Elysium Pour Femme

Elysium Pour Femme by Roja Parfums is a feminine-leaning parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot, mandarin, blackberry and peach, moves into geranium, peony, freesia, cyclamen, lily of the valley and ylang-ylang and dries down to pink pepper, cedarwood, sandalwood, vanilla and musk. 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.
Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
Blackberry Dark, jammy and wine-like. Deeper than most berries.
Peach Fuzzy, warm and slightly creamy. Soft rather than sharp.

Heart

Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
Peony Pink, watery and slightly peppery. Modern and inoffensive.
Freesia Crisp, slightly peppery floral. Clean and a bit synthetic in a good way.
Cyclamen Watery, green and airy. Used to make florals feel light.
Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.

Dry-down

Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
