Elysium Intense EDT
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A magnetic, modern chypre that fuses luscious blackcurrant and syrupy vanilla with a plush floral heart and earthy patchouli. Assertive, deeply feminine and full of after-dark allure.
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
Seasons
The intense blackcurrant, vanilla and patchouli base shine in cooler weather, making this ideal for fall and winter, but the juicy fruit and floral heart give it flexibility for spring's transition.
Occasions
Its rich, sweet and bold profile fits best for romantic dates and formal occasions, while the sillage and opulence may be too commanding for sports or very casual settings.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
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.
