As with all Roja Dove creations that I own, Elysium Eau Intense is yet another unique olfactory delight.
Its initial burst of fresh and zesty bergamot, blackcurrant, and grapefruit may not seem all that different from other parfums at first. Yet once it settles a bit, its true complexity comes to life.
The base notes of Elysium Eau Intense are similar to that of PDM Haltane (in my opinion). Although not as intense, the subtle notes of oud, musk, leather, and pepper start to emerge after a few hours. Increasingly so in warmer weather.
All around, this is wonderful for everyday wear with great projection for a good 6 to 8 hours.
