I want to do it justice
SO MANY BAD REVIEWS?!

so, i have owned the EDT, EDP, and this PARFUM version of sauvage. And I really want to help you to discern what is true about this fragrance, because so many people, because of olfactory fatigue, bash this fragrance for its lack of performance...

Ok! so let's compare.
IMO, the EDP is the least sweet version of sauvage, while having the BEST performance and having the most prominent ambroxan note. If you owned the EDP, you'll know that when you spray it on your neck and the juice gets on your shirt collar, even after you wash it, you can smell a very prominent, beautiful and metallic medicinal ambroxan.

Parfum, while not having the beast mode of EDP, is still very viable. THE KEY to be able to smell it is to spray it at least half arm length away from yourself to let the midst cover a large area, and only do 1-2 sprays. if you do this on your stomach area, I guarantee you you can smell it strongly for at least 5 hours, afterwards it settles down a bit but never a skin scent. The Parfum really reminds me more of the edt than the edp, but with added sandalwood richness.

The Parfum also won't project more than 3 feet away from you after it settles so it is significantly more office friendly. to tell you a story, when I first smelled sauvage edt it was on someone else, I didn't know what it was I was smelling but my initial thought was the person who was wearing it is an arrogant asshole. It smelled good but I laughed to myself, yeah, that person is exactly an ass of a person. The scent was incredibly aggressive so I don't think people would perceive it positively.

One note DIOR mentioned that I DO NOT perceive at all is the tonka bean. A lot of people say this fragrance is powdery. I don't get that at all. to my nose, after the initial mandarin sourness recedes, all I get is a very pleasant yet strong mixture of sandalwood and ambroxan aroma.

In conclusion:
IMO, Sauvage is the best blue scent DNA, reason being that it has character. My collection mainly consists of old school classic scents like habit rouge edt, eau sauvage edt etc... But you know, once in a while I really miss the linear ambroxan stuff.
Smellwise I truly think the EDP is the best because I perceive the ambroxan the most in that composition. However, I don't think it is as wearable due to its monstrous performance.

PARFUM for the win!

Extremely breathtaking
First skeptical about the purchase from reading lots of reviews from every existing perfume community, without any neglect for YouTube. There were thunderous echoes of performance issues, redundancy and the likes.

As much as i was interested by half, i also didn’t want to spend that amount on something with “regrets” written all over.

I began testing this bottle in every fragrance store i could step into, doubts started forming, “could it be this same bottle that received numerous hate online”? No it can’t be, why are people talking down on this absolute masterpiece? I had no idea, finally i picked up a bottle and i can say for a FACT that this is the best sauvage i ever owned. From the aesthetically pleasing bottle, to the scent itself, breathtaking.

Do not hesitate, you will love it. Sauvage parfum checks every single box, at least for me.

The best of the Sauvage family
First thing first: I really-really hate the Sauvage EDT. Its a terrorizing, headache-making fragrance with way too much sillage. (Prada Luna Rossa Carbon is the ambrox-without-pain pick for me)

So its a really big thing from me, but its one of the best fragrances for me now. No terrorizing sillage, no headache, nothing negative to mention here. But there is a less fresh, but definately Sauvage DNA with much more spicyness, and a much more mature overall feeling. If Sauvage EDT is the problematic leather jacket guy in the back of the classrom in a high school, than Sauvage parfum is the same guy, but after a degree and 2-3 years of work :)

So if someone hate the Sauvage EDT, but looking for a not overpowering, everyday spicy fragrance-- then here we are.

Sauvage Family of Fragrances - Excellent and Versatile
This is a combined review of Sauvage EDT, EDP, Parfum and Elixir after having tested all four on consecutive days. The Sauvage line, in general, is very popular for a reason. These are excellent, masculine fragrances that are very versatile, working any time of the day, any day of the year, hot or cold or in between. They are also very people pleasing in that most who smell these perfumes on a guy will say they are pleasant scents and attractive. Thus, they are all an easy grab for most situations. They also work for most men of any age. Dior quality is evident in all four perfumes.

There is a concern about the popularity and not standing out with them or being unique. I can't address that aspect because I live in a rural area where the vast majority of men do not wear any fragrance at all. So, no problem for me.

Regarding how different the four perfumes are from each other, I'd say the Sauvage DNA is quite clearly shared in the EDT, EDP and Parfum while the Elixir is more distant. As an analogy, I'd say the EDT, EDP and Parfum are like brothers while the Elixir is a cousin. Still, the EDT, EDP and Parfum are sufficiently unique that it isn't redundant to own all three if you like the different aspects of each.

To sum up these aspects, the EDT is more citrusy, the EDP is smoother, rounder and creamier than the EDT while the Parfum is a more woody version of the EDP. The Elixir is a more warm spicy fragrance with touches of cinnamon and licorice.

If a guy is unsure about which to get, I highly recommend purchasing samples of all four and wearing each on separate consecutive days. That's what I did. This is a much better approach than sniffing all four on test strips in a store. My personal choice is to go with the EDP and the Elixir as I do not have a goal to own all four just for the sake of a complete collection. Of course this is subjective, but the EDP and the Elixir were the most appealing to me.

Performance of the EDT, EDP and Parfume are all quite good with the EDP having the best performance for me. The Elixir is in a class by itself - a truly beast mode fragrance that requires experimentation to determine the quantity to apply. It can easily become overwhelming if too much is applied. The Elixir allows you to fill a room and leave a trail for sure!

It just dissapears after 1 hour!!!!
It was a shock for me!
I choose to buy the Parfum flanker instead of EDT and EDP because I found it richer, deeper, well blended, and not too sharp and metallic, like the EDT/EDP.
But after 1 hour it becomes a nothing scent!!!. It simply doesn't exists!!
A parfum of double price of EDT and no one cannot smell it!!!
Now I use it, instead of cream, as a skin moisturizing layer, under Blue De Chanel. I didn't find any better use of it.!!

In any office building in midtown NYC (during pre-Corona times) you could smell almost EVERYONE wearing this scent. Too common.

Sauvage Parfum smells like the EDT but very toned down. The Ambroxan is not so harsh, the scent is smoother but the performance is weaker.

This is the most versatile SAUVAGE, and it works great in the cooler months. The smoothest, deepest, most refined Sauvage outside of Elixir.

After an uplifting and spicy citric-fruity opening, this smooth and powdery Oriental Fougère, settles on a warm and spicy earthy-woody base.

This is the least interesting in the Sauvage line thanks to the vanilla/tonka combo. Still, it's a solid option if Sauvage EDT is too dense.

A much nicer version of the Sauvage DNA of which I disliked EDT as well as EDP, (too much metallic/ambroxen). This one is perfect. In my top 10!!!
