Strong contender
FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Bold Caliber Elixir scores 7.3 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Sauvage Elixir.
Mod 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.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $45 it costs 77% less than Sauvage Elixir.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Mod 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
Dior Sauvage Elixir is grapefruit, cinnamon and nutmeg at first, lavender and liquorice at its heart and sandalwood, amber and patchouli at the end. Mod Fragrances set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- grapefruit
- cinnamon
- nutmeg
Heart
- lavender
- liquorice
Base
- sandalwood
- amber
- patchouli
Cinnamon and liquorice over dense woods, the loud, addictive evening Sauvage.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
