Dior Sauvage Elixir

Fragrance Family: Woody Spicy

Description:
Dior Sauvage Elixir is the boldest and most intense flanker in the Sauvage line. Released in 2021, it takes the original DNA and amplifies it with a deeper, darker, and more luxurious scent profile. Created by François Demachy, this fragrance leans into rich spices, deep woods, and an almost vintage masculine charm. While it maintains a connection to the original Sauvage line, it stands apart with a much heavier and more refined presence.

Fragrance Notes:

• Top Notes: Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Cardamom, Grapefruit
• Heart Notes: Lavender
• Base Notes: Sandalwood, Licorice, Amber, Patchouli, Haitian Vetiver​

Scent Profile:
Sauvage Elixir opens with a spicy kick from cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom, balanced by a bright grapefruit note. The heart is dominated by lavender, lending a clean yet rich floral element. As it dries down, the fragrance reveals deep woody tones with sandalwood, patchouli, and Haitian vetiver, giving it a smoky, earthy, and slightly sweet finish. The liquorice and amber add a warm, resinous depth.

Performance:
This is a beast mode fragrance in terms of longevity and projection. Sauvage Elixir is known for lasting over 12+ hours, with strong projection for at least 3-4 hours. It leaves a noticeable scent trail and lingers on clothing well into the next day​

• Seasons: Fall & Winter
• Occasions: Night outs, formal events, dates, or situations where you want to make a strong impression
• Who Should Wear It: Confident men who like bold, spicy, and woody fragrances. This is a powerhouse scent, so it may not suit those who prefer something lighter​.

Overall Impression:
Dior Sauvage Elixir is an intense, sophisticated fragrance with an ultra-masculine edge. While some may find it too strong for daily wear, it excels in colder weather and formal settings. It’s a statement-making scent that commands attention and garners compliments. If you enjoy powerful, long-lasting fragrances with a rich, spicy-woody depth, this is a fantastic choice.
