Elysium Eau Intense
Roja Parfums Elysium Eau Intense Eau de Parfum 100ml opens on a wide citrus spread, bergamot, grapefruit and lime together, with rhubarb cutting a tart green line through them. Lavender, thyme and artemisia sit immediately behind, aromatic and bitter, and they set the herbal tone the rest of the fragrance works against. The opening is crowded in material count but tight in effect, since everything in it pulls the same bitter, green, citric direction.
The heart is floral and fruited at once: lily of the valley, orange blossom, rose, jasmine and tuberose give it a white floral fullness, while apple and blackcurrant keep a sharp juiciness running underneath. The base is long and layered. Galbanum and violet leaf hold the green, black pepper and juniper berry keep a dry spiced bite, cypriol, vetiver and cedarwood build the woods, and benzoin, vanilla, labdanum, leather, ambergris and musk settle it into something resinous, soft and faintly animal. Elysium Eau Intense runs from bright citrus through herbs and flowers into green woods and warmth.
Roja Dove composed it for the 2023 launch. Roja Parfums is an independent house he established in Mayfair, London in 2011.
Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it sits close to the skin and keeps its reach modest rather than filling a room. It wears through spring, summer, autumn and winter, the citrus and herbs carrying the warm months and the woods and resins the cold ones. It suits professional wear, casual days and a night out.
