Elysium by Roja Parfum 3.4 oz

Hello,

I bought this cologne from the Perfume Spot a few months ago and noticed that it fades out quickly. Was I getting a fake by accident, or is this cologne like that? This is a high-end brand so I am confused. ,If someone owns it please let me know your thoughts. 

I have not reached out to PS.

Thanks 

It's very weak. Price/quality does not necessarily translate to better performance.

I understand, but why should we support manufacturers that don't make colognes that last longer than a few minutes? Money doesn't grow on trees. 

It's a good idea to sample fragrances on your skin to see how it performs before committing to a full bottle.

I 100% agree with you. I have made many blind purchases, which I understand most enthusiasts don't recommend. I did buy Roja Diaghilev for almost $1,200, which is a much better cologne.

Very weak!! Not worth the $!

Roja's creations while beautiful disappear quickly on my skin.  I thought I am becoming anosmic to them but my girlfriend confirmed that after two hours every Roja's scent is a pretty much skin scent which disappears after 3rd hour of application. One exception is Elysium Eau Intense - lasts 6-8 hours on me with heavy projections in the first hour - however everyone else who tried complains for its longevity and projection.

I 100% agree. I love the initial aroma, but it disappears rapidly. 

Just testing it's dupe, Maison Alhambra Spectrum. Very citrus opening and woody drydown. No great sillage, but it still there after few hours

Elysium pour Homme Parfum lasts awhile on my skin.

however, Elysium pour Homme Eau de Parfum is gone in 1-2 hours.
