Evolution De L'Homme Soir
by Parfums Vintage
Evolution De L'Homme Soir opens with a sharp, piercing citrus burst dominated by grapefruit, bergamot, and lime, giving it a bold and slightly abrasive character. This initial intensity persisting for about an hour before mellowing into a softer, more balanced profile featuring vetiver, ambergris, and a subtle floral-woody base. The scent evolves into a fresh, clean, masculine fragrance with mild sweetness from vanilla and black currant, characteristics often associated with Roja Dove's Elysium, though with a more pronounced citric profile and less refined sillage. Performance is strong—lasting 8 to 10 hours with moderate to strong projection early on—making it especially suitable for warmer weather and daytime use.
Pros
- +Exceptional longevity and strong projection during initial wear
- +Affordable alternative to Roja Elysium with a very close scent profile
- +Balanced accords including vetiver and ambergris make it versatile and seasonally appropriate for spring and summer
Cons
- −Unpleasantly sharp and bitter citrus opening for sensitive noses
- −Oily residue left on skin due to high concentration of oils
- −Lacks the depth and smoothness of the original Roja Elysium, falling short in emotional resonance and richness
