Sauvage Elixir by Dior opens warm and spiced, with cardamom, cinnamon and nutmeg layered over a flash of grapefruit. Lavender holds the centre, keeping it aromatic rather than purely sweet, before the base turns dense: amber, Haitian vetiver, licorice, patchouli and sandalwood, dark and resinous rather than fresh. Launched in 2021, it wears best on men who don't mind a scent that announces itself. Voters reach for it across autumn and winter, worn by day, in the evening and at night alike. Most wearers vote its longevity long-lasting, and sillage voters call it strong, so a couple of sprays carry. A 3ml decant shows you quickly whether this much intensity suits you before you buy more.

The community verdict
Cinnamon and grapefruit give Sauvage Elixir a spicy, bright start before lavender, amber and licorice settle in. Most find it long-lasting with strong projection. It fits autumn evenings best, though winter and daytime work too, and suits someone who likes a bold, warm-spiced style.

The house
More from Dior
Dior began in France in 1946 as the fashion house of Christian Dior, and in 1947 it released its first perfume, Miss Dior. The scents today swing between bright and plush: bergamot and citrus on one side, powdery iris and vanilla on the other, with jasmine, rose and patchouli as recurring threads. Hypnotic Poison is the dark, almond-and-vanilla one. J'adore goes the opposite way, a glowing bouquet of white flowers with a fruity lift. Sauvage is fresh and peppery over amber, and Dior Homme Intense turns iris into a soft, woody skin scent.
