Which Should You Buy?

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.

Our Verdict - Imperium Eau de Parfum

This is a fresh, bright, and clean citrus aromatic that's a crowd-pleaser, delivering great value for money. Performance is an issue for many, so be prepared to respray, but the scent itself is widely adored.

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.

Also Works:

Date

Its fresh, clean, and inoffensive profile makes it perfect for casual and office wear, especially given its lighter projection. While versatile for dates, its limited longevity might require reapplication for longer events, and it's a bit too sporty for truly formal settings.
