Dior Sauvage Elixir is not just a stronger Sauvage. It is darker, spicier, bolder, and more old-school in character.

What Does Sauvage Elixir Smell Like?
Nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom, and grapefruit create a spicy opening. Lavender keeps it clean, while licorice, amber, patchouli, woods, and vetiver make the drydown darker and richer.
Is It Like Regular Sauvage?
You can tell it belongs to the family, but Elixir moves much farther toward spice, lavender, and dark woods than the brighter blue style of the regular line.
How Strong Is It?
Very strong for many wearers. Start with one or two sprays when testing it. A small decant can last longer than you might expect because you do not need a heavy application.
When Should You Wear It?
It is best suited to cooler evenings, date nights, dinners, fall, winter, and situations where you want a fragrance with presence.

Why Sample It?
Sauvage Elixir is powerful and premium-priced. You may love the opening and find it too strong hours later—or discover that the drydown is exactly what you wanted. A sample answers that before the full-bottle purchase.
