How it unfolds
-
Bright and green first
The top is a crowd of citrus: lemon, bergamot, grapefruit and lime, with lavender and thyme adding an aromatic, herbal edge and artemisia a bitter green note. A musk sits here too, which the house says keeps the opening weightless. It is sharp and clean, with air around it rather than sweetness.
-
Flowers, apple, blackcurrant
In the heart, lily of the valley, Rose de Mai and Jasmin de Grasse make a clean, light floral bed, and apple and blackcurrant add a juicy, slightly tart fruitiness. The citrus falls back but does not vanish. This is where the scent turns from sparkling to rounded, still fresh, with a softer outline.
-
Wood, resin and leather
The base is long and layered: cedarwood and vetiver for dry woods, galbanum and juniper berry for a green, slightly bitter lift, pink pepper and cypriol for spice and smoke. Benzoin, vanilla and labdanum bring warmth, and leather, ambergris and musk close it. The sweetness stays mild and the whole remains woody.
Wearing it
When, who and why
When to wear it
Elysium Pour Homme is easy to place: it fits office days, warm weather, weekend plans and evenings out. Two or three sprays on skin are plenty for an Eau de Parfum. The citrus and lavender give a clean first impression, and the cedar, vanilla and leather keep it from turning thin once the day cools.
Who it is for
Roja lists it for men, and it suits anyone who likes a fresh scent with some structure. If you enjoy lemon and lavender but want cedar and leather behind them, this is a natural pick. It works for people who want one dependable fragrance for work, travel and dinners instead of a different one for each season.

Questions
Frequently asked
What concentration is Elysium Pour Homme?
It is an Eau de Parfum in a 100 ml bottle: a fuller, longer-lasting strength than an Eau de Toilette, with citrus and lavender keeping the scent open and fresh.
How would you describe the scent in one line?
Fresh woody citrus: lemon, grapefruit and lavender up front, then flowers and fruit, and a dry base of cedarwood, vanilla and leather.
When does Elysium Pour Homme fit best?
It is easy to wear in spring and summer, at work and in the daytime, and the woody base lets it carry into autumn evenings as well.
How should I apply it?
Spray two or three times on clean, dry skin, for example on the neck and chest, from a hand's width away. Let it settle rather than rubbing it in.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
