OK, I see the Sauvage Elixir comparisons…
… but NO, it is not in the same ballpark. To quote the great Jules Winnfield: “ain't the same ballpark, it ain't the same league, it ain't even the same f**in' sport.”
it’s BARELY a SHADOW of SE.
On PAPER, it seems much more similar, but on skin? Right off the bat you feel it twisting away from any hints of similarity. You get a much fruitier opening, and the licorice/leathery feel that makes you think it might be similar on paper becomes much more porous, and spreads too thin to even come close.
Is it bad? No. But if you’re looking for a substitute or clone, this isn’t it.
There is a HINT of a similarity. A very tiny whisper. You WILL recognize that it is indeed SE that it is trying to shine as. But no, it is its own animal.
A much sweeter, much softer, fruity feeling one. It still has a “darkness” to it. A licorice note makes itself present throughout, and a hint of smokiness comes out with the leather.
Performance wise, it’s not even a close comparison. This one isn’t bad by any means, but SE is a rabid, angry Sasquatch compared to it. The projection radius is barely 2-3ft, and the sillage trail is MUCH lighter. It will sit and radiate for a while, but don’t expect it to be anywhere near what SE does. Longevity is great, however, but it is a long lasting SKIN scent that goes 12+ hours easily.
If you look at it as its own entity, it’s a dark, fruity smokey leathery feeling licorice scent that lasts a good bit. Worthy of the $$? I wouldn’t buy it again, and I think the edt is better. If you are looking for an SE substitute, this is NOT it.
A nice scent. I don’t regret trying it. Not a room filler by any means, and it isn’t what it’s being hyped up to be. If you’re thinking about trying it, I’d say this; if SE is your motivation, buy SE (there’s a 100ml now). If you want something slightly different then the trending frags, and don’t mind spending some coin, give it a shot.
