Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its fresh and clean character, make it perfect for casual daytime wear. It's subtle enough for the office but perhaps too understated for formal evening events.

About

Elysium opens with a bright, unusual blend of linden blossom and juicy melon, immediately setting a fresh and slightly gourmand tone. As it settles, a floral heart of jasmine, lily of the valley, and freesia emerges, adding a soft, clean elegance. The base of papaya, cedarwood, and musk provides a comforting warmth, ensuring a sensual yet never overpowering finish. It's a harmonious and uplifting composition.
