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 - Zukhruf Black EDP
Zimaya's Zukhruf Black is a divisive, intoxicating blend that's either a beastly clone of Sauvage Elixir or a headache in a bottle, depending on who you ask. It's a bold, spicy ride, but be warned - some find it sickeningly strong.

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.

Zukhruf Black

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its potent spicy and woody accords, coupled with reports of strong projection and longevity, make it a bit much for the office. However, its sophisticated and sensual character is perfect for dates and evening events, and it's robust enough for casual wear in cooler weather.
