Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Elysium Intense

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 - Divin Asylum

A modern fougere that delivers a beautiful, fresh citrus opening, though its performance is notoriously hit-or-miss. It's truly divine if you can get a good batch or if you're patient enough for it to macerate.

Office

Given its fresh, citrus-forward nature and moderate-to-weak performance for many, it's ideal for casual and sport settings where you want a refreshing scent but aren't concerned with longevity. Its elegance makes it suitable for dates, but it might struggle in formal events or the office unless you're prepared to reapply.
