Roja Dove 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, Leather, and Cedar. Roja Dove's Elysium Intense carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-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.

Its fresh and vibrant profile is perfect for casual outings and warmer weather, and it's certainly a crowd-pleaser for dates.

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.
