The review
On paper, Imperium is a strong bet if you want Elysium for less.
Fragrance World sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Elysium's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $28 per 100ml it costs 93% less than Elysium — the 2nd cheapest of 15 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Fragrance World publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on grapefruit, lemon and bergamot, turns to blackcurrant, juniper and cypress, and settles into vetiver, cedar and ambergris. That is the brief Imperium is working from.
Top
- grapefruit
- lemon
- bergamot
Heart
- blackcurrant
- juniper
- cypress
Base
- vetiver
- cedar
- ambergris
For the golden hour. Sparkling grapefruit and blackcurrant meet vetiver and ambergris — fresh, luminous and quietly seductive.

Of the 18 twins of Roja Parfums Elysium we can price, Imperium is number 2 on price per 100ml.
