The take

What works

  • Rhubarb addition gives the citrus opening a tart, modern twist
  • Heavier floral-leather drydown extends longevity meaningfully
  • More distinctive than a typical flanker — feels like its own composition

Trade-offs

  • Pulls Elysium toward floral territory that may alienate fans of the original's clean clarity
  • Still Roja-luxury priced for what's essentially a flanker reformulation
