good things about this one, but I can't get over the chemical smell

Wow. Dark take on typical body wash fragrance. Absolute banger.

Smells like pdm percival but more refined and with some smokiness on dry down

Great smelling fragrance. I absolutely love it.  Its has some green to it, but its very clean and fresh. Blue style scent. It might be niche, but it's still a blue style fragrance and it's not going to offend anyone. About 6 hour performance for me.

Great scent.  I really enjoy it.

I liked this very much. blue like scent

Nice Blue scent, but expensive for the performance

A great blue scent, but dont think its worth the price with Bleu de Chanel can fill the space

I like this one. I will buy a bigger sample.

Has a blue de chanel vibe with its own twist. Nice masculine scent but not the best performance and stays pretty close to the skin

Not super impressed, is in the realm of fragrances like Aventus, CDNIM, and Cedrat Boise where it is fruity lemony opening with a woody dry down

I really enjoy the Aventus DNA and every time I smell of fragrance with a tweak in the formula to give it a slight uniqueness, I’m all for it.

I will say I am a bit disappointed that the hype behind this fragrance, at least for me, ends up being not much more than an Aventus derivative. It is absolutely not a clone of Aventus but there are many similarities to Aventus that makes this scent smell a bit more generic than I'd hoped. That being said it smells similar to Aventus and Aventus smells amazing and I'd argue that I like Elysium more or at the very least the same so it's hard to hate this fragrance. The juniper berry/piney top note really makes this stand out in a positive way and gives it fresher vibe albeit still floral and woody. All of the notes are balanced beautifully.

This is a fantastic woody, aromatic 'blue' fragrance. Projects like crazy and lasts forever. Sharp citrus in the beginning with a sweet, woody dry down.
