A completely different summer scent, nothing aquatic. It actually evokes vacation memories for me. The lime is really strong and fresh at the beginning, and as it develops, you genuinely think you’re smelling a cocktail; I also associate the scent with the thought of a sunny, hot sandy beach where many tourists are tanning. There’s a cocktail bar there serving delicious Pina Coladas to the crowds.

The coconut is a bit of an acquired taste for me. It is strongly noticeable from the start and remains present until the drydown.
In the drydown, "Endless Summer" smells slightly sweaty to me, as if you’re heading to the hotel to shower after a day at the beach under the sunshade.
Sprayed on the skin, the perfume smells more like lime than coconut; the scent experience is much fresher and spicier.

Anyone looking for an extraordinary summer fragrance will find it here.

Initially woody-warm with a distinct goat barn note. As it develops, more nuances become noticeable: earthy, mossy, or maritime, with some green notes. It also reminds me of straw or hay. Two years ago, I ordered a very similar oud oil from an eBay seller, I think it was called Oud Royal Bengali and was a bit cheaper.
The bottle disappointed me as the cap is also made of plastic, which doesn't match the high-quality packaging and the beautiful glass bottle.

For the fair price of about 45 euros, a good fragrance oil for lovers of animalic ouds.
Addendum: after a day, my sweater still smells, now distinctly of sweet hay with a hint of goat.

First spray: distinctly animalic and chemical, the scent actually reminds me of Uhu. After a while, Dehnal Oudh Ateeq becomes woody, with a clearly minty note and a hint of leather.
From here, I believe the fragrance should be nice for summer, as it increasingly becomes fruity-fresh and earthy, the perfume now reminds me of damp wood. There is no trace of animalic notes after just a few minutes.

I found the following fragrance pyramid online: Top - Geranium, Bergamot, Orange, Heart - Oud, Cloves, Saffron, Floral Notes, Base - Cedar, Amber, Musk, Sandalwood.

I think this description fits. The packaging is fine for the price, the bottle is really high quality. It is made of heavy, beautifully decorated glass, the cap and the bottom of the bottle are made of copper-colored metal, and the spray head also does a good job. Be careful when spraying, as the sillage is really strong.

Postscript: after more than three hours, the scent strongly reminds me of Dehn el Oud Mubarak.

Anyone expecting Oud will be disappointed. I also cannot understand the naming. Here is the fragrance pyramid from the internet - Top: Rose, Cinnamon, Middle: Incense, Patchouli, Base: Vanilla, Tonka, Benzoin, Oud.
The opening strongly resembles clove, with something woody and very sweet in the background. There is no development of the scent. Perhaps the fragrance also reminds one of damp wood; it may be that the perfume suits better in warm temperatures and high humidity. I believe I have smelled this scent somewhere as a child, possibly at my grandma's or mother's house. It feels quite familiar to me. I do not find it suitable for a man. The test took place in February 2024.
If you are looking for a strong animalistic Oud scent, you will find it in Oud Burmi by Al Waseef, which truly smells of country air.
Addendum 20.02.24: at my mom's it smells completely different: very fruity and woody, less clove - suits her much better :-)

After I recently tested the Dior Sauvage EDT again and suddenly became enthusiastic about it, I had to try this fragrance as well. The Elixir is supposed to be significantly better, which I cannot confirm.

Of course, everyone has a different sense of smell and different preferences, but I would only attribute a distant similarity to the "original" for the Elixir. The opening is much more lavender-heavy and sweeter, but the DNA of the EDT is clearly noticeable.
The Elixir comes across as fruitier and much stronger, more perfume-like, but later becomes tamer. The drydown smells completely different to me - like speculoos.

For comparison, here is my fragrance description for the EDT and EDP:

The opening is sweet-fresh and somewhat reminiscent of anise or licorice, with light pineapple and synthetic aquatic notes floating in the background. Everything feels finely tuned and well woven together, a certain creaminess further emphasizes the scent profile.
The drydown is very pleasant and somewhat greenish. I couldn't smell any insect repellent or anything chemical this time.
Either the formulation has changed, or my nose has become somewhat dulled, which could presumably be due to my first COVID-19 illness in March 2023.

I prefer the EDT significantly over the EDP as it is softer and finer. The EDP is not only stronger overall (more spice, synthetic), but unfortunately, it also briefly reminded me of toilet spray. The drydown here smells rather peppery and spicy, and the longevity and sillage are about the same for both.

The Sauvage perfume stands out completely for me:
Stronger, fruitier, more perfume-like, and mushier than the Sauvage EDT, the DNA is recognizable but more mainstream and nothing special.

I will change my rating for the EDT from 5.5 to 8.5. I would rate the EDP at 7.5 due to its too intense opening for me. I rate the perfume at 7 in comparison, and the Elixir at 7.5.

Of all four fragrances in the Sauvage line, I would thus describe the EDT as the most pleasant for me, and I will surely buy it in the coming months; my collection will then be complemented by a fresh all-weather fragrance.
