The review
On paper, Farouche Elixir is a strong bet if you want Sauvage Elixir for less.
ALT Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Sauvage Elixir's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $82 per 100ml it costs 75% less than Sauvage Elixir — the 19th cheapest of 21 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength ALT Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on grapefruit, cinnamon and nutmeg, turns to lavender and liquorice, and settles into sandalwood, amber and patchouli. That is the brief Farouche Elixir is working from.
Top
- grapefruit
- cinnamon
- nutmeg
Heart
- lavender
- liquorice
Base
- sandalwood
- amber
- patchouli
Cinnamon and liquorice over dense woods, the loud, addictive evening Sauvage.
