This was a walking by the counter splurge in the 90’s.
To me one of the nicest melon, floral and feminine scent. Why they did not continue to produce it? I gave mine away with only about under half left. It was beginning to get that off smell. So I gave it to a friend to Finish it off.

Relaunch Clarins??? I loved it.
Alexandrkiev69 – :
Seriously? Two votes saying it smells like the One Direction fragrance?
Not even close.
*facepalm*

I wish to sell 100 ml. of the lovely fragrance, Elysium (approx 90% full)
If interested, please send me a message.

I found a small vial of this hidden away in my chest of drawers. It’s almost full and it’s developed into quite a deep yellow, but what’s absolutely surprising is that it still smells good. I suspect it’s because it’s been kept in the dark since the mid ‘90s.
First sniff has me wondering whether this was one of the first fruit cocktails, because it is definitely juicy and fruity, although I am getting some green and flowers…
I can see why there’s a nostalgic fan club for this fragrance, it’s classic and considering my wee bottle is about 25 years old, it still smells fresh, that tidy dab I applied projected well, and I could still smell it a few hours later.

A couple years ago, I hit the jackpot on eBay. A brand new gift set with 1.7 EDT, 5oz lotion, and soap for…don’t hate me please…$22. I was stunned because I had bid far more than that and expected to be outbid, but no one bid. Enough of my bragging, now about the scent. Gorgeous floral (and I don’t generally like florals) with some melon to keep it from smelling like a funeral. Lasts and lasts, especially considering it is EDT and the bottle is at least 15 years old. I bought 2 other 3.4 bottles for far more than $20, but fortunately neither were bad, so I’m glad I stocked up. Herrera 212 is similar, but not as good, and only lasts a few minutes. This one was a dream, and I do wish they hadn’t stopped making it.
Scent: 10/10
Longevity: 9/10
Overall: 10/10

I used to like this as a teenager but most of all loved the name. I used to joke I would call my child Elysium. however I called my daughter Elizabeth which is similar
Joanhqz – :
I loved this and other people liked it on me. This is the one fragrance which would get me compliments from strangers – never overwhelming and not too sweet, just lovely.
Andrey_Begoml – :
I must have over a dozen different perfumes! But if they still made this I’d only need one. I’ve tried Carolina Herrera 212 which has similarities but it’s not the same.
Update: I took a risk on a second hand bottle on Ebay. It smells a bit off at first (I figured there was a chance it could’ve gone bad given the age of it) but after about 10 minutes I can smell that familiar scent I fell in love with – still not 100% “fresh” but enough to go on if I’m trying to find something similar. Thankfully I got it at a good price – no way would I pay $300 plus most sellers are asking given the risk.
Further update: I’ve given up on ever getting a bottle of this that’s still good. My last one went bad real fast. I bought one recently and she asked me to come and try it before buying. I gave it a spritz and it was beautiful. Got it home and sprayed with abandon and it just went all musky. I’m slightly devastated :'( – I don’t think I’m ever going to find “the one”

unfortunately it’s discontinued, i miss the fresh and flowery scent
Vitaalkaa – :
This perfume is a soft sweet sensual dream that bathes your senses in an all over feeling of peacefulness like after an orgasm and good sex. I love it. This is my favorite perfume ever and I might have to get another job…but I WILL HAVE IT !!! Thats how much I love it. Sweet like a newborn. It does something wonderful to your mind and body when you put it on. For me, it instantly can change my mood.
WOW-1978 – :
My all time favorite scent. I purchased everything I could afford, in the first few years after it was discontinued. I’ve long ran out, and can’t bring myself to pay the outrageous prices people want for an item that I believe may not smell the same after all these years. Oh, Clarins, please bring this fragrance back, if even for a limited time!!!
RusTim – :
Has anyone tried getting some from the sites listed above? I’m very tempted to try…but….. not sure if it will be the real thing..? I loved it so much and had gallons of it, I’m kicking myself for having been so lavish with it. Still, I really enjoyed it at the time. Do let me know if you’ve had success buying some
Vladartm – :
agree with you all 🙁
Spaicer666 – :
The fact that this has been d/c breaks my heart. I still have some tucked away in a cabinet–every once in a while I take it out and breathe deeply. I don’t dare wear it or I’ll run out completely. So clean and fresh, without being soapy or loud. A gorgeous scent!
Psamafa – :
It was such a fine,delicate essense…Unfortunately,I cannot find it anywhere,even in France!
ystas63 – :
I feel the same way Yvonnes, it seems to me my favourites always get discontinued, very very sad.
starmusic2008 – :
I think this is now discontinued. I loved it and was gutted when they stopped making it.
