Skip this one...get the extrait version

There are some fragrances you come across and they are just miles beyond anything else you've smelled. Only a few things come to mind when I think of things I've smelled and just been blown away:
Blue Sapphire Supercharged
Neroli Portofino Forte
"Hermessence Ambre Narguilé | Hermès"
Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum

Well Elysium Parfum Cologne Eau de Parfum fits into that group above. However, it's 99% identical in smell to Elysium pour Homme Parfum and given that you can regularly find the extrait version for under $260 USD I can't see why anyone would lean towards this version.

The performance is not there, don't listen to what anyone else says, it's NOT THERE. If you're a person who struggles to smell Aventus or Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum because they're Ambroxan heavy -- then you'll have that same problem with Elysium Parfum Cologne Eau de Parfum.

HOWEVER, it's not because the ambroxan with this one...it's because it just is not there after an hour. To be fair the extrait version isn't a whole lot better in terms of performance, but its def noticeable for longer.

I've even tried layering the PC version with the Extrait version and it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Do yourself a favor and skip this version, get the better version that will last a bit longer...although the extrait performance isn't THAT much better tbh.
