What Is Parfums Vintage Soir Extrait a Dupe Of?

Parfums Vintage Soir Extrait is a clone of Roja Elysium Pour Homme Parfum Cologne. Extrait describes this version from Parfums Vintage; it doesn't change the reference to Roja's separate Elysium Parfum. We'd keep that distinction clear when choosing a sample of the original.

The note connection

Soir Extrait lists juniper berries, grapefruit, lemon, bergamot, lime, pink pepper, thyme and artemisia in the opening. Jasmine, vetiver, black currant, apple, rose, cypriol and cedar follow. Musk, leather, ambergris, benzoin, vanilla and labdanum make up the base.

The maker describes it as a higher-strength take on Elysium Cologne. Its saved notes also closely overlap with Evolution De L'Homme Soir. We'd treat concentration as part of the version's identity, rather than a guarantee of a particular projection level or a reason to assume it is automatically the better purchase.

How we'd choose

We'd sample Soir Extrait if the citrus-and-vetiver idea already appeals to us and we want to compare the alternatives within the range. The opening has plenty of citrus names, but we'd still pay attention to the leather and resins underneath. Those details are part of the overall decision too.

If you're choosing between this and Evolution De L'Homme Soir, wear both in the amount you'd realistically use. We would judge how enjoyable the full balance feels rather than simply reward the more noticeable first spray. Matin is another route if the patchouli variation interests you more than keeping vetiver in the heart.
