How is Sauvage Elixir different from the original Sauvage?

Elixir is much more concentrated and leans spicy, sweet and woody, with prominent lavender, licorice and amber. The original EDT is fresher and brighter, with more citrus and ambroxan.

How many sprays should I use?

Two to three sprays are usually enough given its concentration and projection. Overspraying is the most common complaint from owners.

Is it good for hot weather or the office?

It is heavy and sweet-spiced, so it suits evenings and cool weather better. In heat or a close office, a single spray is safer.

What does it smell like?

Grapefruit, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom open it, lavender sits at the heart, and licorice, sandalwood, amber, patchouli and Haitian vetiver form the base.

Men who want a bold, long-lasting signature scent and already like the Sauvage line. It is less of a safe everyday pick than the lighter Sauvage versions.
