Note that one reviewer mentioned that Sauvage Elixir is a bolder and more distinctive project than the original Sauvage, with a blend of crowd-pleasing and risk-taking facets. The fragrance opens with a liquorice note that is biting and sticky, evoking the same inky, sappy, fennel-caramel note of Eau Noire and Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin, adorned with sudsy lavender foam per Cool Water, frothy and slightly oceanic, connecting dihydromyrcenol’s tart green, leafy edge with the original Sauvage’s acidic pineapple juice and salty ambroxan, punctuated by flecks of chilli-hot cinnamon and dusty nutmeg.
