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 Hot Water
- Its pyramid opens on oak, labdanum, guaiac wood, nowhere to be found opposite.
- Launched in 2008, it has 18 years of life behind it.
- More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: oak, star anise).
- Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.
Why choose Sauvage Elixir
- Richer concentration (Extrait de Parfum against Eau de Toilette): higher theoretical longevity.
- cardamom, patchouli, amber: all materials absent from Hot Water.
- 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 — an extrait de parfum formula against an eau de toilette
-
Most enveloping
Sauvage Elixir — signature carried by warm spicy and amber
-
Most original
Hot Water — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (oak, star anise)
