Elysium Noir

Elysium Noir by Roja Parfums is an unisex parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot, lemon, mandarin, sweet orange and lavender, moves into rose and blackberry and dries down to juniper berry, cypress, pink pepper, cardamom, cypriol and frankincense. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.

Heart

Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Blackberry Dark, jammy and wine-like. Deeper than most berries.

Dry-down

Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
Cypress Cool, green, resinous conifer. Sharp and clean.
Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
