62 – Inspired by Sauvage Dior Elixir

Description

• Essence & Concept
  Sauvage Elixir (2021) is Dior’s high‑concentration take on the Sauvage line. It aims to magnify the signature Sauvage DNA, emphasizing strength, depth, and richness, while retaining familiar elements like freshness and aromatic clarity.

• Note Structure

  • Top notes: Grapefruit, Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Cardamom — citrus meets warm spicy notes for a vibrant, sharp opening.

  • Heart (middle): Lavender (AOP from Nyons) — cleans, aromatically rich, with a floral herbal facet that bridges the initial brightness to the deeper base.

  • Base notes: Licorice, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Amber, Haitian Vetiver — sweetness, resins, earth‑woods, and a smoky green whisper from vetiver give this fragrance its long‑lasting, enveloping trail.

• Evolution & Experience
  At first spray, you get a punch: spicy warmth + bright grapefruit. It’s sharp and noticeable, demanding attention. As it develops, lavender smooths things out, giving a cleaner, more layered smell. In the later phases, the wood, amber, licorice, and vetiver come forward: deep, warm, slightly sweet but grounded. The sweetness is balanced — not candy‑sweet, but luxurious. The dry‑down is rich, sensual, and very persistent.

• Longevity & Projection
  Very strong. This is one of the more noticeable, long‑lasting Sauvage flankers. It projects heavily especially in the early hours, then mellows a bit but stays perceptible for many hours. On clothes or fabric, it tends to linger much longer.

• Best Use / Occasions
  Works best in cooler weather (fall, winter, chilly nights) where the warmth and richness won’t become overwhelming. Ideal for evening wear, special occasions, nights out. Because it’s dense and potent, few sprays are enough. Might be heavy or too intense for hot daytime under strong sun or in very warm indoor environments.

• Character & Vibe
  Sauvage Elixir feels luxurious, dramatic, powerful. It gives off confidence, boldness, a sense of upscale masculinity. It’s not subtle; it’s made to be noticed. The wood‑spice base + sweetness makes it feel rich and sensual. If you like scents that are statement‑makers but still polished, this one delivers.
