Roja Parfums Elysium Pour Homme Parfum Cologne, Sample
Roja Parfums Elysium Pour Homme Parfum Cologne is a masterful aromatic fougere that begins with a vibrant burst of citrus freshness. Grapefruit and lemon lend a bright, zesty top note that immediately invigorates the senses, while lime adds a sharp, tangy edge. The inclusion of bergamot introduces a slightly bitter undertone, perfectly balanced by the green, herbaceous nuances of thyme and galbanum. Artemisia contributes an almost floral, yet subtly bitter character, rounding out the opening in a complex and multifaceted manner.
As the fragrance evolves, the heart reveals a sophisticated blend of earthy and fruity aromas. Vetiver provides a dry, smoky quality that pairs beautifully with the sweet, resinous scent of juniper berries. Black currant and apple offer juicy, crisp facets, while pink pepper infuses a subtle spiciness. The delicate floral notes of lily-of-the-valley, jasmine and rose introduce an elegant softness, harmonising with the woody depth of cedar and the exotic, slightly smoky cypriol oil or nagarmotha.
The dry-down is a luxurious tapestry of rich base notes. Ambergris imparts a warm, mineral-like depth, while leather adds a smooth, robust character. Vanilla and benzoin introduce sweetness with a creamy, balsamic quality, and labdanum offers a resinous, slightly animalic richness. Together, these notes create a fragrance that is both alluring and versatile, making Elysium an exceptional choice for the modern man.
