The review

On paper, Ciel Elixir is a strong bet if you want Sauvage Elixir for less.

Montagne Parfums 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 $40 it costs 80% less than Sauvage Elixir.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Montagne Parfums 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 Ciel 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.
