What Is Parfums Vintage Evolution De L'Homme Soir a Dupe Of?

Parfums Vintage Evolution De L'Homme Soir is a clone of Roja Elysium Pour Homme Parfum Cologne. Citrus, aromatic herbs and vetiver explain the pairing. If you're sorting through the similarly named Parfums Vintage options, Soir keeps vetiver in the discussion while Matin takes a patchouli direction.

The note connection

Soir lists grapefruit, lime, lemon, bergamot, juniper berries, pink pepper, thyme and artemisia at the top. Vetiver appears with apple, cedar, black currant, cypriol, jasmine and rose in the heart. The base includes leather, musk, ambergris, benzoin, labdanum and vanilla.

Elysium Parfum Cologne's catalog notes also bring together citrus, herbs, vetiver and a base with ambergris, leather, vanilla and resins. The overlap helps explain why this is the original to compare. The order of a few notes differs, which isn't a reliable way to predict their exact strength on skin.

How we'd choose

We'd start with Soir if the citrus-and-vetiver connection is the part you want from this style. Pay attention to how the woodier notes sit underneath the opening. A fragrance can have plenty of citrus on its note list and still feel very different once that first impression has settled.

It makes sense to compare Matin if you tend to prefer patchouli to vetiver, or Soir Extrait if you're interested in the other version of this idea. We'd choose between them by wearing samples at a normal spray amount. The name or concentration label alone won't tell you which balance is most enjoyable.
