Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Elysium Noir EDP
Prepare for a proper ruckus with this one. Elysium Noir is the very definition of divisive; some love its elevated blue fragrance vibe, while others decry its generic designer leanings and lacklustre performance. Sample first, unless you enjoy a gamble.

Our Verdict - Plaisir Frais EDT
Plaisir Frais is a confident, modern EDT that delivers on its name - fresh pleasure in a bottle. It's a crowd-pleaser for sure, managing to be both lively and understated at the same time.

Season and Occasion Fit

Elysium Noir

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal

Its moderate projection and generally appealing clean blue scent make it versatile for casual and date wear but less suited for formal events due to its designer-like familiarity. While initial projection is strong, its longevity issues according to many reviews mean it's not ideal for all-day office wear without reapplication.

Plaisir Frais

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh and clean profile, coupled with a moderate EDT performance, makes it perfect for casual and office wear without being overpowering. While pleasant and approachable for a date, its playful nature might be a bit too relaxed for truly formal events.
