Paragon Extrait vs 272 Dior Sauvage Elixir For Men Cologne
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This is a seriously divisive scent. Some call it an intoxicating masterpiece of creamy woods and juicy plum, while others get synthetic fruit, old lady vibes, or even stale pencil shavings. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
272 is an aftershave companion to the house's Sauvage Elixir dupe - grapefruit, spice and smooth woods, thinner and less concentrated than Dior's own Elixir parfum.
