How is it calculated?

These markers are an editorial estimate calculated automatically from the perfume's real accords and their intensity, following the classic reading of scent families (hesperidics and aromatics shine in summer and at the office, ambers and gourmands in winter and in the evening…). They do not come from user votes and do not replace a test on skin.

Why choose one… or the other?

Why choose Adventure

  • oakmoss, pepper, vetiver: all materials absent from Sauvage Elixir.
  • Launched in 2008, it has 18 years of life behind it.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.

Why choose Sauvage Elixir

  • Extrait de Parfum against eau de toilette: more material, and a longer expected longevity.
  • Its pyramid opens on cardamom, lavender, amber, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Warmth wins out, with warm spicy and amber in support.
  • It is 13 years younger (2021 against 2008).
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Sauvage Elixir — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette

  • Most enveloping

    Sauvage Elixir — signature carried by warm spicy and amber
