SAUVAGE ELIXIR

Dior Sauvage Elixir is not just a stronger version of the original Sauvage; it is a complete reimagining of the DNA. Released in 2021, it moved the line from "fresh shower gel" into the territory of "dark, spicy, and luxury."

It is widely considered one of the most powerful designer fragrances ever made.

1. The Scent Profile: "Dark & Spicy"

Unlike the original EDT, which relies on heavy Ambroxan and citrus, the Elixir is dense, warm, and sophisticated.

• The Opening (Top Notes): A fiery, concentrated blast of Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Cardamom, and a bitter Grapefruit. It is immediate and commanding.

• The Heart (Mid Notes): A very specific, high-quality Nyons AOP Lavender. This isn't a floral lavender; it's clean, herbal, and "barbershop" in style.

• The Dry Down (Base Notes): A rich, syrupy blend of Licorice, Sandalwood, Amber, Patchouli, and Haitian Vetiver.

2. Performance: "The Nuclear Option"

The performance of Sauvage Elixir is legendary in the fragrance community. It is an Extrait de Parfum concentration, which is the highest level possible.

• Longevity: 12+ hours. It will easily last until you shower, and on clothes, it can stay for weeks.

• Projection: Massive. People will smell you from across the room for the first few hours.

• Spray Warning: This is a "2-spray maximum" fragrance. More than that can be overwhelming to you and those around you.
