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 Sauvage Elixir

  • It is more concentrated — Extrait de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • Facets Play does not have: cardamom, lavender, amber.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by warm spicy and amber.
  • Released in 2021, when the other dates from 2008.
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

Why choose Play

  • It brings what the other lacks — bergamot, mint, ambroxan.
  • 18 years of existence (2008): it has proved itself for longer.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

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
