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.
  • Its pyramid opens on cardamom, patchouli, lavender, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • More recent creation (2021, against 2007).
  • No tracked point of sale to date.

Why choose L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Intense

  • yuzu, bergamot, white musk: all materials absent from Sauvage Elixir.
  • Launched in 2007, it has 19 years of life behind it.
  • 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
