Our take on the Christian Dior Sauvage Elixir Parfum

Sauvage Elixir is Dior's darker, denser take on the Sauvage line, composed by François Demachy. It opens with grapefruit, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom and settles into a spicy, woody, lavender-tinged base. It is far more concentrated and mature than the original Sauvage eau de toilette, so it suits men who want a bold evening or cold-weather signature rather than a fresh daily spray. Compared with the fresher Sauvage EDT and EDP, it trades brightness for depth and lasts noticeably longer on skin.
