What does Elysium smell like?

The top is led by honeydew melon, dewberry, linden blossom and papaya, so the scent opens fresh and fruity. In the heart, ylang-ylang, jasmine, freesia, rose and lily of the valley build a floral garden feel. The base of musk, sandalwood, osmanthus and cedar softens the sweetness and leaves a lightly resinous, woody floor.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close to the skin with a reasonable trail. Elysium is presented as a women's perfume, and Elizabeth Taylor Diamonds and Sapphires and Paris Hilton Paris Hilton have a close profile.
