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.
  • It brings what the other lacks — patchouli, nutmeg, grapefruit.
  • aromatic and citrus pull it towards the bright and the lively.
  • Our calculated profile has it at ease in 8 situations out of 8, where the other holds 6.
  • No offer listed for the moment.

Why choose XS pour Homme

  • Facets Sauvage Elixir does not have: bergamot, white musk.
  • Launched in 1993, it has 33 years of life behind it.
  • 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

  • Freshest

    Sauvage Elixir — signature carried by aromatic and citrus

  • Most versatile

    Sauvage Elixir — 8 situations out of 8 suit it, against 6 for the other

  • Most original

    Sauvage Elixir — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (star anise, nutmeg)

Each trophy applies to a specific use, not in absolute terms.
