I keep telling everyone that Elysium Cologne is in a superior class to Aventus but they keep falling in the inception seeded over the years by youtubers or fragrance forums. Everything in Elysium Cologne is way better than Aventus.
@@hrithik4515 Smell is a personal thing. I love Elysium Cologne, in my book it's better than Danger but that's how I think. Everyone has it's own taste in fragrances.
I took the plunge on Elysium last Summer and it became as one of my instant dumb reach of the season. I agree not the same as Aventus, totally different vibe.
@@TroyD247Mall I mean, I live in Canada, and there are some places they ask to do not use any fragrance because some people are sensitive to it, but for BO they’re good at it. 😂
I paid $315 for this and kinda disappointed with the projection and sillage. I was my very first bottle from this house. Don't get me wrong tho. It's a beautiful scent. Thx for a review. I totally agree with everything you said.
Received a decant today. I did not want to do the same mistake as in the past with blind buys (Armani Royal Oud e.g. etc.). Wow, amazing and absolutely what I was looking for. Tested many: Xerjoff (Naxos was top, but it´s maybe for colder weather), Creed SMW: amazing, freshy, but I think more suitable for womans (didn´t try Aventus though), PDM - huge disappointment for me unfortunately, maybe Percival and Herod (Layton Exclusif was an absolute disaster and let down, again just my opinion and experience, classic Layton was much better, Carlisle also not what I expected), but overall not what I was LF. I tested Roja then and Elysium is a winner for me. Decent freshy/leathery/bit sweety scent, I think suitable for offices (to the suit, for meetings, bussiness scent if you know what I mean) and daily wearing, elegant, still typical man fragrance, really wow. Will buy a bottle definitely. At the moment I am using Prada L'Homme EDT and it´s great too, but Elysium Parfum Cologne beats it for me. EDIT: another great thing is that I think (not only me, but I saw many testing videos) that this one is suitable not only for hotter weather, but also for cold, it is full of mysteries and still simple, sorry but this scent blew me away :D
I like rojas perfume, but this one was a big disappointment i do think this was hyped up a lot by the community. For me the smell is not great and the performance is just weak, not worth the price.
Really interesting review & I appreciate the insight. I just ordered a bottle from NM. I know a lot of people mention projection is not strong do you ever just reapply the fragrance?
I agree with virtually with everything you said and you hit the nail on the head. But I do find it to be extremely bright at least on me. The grapefruit is fruit and center and it screams. I will also add that it is in no way shape or form like Aventus. Yes maybe you could categorize them together due to being fruity and musky but it ends there. Another one I find not like Aventus is Hacivat. Again you could categorize them together as being fruity and woody but that’s where it ends. All of those fragrances stand on there own wonderfully without having to be like one another but they will always be compared because most regard them to such a high standard and for good reason.
Great review. Very knowledgeable and informative. I want to know your opinion between elysium and Xerjoff Renaissance. Witch one is better? Thanks advance.
Behrooz Tabar thank u sir! Unfortunately I don’t have Renaissance (yet) so hopefully one day I’ll be able to make that comparison. Thank u for the support!
I suspect that Elysium has undergone a reformulation. The decant I recently purchased has no power. Rightfully so upon release Elysium was considered a fresh beast. Regretfully I don't know if this is still accurate.
I tested it tonight. 5 sprays and a spray on my hand. Literally after 3 hrs the scent is gone from chest. The spray on my hand I can smell but its faint and smells similar to Artisan Pure at this point. I really have to dig my nose on it. I’m disappointed. It did not work for me at all. I wonder if I have to let it macerate like Aventus or something but so far its the weakest frag I own to date.
Ya know I've had a vintage batch of aventus and I' have a new aventus and the Elysium it's very bright the roja but there not connected or in the same family like the fact there bright and fresh but YOU are rite on your or how you discribed the aventus family 🙏 so but I totally get your point but guys need some shit to compare but elesium isn't what I expected at all it's nice my wife gave it the eeeww honey that's so nice but I'm not wowed by it even creation E I'm not blown away especially for the almost 900$ I plunked down for the roja elesium and creation E and the vetiver very like not what i expected bro but your rite with your point great job bro👍 be safe dude .....I'd still love to try the amouge gold the Putin favorite 🤔# just a fan👍

I've got a bottle I actually won in a waffle. I find it to be bright in the opening and sharp lol and i like it during the day as well. It just shows we're all different. But i absolutely agree it is not like Aventus at all and after the opening it is not really bright anymore and doesnt project crazy. I do get decent longevity which a lot of people complain about. As I try more and learn about more scents I find myself starting to think do I really want Elysium or should I trade/sell it, same with BR540 (another waffle win) not cuz I dont like them but for want of others I think lol and with BR540 although they arent the same Instant Crush(lol another waffle win) I enjoy and its 120ml vs. 70ml for much less $ but again they r def different so I get conflicted and keep em so far lol.

Yeah my spring summer hits is what 40 perfumes long now so my bright and sharp might be different from you at this point lol and actually that 40 is just 1/4 of the whole lot. Like I said to me it’s my night time wear summer because it conveys a lot of how I want to use it. U could easily trade it and u should be okay doing that because there’s so many of it around that you’ll get it back at some point.
@@titusalabat5173 Haha it was a while ago now I haven't played ina long time and I played a bunch to get those wins lol. But it was fb group frag addicts. No more waffles for me. Good luck if u play though!
I found a way to get it to last a few hours after watching a Roja video. After spraying it [in a concentrated spot] immediately cover it with a moisturizer and it stops it from evaporating. I’ve found the thicker the moisturizer the better the performance. With this trick don’t expect an amazing longevity, it just doesn’t feel like such a waste of money doing this.
Overspray mate, my friend does 10 sprays of that thing, neck and clothes and i can smell it for hours and hours. And it projects in an elegant way, Roja's perfumes are not meant to be projecting beasts, it's class and elegance. This thing is too beautiful to not have it and trust me even tho you can't smell it's there.
Yeah I got a bottle in January from Jomashop and performance is AWFUL. It smells good but damn. Worst performance of all the freshies I have. Almost to the point where I think it’s fake.
Lol good for you maybe it’s also what your preconceived thoughts about it. I have none and a lot (believe me a lot) to compare it with hence my review. My bright means bright BRIGHT lol.

I don't understand why some people don't like perfumes.
My bet, they don't like the person.

I think this is best to wear in spring/summer night time
Excited to give This a try with the summer nights coming up
Please do!

🙏🏼
elysium for me is a fresh summer frag.
I've been wearing this the last week and came to the same conclusion it's perfect for summer nighttime
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I sprayed 12 times and it went away after 4 hours. And my wife could barely smell it too. What did I do wrong??
Interesting you say reflection man for hot weather .. This is so refreshing in the heat
Beautiful smell, scented water performance at best. This thing don't last even an hour being noticeable
If i will get it with around 160 US dollars .. is that a good deal ?! after that "bad performance" you mentioned ?? Thanks
Most acturate / honest review of Elysium. It doesn't project. It's a lingering scent 👍🏼
💯🙏🏻👍🏻
@@TroyD247Mall curious if you would review - Clive Christian : Hedonistic?
I layer the Cp with the Parfum. Could wear this 5 days a week
😍
I got this because I wanted something more updated and better than Aventus.

Pretty sure we all went through this phase glad u did too!
If it's a skin scent to me is money not well spent.
I think the only significant similarity between these two is their each brand's shot at a mass-appealing niche banger but that's about it! lol
Got sample of this, its good, I agree with low key vibes though.
I like rojas perfume, but this one was a big disappointment i do think this was hyped up a lot by the community. For me the smell is not great and the performance is just weak, not worth the price.
That means Creed Aventus is superior right?!

Funny I just got the PARFUm version recently and I think the Cologne is definitely brighter! Thanks for your feedback man!
My unrefined nose must be no good because all I smell is heavy grapefruit. I will keep testing.
I like the smell, but this isn't even remotely worth it's price for me to be honest. I would consider it at half the price.
You should be able to find this at great prices as well as on the grey! Good luck!

@@TroyD247Mall i dont have elysium, but i have renaissance and man it is fucking nice, i love it and performance is great for a freshie
Great review! Most honest and no hype. Would you please review Mefitso?
I will soon thanks!
I love the smell but performance is so weak dam
Do the mefisto next
I honestly prefer Amouge Reflection man over this. I like it but doesn’t have that “pop” you talking about.
It doesn’t that’s what I meant by zero bright. And Reflection man is daytime use for me lol
haha my highschool lady killer was DG the one
Everyone is wearing Aventus, it's so played out now.
I wouldn't know. I've been stuck inside my house lol!
I suspect that Elysium has undergone a reformulation. The decant I recently purchased has no power. Rightfully so upon release Elysium was considered a fresh beast. Regretfully I don't know if this is still accurate.
No idea man. And I upgraded to EXTRAIT so who knows
@@TroyD247Mall How is the projection with the extrait?
Do you think it's a fairly unique scent?
Nope, but a contender in the similar types it’s compared to
I tested it tonight. 5 sprays and a spray on my hand. Literally after 3 hrs the scent is gone from chest.
