About Roja Dove Roja Elysium
Elysium by Roja Dove is a men's eau de cologne from 2017 named after the Greek paradise. Despite the lighter cologne concentration, this has seven top notes, ten heart notes, and five base notes for a total of twenty-two ingredients. Roja Dove's approach to cologne is clearly more generous than most. Rated 8.0 out of 10.
The opening is a citrus-herbal explosion. Grapefruit, lemon, bergamot, and lime provide a four-citrus foundation. Thyme adds herbal warmth. Artemisia contributes bitter green character. Galbanum brings sharp, resinous greenness. Seven notes create one of the most complex, layered fresh openings in perfumery.
The heart is enormous and varied. Vetiver provides earthy, smoky depth. Juniper berries add dry, aromatic character. Black currant and apple bring fruity sweetness. Pink pepper provides spicy heat. Cedar adds woody structure. Cypriol contributes earthy darkness. Lily of the valley, rose, and jasmine add floral beauty. Ten heart notes create a middle that is simultaneously fresh, woody, fruity, and floral.
The base is warm and animalic. Ambergris provides marine, natural depth. Leather adds warm richness. Vanilla contributes sweetness. Benzoin and labdanum provide balsamic warmth. Five base notes create a refined, long-lasting foundation.
This works year-round. The fresh, complex character suits both warm and cool weather. Good for office, dates, and smart-casual settings. Good projection and surprisingly strong longevity for a cologne. A paradise of complexity where every wear reveals something new.
