Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Elysium Intense EDT
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.

Our Verdict - Zion INTENSE EDP
Zion Intense chases Roja's Elysium Eau Intense with a bigger, brighter mandarin-lemon opening and a woody-amber base. It captures the loud citrus rush well, but the mid-section reads flatter and less layered than the original, and the performance tapers off faster than the name promises.
