A lighter direction than much of Roja's catalogue, Roja's Elysium Pour Femme EDP opens on peach, blackberry, and bergamot before freesia, magnolia, and jasmine develop into a sandalwood and musk base, for anyone.
Elysium Pour Femme EDP, released in 2024, takes a fresh approach compared to much of Roja's catalogue. The opening of peach, blackberry, bergamot, and mandarin is bright and fruity: blackberry provides a dark, slightly jammy sweetness while peach adds softer fruitiness. The citrus notes keep the opening fresh rather than gourmand, and the transition to the floral heart is gradual.
Freesia, magnolia, lily of the valley, jasmine, peony, ylang-ylang, violet, and geranium in the heart form a full floral bouquet. Freesia and lily of the valley maintain the light character established in the opening; magnolia and peony contribute creamy soft florals; jasmine and geranium provide depth. Sandalwood and cedar in the base provide light woody structure; vanilla adds mild sweetness; pink pepper adds a faint spice. Musk extends the composition for eight to ten hours.
Elysium Pour Femme EDP suits spring and summer from daytime through evening. The light fruity-floral combination reads well in warm temperatures. A fragrance suited to daytime social occasions, outdoor events, and warm-weather formal settings.
