Our Verdict - Elysium Intense Eau de Toilette

This flanker of Elysium is a divisive one. Many find it a refreshing, zesty update to the original, amping up the citrus and adding a unique rhubarb tartness. However, a significant number of people find the performance abysmal and the scent profile too generic or even unpleasant, like cleaning product. Try before you buy, it's not a safe blind-buy for everyone.

Season and Occasion Fit

CK Be Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

CK Be shines in spring and summer with its crisp green and aromatic freshness, while the light musky-woody drydown is less suited to cold temperatures or winter layering.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its clean, soft projection and sheer style make it perfect for office and casual wear, as well as discreet sports use, but it lacks the richness for formal occasions.

Elysium Intense Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office Formal

Despite its 'Intense' moniker, this fragrance is widely reported to have moderate to weak performance, making it suitable for office wear without being overpowering. Its fresh and vibrant profile is perfect for casual outings and warmer weather, and it's certainly a crowd-pleaser for dates. While it could work for some formal events, other scents might offer more gravitas.
