No clear edge, but fruity warmth after a zesty start with unfortunately only a slight aura
I had tested this fragrance years ago and today I am sure that my previous sample had gone off. So here we go again!
Roja provides us with a true abundance of ingredients, so only a few stand out clearly. The citrus notes dominate the top note as expected, quickly followed by slightly floral hints and an apple that tends towards sweetness. The base, on the other hand, contains pretty much all the base notes one can imagine, each used very subtly. At most, a slightly peppery spiciness emerges in the drydown. All in all, this creates a pleasant but unremarkable cocktail on my skin, which I would describe more as fruity-warm than citrus-fresh, at least after the quick fading of the top note.
For a niche fragrance, Elysium is very pleasing and thus, in contrast to many others, is likely to provoke only a few controversies. The scent is already wearable on every occasion because, due to its low projection, it is likely to elicit compliments only in intimate settings! ;-) Therefore, the price and performance are not in an acceptable relationship for me, as if Roja Dove deliberately wanted to avoid any friction with his creation. In its own way, Elysium is still very distinctive and harmoniously rounded... but I miss that certain something and especially an aura that I would love to be enveloped in for a fragrance at this price point.
