Which Should You Buy?
Amber Sky is a divisive beast: some hail it as a luxurious, beast-mode amber worthy of its hefty price tag, while others find its potent spice and woody notes overwhelming, generic, and overpriced. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but certainly makes a statement.
Elixir goes for the cinnamon-cardamom-tonka concentration Dior built Sauvage Elixir around, delivering a warm spicy-amber wear that is recognisably in the same family, though thinner in the sandalwood-tonka richness than the parfum-strength original.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with rich amber and spicy accords, make it unsuitable for an office setting. However, it excels in formal and date scenarios, especially in cooler weather, where its luxurious and bold character can shine without overpowering. Some find it acceptable for casual winter wear.
Seasons
Warm cinnamon-tonka-amberwood suits cold-weather, evening wear; too heavy and sweet for summer.
Occasions
Rich and spicy enough for dates and formal winter occasions; too intense for office or sport.
