Elysium Parfum Cologne

Elysium Parfum Cologne by Roja Parfums is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum from 2017 in the luxury price tier. It opens with grapefruit, lemon and apple, moves into juniper berry, cypress and black pepper and dries down to ambergris, vetiver, cedarwood and white musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
Apple Crunchy and tart or soft and red, depending on the treatment.

Heart

Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
Cypress Cool, green, resinous conifer. Sharp and clean.
Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.

Dry-down

Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
