The review

Salvo Elixir scores 7.2 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Sauvage Elixir.

Maison Alhambra 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 $20 it costs 90% less than Sauvage Elixir.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Maison Alhambra 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

Dior Sauvage Elixir is grapefruit, cinnamon and nutmeg at first, lavender and liquorice at its heart and sandalwood, amber and patchouli at the end. Maison Alhambra set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Cinnamon and liquorice over dense woods, the loud, addictive evening Sauvage.
