After three rounds happily knocked out
I've never written a fragrance review before and wouldn't call myself a professional or particularly talented. But this fragrance prompts me to tell you about my encounter with Sauvage Elixir.
I'll come clean: I'm a huge Dior fan! But Sauvage... It's difficult. It's like the FC Bayern of the perfume world. Not necessarily always better than the others, but always delivers.
A few years ago one of my lieblinge, today I prefer to reach for Dior Homme.
But somehow he haunts me. So at least a part of him. Everywhere I smell Ambroxan, I long back to him.
So when I was stocking up on Dior Homme original the other day while on vacation in Amsterdam, I got this little damn beautifully made Elixir sample to go with it. A new Sauvage, how great, who needs that...
A few evenings later before going to bed, but I overcame the curiosity: A drop on the back of the hand and off to bed. Now you have to say that I sleep badly anyway and wake up several times at night. Every time I woke up that night, I smelled it on the back of my hand and I was... ...thrilled! There was something about that scent that made me feel really happy. So the night put the thought in my head to consider this fragrance a little closer.
Two days later it went to the perfumery: Two sprays left and right behind the ear, one behind the head and one on the back of the hand. Then it was off across town.
And who is still reading now, finally gets an Elixir review!
The opening slayed me! Louis de Funès hits me spicy muscat with dark grapefruit around the ears. So the first impression is already very good. However, I should apply the next time one or two sprays less.
Round two after about 20- 30 minutes: Suddenly overtakes me a wave of sweet syrup together with a freshness, which reminded me of the wet shave of my grandpa as a child.... In the poritive sense, of course... Sweet, fresh, totally barbershop. And it stays that way for quite a while. Again and again, odor clouds Elixir knock me over, even after hours. I don't know what I like better so far, the beginning or this long-lasting phase.
About 4-5 hours later, the last round awaits me: what is this? I know that ... That is yet!? Ambroxan! There it is again, this old familiar, with which one spends time so gladly. Like that feeling when it snows at the end of December and you're looking forward to Christmas. It just feels good!
Now I'm sitting here on the night shift and I just reapplied a few drops of the Elixir. Simply because it makes me happy. Smell good is one thing, but there are few that trigger emotions. For me there is Zino, because it reminds me of my father when I was little. But this one is different. I want to smell him! Every single phase and facet!
Conclusion:
Fragrance: 9.5 of 10
3 phases fragrance, which pick ME up each in its own way. However, this is the individual Geschmakspart and I can only evaluate my point of view.
Sillage: 10 of 10
There are (to date) Only three fragrances, which I smell on myself permanently and even after a long time. Dior Homme perfume, Eisenberg le Peche and Saucage Elixir! Absolutely strong and present fragrance that wants to be well dosed!
Durability: 10 of 10
On the skin for myself to date 8-10 hours perceptible, on the clothes much longer!
Flacon: 6 of 10
Small and thick. There are nicer, there are worse...
Price: Not assessable.
This is where it gets tricky... On the one hand, it's quite a chunk and quite a lot in comparison and others of its caliber. On the other hand, what he does is fully perfect and the price probably prevents a massenphänonem as then with the EDT. 100ml would have been super, but well.
I hope the whole thing is not too confused written and I can in one or the other a certain curiosity awaken.
That for reading!
