Not just a flanker. Not just a hit.
Sauvage Elixir is a global phenomenon engineered molecule by molecule — proof that mainstream perfumery can still be complex, uncompromising, and wildly modern.
It opens with the crackling intensity of Guatemalan cardamom, pink pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a burst of lavandin and grapefruit — real essential oils, not aroma clichés.
But beneath that spice storm lies a technical engine:
Ambroxan, Ambrocenide, Iso E Super, Cashmeran, and Evernyl shape a dry, luminous backbone with extreme projection and sculptural clarity.
Musks and macrolides stretch the sillage without dulling its edge. Hedione, Globalide, and Vanillin bring lift, texture, and staying power — no sweetness, no softness, just control.
This is not perfumery by instinct. It’s perfumery by design.
François Demachy didn’t just revisit Sauvage. He rebuilt it from scratch.
