Index: /llms.txt # Sauvage Elixir Dupes 2026: 4 Clones vs the Original Four Sauvage Elixir dupes, ranked by what Parfumo members report and what each house lists, and where each differs. 10ML sells the original Dior Sauvage Elixir as a 3ml or 10ml decant to wear first. By [Michael Edwards](https://10ml.com/authors/michael-edwards) · Updated: 28 October 2026 · 7 min read **We sell only the originals.** Every perfume we sell is the authentic original, decanted from the perfume house’s own bottle. We buy our bottles from authorized EU distributors and directly from the brands, and 10ML decants every perfume itself. We never sell dupes, clones or inspired-by perfumes. This guide compares the dupes other houses make of Sauvage Elixir, so you can choose, or wear the original first. [Or try the original from €11.97](https://10ml.com/perfumes/dior-sauvage-elixir) ## Quick answer The best [Sauvage Elixir](https://10ml.com/perfumes/dior-sauvage-elixir) dupe overall is Enigma Une by French Avenue, which pairs a near-complete shared note list with a strong member vote on Parfumo's comparison. Lattafa's Asad, the most-voted perfume on those comparisons, and Montblanc's Explorer Extreme are similar originals that 10ML stocks. Want the real thing? Sauvage Elixir is €35.28 for a 10ml decant at 10ML. You can try the original, [Sauvage Elixir](https://10ml.com/perfumes/dior-sauvage-elixir), at 10ML as a 10 ml decant, before you choose a dupe. ## Prefer the original? **Sauvage Elixir** · Dior · Decanted from the original bottle - [3ml €11.97 · €3.99/ml](https://10ml.com/perfumes/dior-sauvage-elixir?size=3ml) - [10ml €35.28 · €3.53/ml](https://10ml.com/perfumes/dior-sauvage-elixir?size=10ml) The alternatives: €0.28–€1.34/ml in other shops, checked 12 October 2026 ## What does Sauvage Elixir smell like? Sauvage Elixir by Dior launched in 2021 as a men's perfume. Its listed top notes are cardamom, cinnamon, grapefruit and nutmeg, so the opening is built from spice and citrus. Lavender sits in the heart. The base lists amber, Haitian vetiver, licorice, patchouli and sandalwood. [Cinnamon](https://10ml.com/notes/cinnamon) and [cardamom](https://10ml.com/notes/cardamom) lead the opening, [lavender](https://10ml.com/notes/lavender) holds the middle, and [vetiver](https://10ml.com/notes/vetiver) and [amber](https://10ml.com/notes/amber) anchor the base. That list is the yardstick for every clone below. A bottle that keeps the spice and licorice but drops the amber is a different perfume, and each section says where. ## Sauvage Elixir is not Sauvage This guide covers the Elixir only. It has its own note list, so a clone that members voted against plain Sauvage tells you little here. Every pick below was either compared with the Elixir itself on Parfumo or described against it by its own house. If you came for the plain Sauvage, read our guide to [Dior Sauvage dupes](https://10ml.com/guides/dior-sauvage-dupes), and read [how Sauvage and Sauvage Elixir differ](https://10ml.com/guides/sauvage-vs-sauvage-elixir) before you shop for either. ## Sauvage Elixir alternatives compared Bottle prices in other shops, as checked 12 October 2026 Perfumes made and sold by other houses. 10ML does not sell them. | # | Alternative | Role | Basis of comparison | Source | Bottle price | Per ml | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Enigma Une (French Avenue) | Best overall | Named source | [Source](https://www.parfumo.de/compare/french-avenue/enigma-une/vs/Dior/sauvage-elixir) | €27.95 (100 ml) | €0.28/ml | | 2 | Ambassador Intense (Gisada) | Fresher take | Named source | [Source](https://www.parfumo.de/compare/Gisada/ambassador-intense/vs/Dior/sauvage-elixir) | €66.99 (50 ml) | €1.34/ml | | 3 | Big Sur (FIORE) | Sweeter take | Named source | [Source](https://fioreparfums.de/products/big-sur) | €45.00 (50 ml) | €0.90/ml | | 4 | Kiage 112 (Kiage) | Premium alternative | Named source | [Source](https://kiage.de/products/kiage-112-sauvage-elixir-duftzwilling) | €49.00 (50 ml) | €0.98/ml | ## Best overall: Enigma Une Enigma Une by French Avenue leads on two things: the vote and the note list. On Parfumo's comparison page, 51 of 54 voting Parfumo members mark it as similar to Sauvage Elixir. It is a smaller vote than some, but 51 of 54 agree. Its note table lists the same nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon and grapefruit opening, the same lavender heart, and a base of licorice, patchouli and Haitian vetiver. The difference sits in that base: Sauvage Elixir adds amber and sandalwood, and Enigma Une's table does not. Choose Enigma Une if the note list matters most to you. You are buying the Elixir's frame with a base that is two notes shorter, going by the lists. The basis is the [Parfumo comparison of Enigma Une and Sauvage Elixir](https://www.parfumo.de/compare/french-avenue/enigma-une/vs/Dior/sauvage-elixir). ## Fresher take: Ambassador Intense Ambassador Intense by Gisada sits further from the Elixir on its top notes. On Parfumo's comparison page, 211 of 284 voting Parfumo members mark it as similar to Sauvage Elixir. Both perfumes list licorice, nutmeg, grapefruit, cinnamon, patchouli and Haitian vetiver. The difference is what Ambassador Intense adds. On top it lists mandarin, bergamot, ginger and an ozonic note, and in the heart it lists raspberry and caramel. Those are the reason for the fresher slot: more citrus and a lifted opening, with a fruit and caramel heart that the Elixir does not list. Choose it if you like the Elixir's spice but want a lighter start. It is sold in a 50ml bottle, so compare it per ml rather than by bottle price. The basis is the [Parfumo comparison of Ambassador Intense and Sauvage Elixir](https://www.parfumo.de/compare/Gisada/ambassador-intense/vs/Dior/sauvage-elixir). ## Sweeter take: Big Sur Big Sur by FIORE rests on the house's own words alone, and no member vote backs it here. FIORE presents Big Sur as its Duftzwilling, the German word for a scent twin, of Sauvage Elixir. We treat that as FIORE's positioning, not as a measurement. What FIORE does list gives the sweeter slot. It describes cinnamon, lavender, liqueur notes and dark woods. The liqueur notes are the sweet part, and they are the difference from the Elixir's list, which has no liqueur. Choose Big Sur if the liqueur direction appeals and you accept that the only evidence is the house's description. The basis is [FIORE's page for Big Sur](https://fioreparfums.de/products/big-sur). ## Premium alternative: Kiage 112 Kiage 112 has no member vote behind it, only the house's description. Kiage says that 112 reminds it of Sauvage Elixir and sells it as a Sauvage Elixir Duftzwilling. We leave its claims about quality and wear with Kiage. The list is the useful part. Kiage lists grapefruit, cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg, then lavender, then sandalwood, amber, patchouli, vetiver and licorice. That matches the Elixir's named notes closely on paper, and it covers every note the Elixir lists. The premium slot comes from Kiage's own positioning of 112 as a Sauvage Elixir counterpart and from its price per ml in the table, which sits a step above the lowest-price picks. Choose it if you want the full note list and accept that the only source is Kiage. The basis is [Kiage's page for 112](https://kiage.de/products/kiage-112-sauvage-elixir-duftzwilling). ## Similar original perfumes we stock Different perfumes on 10ML that share lavender, vanilla and tonka bean. | # | Perfume | Main notes | 3 ml | 10 ml | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | [Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male](https://10ml.com/perfumes/jean-paul-gaultier-le-male) | Lavender, mint, cardamom and bergamot on top, cinnamon and orange blossom in the heart, vanilla, tonka bean, amber and cedar in the base. An aromatic, vanilla-led perfume. | €7.74 (€2.58/ml) | €20.79 (€2.08/ml) | | 2 | [Xerjoff XJ 1861 Naxos](https://10ml.com/perfumes/xerjoff-xj-1861-naxos) | Lavender, bergamot and lemon on top, honey, cinnamon, cashmeran and jasmine sambac in the heart, tobacco leaf, vanilla and tonka bean in the base. Sweet, vanilla-led and honeyed. | €11.43 (€3.81/ml) | €29.61 (€2.96/ml) | | 3 | [Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Elixir](https://10ml.com/perfumes/jean-paul-gaultier-le-male-elixir) | Lavender and mint on top, vanilla and benzoin in the heart, honey, tonka bean and tobacco in the base. Sweet, vanilla-led and amber-warm. | €7.29 (€2.43/ml) | €21.06 (€2.11/ml) | ## Clone or the original in 3ml? Price per ml compared The table on this page shows each clone's bottle price and price per ml, with the date we checked. Set that against the [original in a decant](https://10ml.com/guides/dupe-or-original-decant). Sauvage Elixir costs €3.99/ml per ml in a 3ml decant, €3.53/ml per ml in a 10ml and see the product page per ml in a 30ml. The sizes do different jobs. A 3ml decant gives about 60 sprays, enough to learn the opening and the late-day base for €11.97. The 10ml decant gives about 200 sprays, enough to wear the Elixir for weeks, and the 30ml decant gives about 600 sprays to keep. Read [what a perfume decant is](https://10ml.com/guides/what-is-a-perfume-decant) and [decant versus full bottle](https://10ml.com/guides/decant-vs-full-bottle) if you are choosing between them, and see the [price per ml index](https://10ml.com/guides/perfume-price-per-ml-index) for how the Elixir sits against other perfumes. The practical point is order. None of these picks is a sure match for your skin. Spend the smaller amount first, then buy the bottle that earns it. ## Other perfumes we stock in the same territory Two of the perfumes set beside the Elixir are originals 10ML stocks, so we list them as similar originals. [Asad](https://10ml.com/perfumes/lattafa-asad) by Lattafa has the largest vote on Parfumo's [comparison with Sauvage Elixir](https://www.parfumo.de/compare/Lattafa/asad-1/vs/Dior/sauvage-elixir): 685 of 792 voting members mark the two as similar, though patchouli is the only note both lists share, and Asad builds on black pepper, tobacco, coffee and vanilla. [Explorer Extreme](https://10ml.com/perfumes/montblanc-explorer-extreme) by Montblanc, a 2025 parfum, shares patchouli and vetiver on Parfumo's lists, and its own list also shows bergamot, amber and leather; on its [Parfumo comparison](https://www.parfumo.de/compare/Dior/sauvage-elixir/vs/Montblanc/explorer-extreme), 84 of 121 voting members find it similar. If you like the lavender and spice of the Elixir but want a different perfume, not a stand-in, three more bottles on 10ML sit nearby. [Le Male](https://10ml.com/perfumes/jean-paul-gaultier-le-male) and [Le Male Elixir](https://10ml.com/perfumes/jean-paul-gaultier-le-male-elixir) by Jean Paul Gaultier and [XJ 1861 Naxos](https://10ml.com/perfumes/xerjoff-xj-1861-naxos) by Xerjoff all list lavender, vanilla and tonka bean. They are their own perfumes with their own note lists, so read them as a new direction. For a wider view of what lasts on skin, our guide to the [best long-lasting perfumes for men](https://10ml.com/guides/best-long-lasting-perfumes-for-men) shows how to test before buying a bottle. ## How to test a Sauvage Elixir dupe Test on skin, not on paper. The Elixir's spice opening and its base of patchouli, vetiver and licorice change on skin, and a blotter shows you neither. 1. Spray the original on one wrist and a clone on the other arm, not the same arm. Note the first minute: how much cardamom and cinnamon you smell, and whether the grapefruit is there. 2. Wear the original alone on one day and the clone alone on another. This keeps the notes from blurring. 3. Judge the late-day base, once the top has settled. Is the licorice still there? Is the amber? That is where the lists split. 4. Compare against what you actually want. If you want the cardamom and lavender frame, Enigma Une or Kiage 112 list them. If you want sweeter, look at Big Sur. Order a 3ml of the original first, or a 10ml decant if you plan to wear it. Then your comparison uses the real Sauvage Elixir, not your memory of it. ## Clone or original? What to know first ### Can I wear Sauvage Elixir in 3ml or 10ml before I choose a clone? Yes. Sauvage Elixir comes as a 3ml decant for €11.97, a 10ml for €35.28 and a 30ml for see the product page. A 3ml gives about 60 sprays, a 10ml about 200 and a 30ml about 600. Start with the 3ml, then compare any clone against it on your own skin. ### Which Sauvage Elixir dupe leads your ranking, and why? Enigma Une by French Avenue leads because it pairs a strong vote with a near-complete shared note list: Parfumo's comparison page shows 51 of 54 voting members marking it as similar to Sauvage Elixir, and its table lists the same nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon and grapefruit opening and lavender heart. Its base lacks the Elixir's amber and sandalwood. ### How close does Enigma Une by French Avenue get to Sauvage Elixir? On the lists, close. Parfumo's note table gives Enigma Une the same nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon and grapefruit opening, a lavender heart, and licorice, patchouli and Haitian vetiver in the base. Sauvage Elixir adds amber and sandalwood, which Enigma Une's table does not list. Parfumo shows 51 of 54 voting members marking it as similar. ### Which clones list the same cardamom and lavender as Sauvage Elixir? Enigma Une by French Avenue and Kiage 112 by Kiage both list cardamom and lavender, and so does Sauvage Elixir. Ambassador Intense by Gisada shares licorice, nutmeg, grapefruit and cinnamon with the Elixir but lists lavender nowhere in Parfumo's comparison. Asad, a similar original that 10ML stocks, shares only patchouli. ### How do the Sauvage Elixir dupes compare per ml with a decant? The table on this page lists each clone's bottle price and price per ml, with the date we checked. A 10ml decant of Sauvage Elixir costs €3.53/ml per ml, and a 3ml decant costs €3.99/ml per ml. Ambassador Intense is a 50ml bottle, so compare it per ml, not by bottle price. ### Do clones of plain Sauvage work for Sauvage Elixir? Not reliably. The Elixir has its own note list, with cardamom, cinnamon, lavender, licorice and amber, so a clone voted against plain Sauvage tells you little. Choose from the picks compared against the Elixir itself, and read our guide to how Sauvage and Sauvage Elixir differ. ### How long will Sauvage Elixir stay on my skin? It depends on your skin and the weather, so we give no fixed time. Spray a 3ml decant on your wrist, go about your day, and check the base late in the evening. That tells you more than any number. ### Does 10ML sell dupes? No. 10ML sells only original perfumes. We buy our bottles from authorized EU distributors and directly from the brands, and 10ML decants every perfume itself. The dupes in this guide are other houses’ perfumes, and we don’t sell them. You can wear the original first from €11.97. ## Sources - [Asad vs Sauvage Elixir, Parfumo comparison](https://www.parfumo.de/compare/Lattafa/asad-1/vs/Dior/sauvage-elixir) - [Enigma Une vs Sauvage Elixir, Parfumo comparison](https://www.parfumo.de/compare/french-avenue/enigma-une/vs/Dior/sauvage-elixir) - [Ambassador Intense vs Sauvage Elixir, Parfumo comparison](https://www.parfumo.de/compare/Gisada/ambassador-intense/vs/Dior/sauvage-elixir) - [Explorer Extreme vs Sauvage Elixir, Parfumo comparison](https://www.parfumo.de/compare/Dior/sauvage-elixir/vs/Montblanc/explorer-extreme) - [Big Sur, FIORE](https://fioreparfums.de/products/big-sur) - [Kiage 112, Kiage](https://kiage.de/products/kiage-112-sauvage-elixir-duftzwilling) ## How we compared Each alternative is ranked by how closely it follows the notes and dry-down of Sauvage Elixir, on the basis shown for it in the table.
