Roja Parfums Dove Elysium Pour Homme Cologne Eau de Cologne

I have been trying to remember which fragrance from the early 2000s it resembles. I found them, tested them together on my skin. There is a lot in common with the scent Jil Sander for Men by Jacques Cavallier in Fabien Baron's bottle (gray) - both fragrances are works of art! The smell itself is pretty good. Elysium is slightly more modern, using grapefruit and lime instead of mint and ivy in Sander - it could have been mind-blowing, but it's just great. Why? In this fragrance, you get the maximum sensation of a cool dominant note of natural grapefruit, and just when you think it's a boring office scent, a mischievous spiciness appears and it becomes much more interesting. It's funny because the bottle is so cool to hold and look at, and it surpasses the perfume's scent, I think. It could have been the number 1 niche fragrance inside such a bottle, but it's just an excellent office men's fragrance... inside an incredible bottle.

Despite the abundance of notes, personally, it always smells the same to me - pleasant citrusy, but nothing out of the ordinary. Additionally, the eau de cologne version is weaker in terms of longevity, so spending money on it is not worth it.
