Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sauvage Elixir Parfum
A thunderous, spicy-woody statement piece that takes the Sauvage DNA into ultra-rich, opulent territory. Not for the faint of heart - this is a modern powerhouse that exudes authority and midnight intrigue.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Ete Sauvage Elixir EDP
Ete Sauvage Elixir dupes Dior's Sauvage Elixir, a spicy fougere lavender bomb built on cinnamon, nutmeg and licorice over sandalwood and amber. The spicy opening lands close, but the concentrated richness and 12-hour projection of the original are noticeably scaled back here.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sauvage Elixir

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The powerful spicy-woody and amber heart makes this perfect for cold to cool weather, where it can project fully without becoming overwhelming. Fall and winter are ideal, but it can work in spring nights; it is too rich and intense for most summer days.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its boldness and opulence suit formal events or nights out, where presence is desired. It can be seductive for dates but risks being too assertive for office or casual use and is unsuitable for sports.
