Roja Parfums Elysium Intense is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2023, created by Roja Dove. Elysium Intense opens with Rhubarb, Musk, Bergamot, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Woody Notes, Leather, and Cedar. Roja Parfums's Elysium Intense carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

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.

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.

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.

About

A vibrant blast of tart rhubarb, grapefruit, and lime ignites the senses, quickly mellowing into a fresh, cool heart of lily of the valley and rose, tinged with a hint of crisp apple and blackcurrant. As it settles, a clean, aromatic blend of juniper, vetiver, and woody notes grounds the composition, with delicate hints of leather and ambergris adding a refined depth. It's a journey from zesty brightness to a smooth, herbaceous dry-down.
