Pros & Cons
- ✅ The only fragrance I own with cinnamon... very sophisticated hint of cinnamon... becomes the sexiest smell ever.
- ✅ potent, spicy powerhouse... one of my all time favorite designers ever.
- ✅ Ultra masculine, different from the other Sauvages... undisputed king of Sauvage.
- ✅ potent, spicy powerhouse. one of my all time favorite designers ever, masculine scent that projects and performs like crazy, best flanker of the sauvage line
- ✅ This is one of the best scents I've ever smelled. I've found myself desperately looking for something else that can satisfy like this one.
- ✅ Sauvage Elixir is a dictator in an empty palace. This is what the man smells like who won the trial, the woman, the city.
- ✅ Simply brilliant, reminds me of the Lancome powder my grandmother used, but this is far from a 'Granny scent'. This perfume lifts you up, is radiant and aromatic and will generate many compliments.
- ✅ Gorgeous summer scent, genderless, a clean geranium/vetiver. As with most offerings from this house, it is elegant, refined, and interesting.
- ✅ Opens with geranium, a minute later I can clearly smell cardamom and pepper. There's an elegant touch of elemi in there and a great blend of woods in base. Very versatile and amazing fragrance.
- ❌ What a disgusting perfume... reeks of bad taste and even worse decisions.
- ❌ super herbal, smells terrible imo and is the only fragrance that gives me a headache.
- ❌ Smells exactly like toilet cleaner... just trash.
- ❌ What a disgusting perfume. I can only imagine that its high rating is on account of all the “performance bros” who think that because this monstrosity can be smelled from across the dance floor, then that’s somehow a good thing even though it reeks of bad taste and even worse decisions.
- ❌ super herbal, smells terrible imo and is the only fragrance that gives me a headache
- ❌ I’d rather get skinned alive than smell this again
- ❌ Let me save you a lot of money and aggravation; don't fall in love with the idea of this fragrance. ... Very weak scent. ... This stuff is very faintly geranium, a skin scent on me anyway within 15 minutes.
- ❌ The opening on the smelling strip was mindblowing; ... On skin, I quickly lost the spices and incense, along with any possible geranium, under an overwhelming, choking dose of Too Much Pepper. ... At no point do I get anything I might even speculate could be geranium.
