  • Since reviewing both AVENTUS by Creed and ELYSIUM by Roja Dove, I've received a lot of comments and feedback on both fragrances....both claiming to be the King of Men's Fragrances.
    So let's do a blind test and see what Tash will pick....

      In my opinion Jordan both fragrances are winners…and both work well all year round.
      Good luck with making the choice….personally its easy; get both😉

    When i purchased Elysium , to be honest i liked it but didn't love it and felt the performance was a bit sub par....but my son wore it to a wedding yesterday and it smelled amazing in the air around him and i could still smell it when he arrived home in the evening so perhaps i go nose blind when wearing it myself ? 🙂
    Another great review matey.

      It's funny when a fragrance does this....when you think it's gone, but it's just that I've gone nose blind to it (in truth it makes me sad). If I ever loose scent to my perfume I always ask those around me if they can smell it and 99.9% of the time the answer is 'yes'.
      On the flip side, I love how a perfume smells so different on me versus how it smells on my sons...it makes me feel that these fragrances adapt to our own natural scent; gives the fragrance a new dimension.
      Good to hear from you Chris, thanks for reaching out👊🏽

    Have you tried the Pure Parfum version of Elysium, if so, do you get much better longevity and projection ?

    • @TheNicheFragranceCollector
      @TheNicheFragranceCollector  Před 3 lety +1

      Hi @Reza R, I have tried it but I don’t own it, so not sure how the 2 will perform against each other. However, being that the Parfum has a higher concentration of oils, I’m going to say that it will smash the ‘Cologne’ version. I know that the ‘Cologne’ version has a more of a citrus opening and from memory the dry downs on both were similar.
      I selected this version only based on price. I wanted to ‘own’ a Roja and at the time, this is where my budget took me😬 The mission is to start owning the ‘big dog’ versions of the Roja collection🤑
      Thanks mate, great to hear from you

    @JT-rx1eo Před 2 lety +2

    I'm a little late to this, but for me what gives Elysium an edge is that the fruit and citrus extend deeper into the lifecycle of the wear compared to Aventus. From my bottle and a separate decant, Aventus' pineapple disappears really quickly. And what's left in the Aventus drydown is that "pencil shavings and lead" woody/smokey accord that I don't particularly like so much. But what is apparent is that Elysium took its inspiration from Aventus. Roja Dove can't deny that.

    Aventus and Elysium are both great! However, I found Elysium is lacking performance after the first 1h. It is a skin scent! Do you have the same issue? Can people still smell Elysium on you after 3-4h? Out of these two, which would win in terms of projection and performance?
    Thanks for your videos!:)

    • @TheNicheFragranceCollector
      @TheNicheFragranceCollector  Před 3 lety +4

      Funny, I've heard a few people comment the same thing on this thread (or in another video I did on Elysium). I don't find that for me. It stays on me comfortably for 7+ hours.
      I'd be interested to know if others around you can smell the fragrance. I have a few perfumes, where I've become anosmia to that fragrance, yet those around me can actually smell it...not sure why this happens?? The temptation is to overspray, but as mentioned I've discovered that it's best to ask those around me first🤔
      Out of the 2 (Elysium or Aventus) I find that for me Aventus projects better and creates a much strong sillage.

I tried Aventus and Elysium on both hands and after 3 h one person said that Aventus was projecting better, however he could still smell Elysium, but it was very weak. When it comes to the first hour- Elysium is the winner for me, but on the “long distance” I would say Aventus is better, because people can smell it! Have a great day!🙂

    I certainly get the comparison between Elysium and Aventus, but Elysium doesn’t have any sort of pineapple note. I’ve always found Elysium to have a lot more common with Mont Blanc Explorer in this regard.
