Dior Sauvage Elixir

You can buy the genuine Dior Sauvage Elixir straight from FragranceNet.com. The real bottle comes first; the accessible alternatives below are there if you'd rather spend less.

Dior Sauvage Elixir opens with Grapefruit, Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Cardamom; a heart of Lavender and Patchouli; drying down to Vetiver, Licorice, Amber and Coumarin, from notes Dior (official) publishes. Those notes read as citrus, spicy, aromatic, woody, amber, the coarse families Christian Dior Official US Website cites. How it wears depends on your skin and the concentration. We only publish notes and accords we can trace to a source.

The genuine Dior Sauvage Elixir runs $209.99 at FragranceNet.com as of this page's last update, though retailers set their own prices and change them; the "smells-like" alternatives start around $12.95.

We rank the "smells-like" alternatives to Sauvage Elixir by how closely their cited accords match the original, cheapest first. A dupe is meant to evoke Sauvage Elixir, not match its formula, and we say as much. If we can't verify a genuine match yet, we leave it off.

Dior Sauvage Elixir is listed as a men's fragrance by the retailer. That's a marketing label, not a rule: fragrance has no gender, and plenty of "men's" scents are worn by anyone. We show how it's sold and leave the wearing to you.

Unbranded Sauvage Elixir is the alternative we list first for Sauvage Elixir, ranked on shared cited accords then price, at $12.95 against $209.99 for the genuine bottle.

It's meant to evoke Sauvage Elixir, not replicate it, so we link the real bottle first and let you judge for yourself.

Yes. We also cover Sauvage and Eau Sauvage, each with its own page. Concentration changes the strength and often the balance of the scent, so we list the versions separately.
