Heart Note

• AOP Lavender from Nyons

Base Notes

Dior describes the opening as lively grapefruit surrounded by heady spices, followed by a specially selected lavender essence and a smooth, enveloping base of amber woods.

Sauvage Elixir begins with bright grapefruit immediately surrounded by warm cinnamon and nutmeg and the fresher aromatic spice of cardamom. Compared with the more citrus-forward Sauvage fragrances, the opening feels warmer and denser almost immediately.

Lavender becomes central through the heart. Dior's AOP lavender from Nyons has a fresh floral character with a subtle coumarin quality that can read as smooth, aromatic and gently vanilla-like rather than sharply medicinal.

The drydown becomes richer and darker, combining amber woods with smooth licorice, Haitian vetiver and patchouli. Overall, Sauvage Elixir smells spicy, aromatic, lavender-forward and woody with a subtly sweet, polished base.

Sauvage Elixir emphasizes warm spices, grapefruit, lavender and rich amber woods. Dior describes it as extraordinarily concentrated, and its profile is denser, warmer and more spice-forward than the Eau de Parfum.

Sauvage Eau de Parfum places greater emphasis on fresh Calabrian bergamot, vanilla and woody patchouli, retaining more of the recognizable bright citrus character associated with the Sauvage line.

If you prefer brighter citrus and a smoother vanilla-woody profile, Sauvage Eau de Parfum may be the more natural choice. If you want a richer interpretation centered on spice, aromatic lavender and deep woods, Sauvage Elixir offers a distinctly different experience.

Dior intentionally positions Sauvage Elixir as an extraordinarily concentrated fragrance, and its rich combination of spice, lavender and amber woods gives it a denser character than several other fragrances in the Sauvage collection.

Its warm and spicy profile is particularly well suited to evenings, dinners, date nights, formal events and cooler-weather wear. A lighter application may also work in professional or daytime settings depending on personal preference.

Longevity, projection, and sillage can vary depending on skin chemistry, application, climate, and environment.

Sauvage Elixir differs substantially from the brighter Sauvage Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum. Its heavier emphasis on cinnamon, nutmeg, lavender, licorice and rich woods gives it a warmer and more concentrated personality.

A 3ml Sauvage Elixir sample lets you experience the fragrance over several wears and determine how its concentrated aromatic and spicy character develops on your skin before choosing a larger travel-size decant.

• 3ml Sample: Approximately 25–30 sprays
• 5ml Travel Spray: Approximately 40–50 sprays
• 10ml Travel Spray: Approximately 85–100 sprays
• 30ml: Approximately 250–300 sprays

Spray counts are estimates and may vary slightly depending on the atomizer and how each spray is applied.
