    Nice vid. While I am absolutely in love with Sauvage Elixir, this just underscores how personal and individual fragrances are. I wear scents for me; I don’t intend to offend others, but love some frags that have never gotten compliments (Memoir Man from Amouage is a prime example). I do think there’s some “message” in fragrances, however. The pro-Sauvage original guys tend to be about 20y younger than Dave looks, but again - to each their own!

    This stuff is the longest lasting fragrance I have ever owned, I sprayed 2 sprays from a little sample bottle on my shirt at my high school homecoming in early fall, it still smelled in june when it was time for senior ball. Granted the shirt was never washed but still incredible. Really easy to overdo it and get a headache though so I’d recommend 1-1.5 sprays

  • @bellamybomb
    @bellamybomb Год назад +2

    Blind bought Elixir a few weeks ago (smelt it briefly in a store) - loved the opening notes and it blew me away, but somehow on my skin and after the drydown, I actually felt exactly the same as what you just described. Its way too loud and perhaps not in a good way, so it actually greatly disappointed me. Overly sweet and spicy for my liking, almost a little cloying - I guess I just wasn't expecting something so sweet

  • @BigMExpress
    @BigMExpress Год назад

    With Sauvage Elixer, I get moderate strength and projection. Longevity is about 2 hours. I get the amber note. The grapefruit smells more like lemon to me. Then there is a dry, spicy component. I assume it a combination of cardamom, patchouli, sandalwood, and lavender. However, I get none of the outstanding qualities of these dry, spicy notes.

  • @marcosschneider7052
    @marcosschneider7052 8 месяцев назад

    I think it's great IN MODERATION. Tellingly, it is rarely left out on shop floors for people to spray willy nilly, the first time I sampled it I had a shop assistant spray half squirt on my arm and it was a love. I took it away with me and I quickly got tired of it - and made the mistake one time of over-spraying. Big mistake! Now I only wear it occasionally, but enjoy it very much when I do. I restrict myself to one, maximum two sprays. A single spray on the chest in the morning can suit most occasions throughout the year, at least in temperate climates.

    This fragrance is better suited for fall, winter, and spring IMO.
    It is an amazing fragrance, and one of my favourites that I will always keep in my collection.
    I don’t think I’d wear it on a date. I think it’s too strong, even with only two sprays. LNDL EDT would be better for that.
    I totally disagree with you
    Sauvage Elixir has an amazing dry down. I smell it on my jacket collar days later and it smells great.
    Oh well. To each his own.
    It’s one of my top 5. :)
    I love Sauvage Parfum too.

  • @professorx8258

    Hey, Mr. Daver!!!! I tried Sauvage Elixir several months ago...and this fragrance is just ehhh to me. Another yellow light fragrance to me that doesn't compete well with other designer fragrances. Don't get it twisted; it is not complete garbage, however, but I believe that there are far better lavender fragrances in the market, especially with fragrances like Bogart Pour Homme and Black Gold by Mancera. Thanks for the video, Mr. Daver!!! In Daver We Trust!!!!

  • @ggeorgeherny
    @ggeorgeherny 11 месяцев назад

    It is true Exilir does not smell like the Savauge Dior cologne or EDP. It is loud and almost reminds of something you would wear for a party but not for work. The name should be different. Unlike, it but it took me a while to like. I like once it past a hour or so. It lasts for the whole night and morning for me. So it's loud!

    I don’t think it smells like Sauvage, but I actually appreciate them using the Sauvage branding on this to traffic in more interest from the masses. This is basically an absolute beast mode, blue-ish version of Guerlain Heritage. I ALWAYS get a compliment wearing Sauvage Elixir, and the fragrance is also a great deal because all you need is one or two sprays every 24 hours and you’re good.
    So yeah, take Guerlain Heritage EDT, sprinkle it with Jo Malone Cypress & Grapevine, and then somehow make the mixture have beast mode projection and longevity. I think it’s a 10/10

  • @michaelgerardgosiengfiao9560
    @michaelgerardgosiengfiao9560 Год назад

    I live in a tropical country where it is usually warm & humid. I think 4-5 sprays of this Elixir just does not cut it for me considering its ridiculous price point. The scent is amazing but the projection takes only about 2 hours, after which I can hardly smell it. I had to have a sniff on my skin or shirt just to smell its presence again. The longevity on clothes is about 5-6 hours max though. That’s my first impression on my initial full wearing & I’m kinda disappointed… Does my living in a warm humid environment have anything to do with this? Or am I having “nose blindness”?… I bought the 100ml size & really paid quite a hefty price.

    • @BlakeKross
      @BlakeKross 11 месяцев назад +1

      With all due respect I suspect your bottle is either from a defective batch or fake, or you are going noseblind to it. I usually use about 4-6 sprays in the summer of typical designer frags that have moderate projection and performance. Generally I’m not afraid to be “loud” when it comes to fragrances but i hardly ever experience olfactory fatigue.. This stuff is nuclear compared to that. If it’s 70f outside or above I’m afraid to spray this more than twice because it is quite honestly BY FAR the strongest designer fragrance on the market that I have tried and even more so in the heat..I’ve sprayed it on my hand and have been able to smell it 12 hours later after a shower. I bought mine at a retailer so I know it’s authentic. I highly doubt you got a legit bottle or there is something in it that’s causing you to go noseblind to it.

    I will say, out of the 3 high quality fragrances I have, the Elixir is the best one. It outperforms the other two I have. I’m 23 so even tho it might smell more mature, that’s what I like. I like Fragrances that smell mature and masculine. Not so much on the Youthful side. Not that that’s a bad thing, but I just prefer mature scents.

  • @renerodriguez2364
    @renerodriguez2364 6 месяцев назад

    Reminds me a little of Angel for Men which also lasts 12-14 hrs. I personally really like Sauvage Elixer…less/fewer sprays is better than putting on too much. It’s definitely for an older crowd 30yrs+ as it has a very mature refined scent.
    I would NOT agree with this reviewers opinion that Elixir smells terrible after the dry-down….quite the opposite. Elixir takes out all of the opening notes from the parfume version and goes straight to what the parfume smells like after dry-down.
    I personally researched all 4 versions of Savage and even interviewed one of the Dior expert sales reps regarding all 4 versions. Again, less is best to start out with with where Elixir is concerned. One can always add another spray if necessary or even layer it with another scent if the user desires.
    As a stand alone fragrance…make no mistake, Elixir is the BEST that the Sauvage line has to offer for men.

Gotta be careful when seeing "amber" as a base note because it's almost always a rubbing alcohol-smelling woody amber these days. As molecules, they're technically musks. But brands just try to brunt the edge with spices, resins and sweetness. Niche brands too!
