It’s weird to complain about a high price and that everyone will be wearing it, in the same sentence. The price itself, will eliminate most within your 100 mile radius…like it has eliminated you apparently.
@@golfbuddy1969 idiots don't have money because they spend it on Sauvage and alcohol stronger than the fragrance they're wearing so you can't even smell it.
@@olliekay7261 “idiots don’t have money” - you could have maybe stopped there. But you went on being even more illustrative. I would say immature people. Yes, many people will spend more on a bar tab on a weekend, than this costs, and this will last months if not years. I work hard, and don’t drink at all, and happen to have the money to get most of the things I want…fortunately…maybe there’s a correlation, or maybe not.
The lady at Dillard's sprayed Elixir on my hand, my wife and I walked all over the city having a great time, drove the 2 hours home, passed out when we got home, woke up, took a shower, dried off, got dressed and my hand still smelt like Elixir. I definitely think it's worth the money. And everybody says it doesn't bear any resemblance to the original Sauvage, but I think in the far dry down you definitely get some of that Sauvage DNA. I think it's fantastic. But I also like Sauvage, so what do I know?
Your at another level of reviews. It’s refreshing and amazing. I’m a newbie reviewer sorting my shtick still. Your honesty and approach makes me feel inspired. Cheers, always anxious to see your next!
George! Your videos are freakin awesome. The ending of this video was my fave part. As for Elixir, I never enjoyed Sauvage enough, in any form, to even contemplate buying a bottle of this. That price point is unfathomable. 👍
Love your take on it. I found this to be fantastic and thankfully I had the money to spend on this and not feel remorse. Im with you on the prices being insane overall for a lot of fragrances.
It’s 100% a compliment puller for me, the women in the office noticed it from a good 2-3 meters away. BUT it’s hard to justify that price tag on a designer even if it is an elixir concentration 🤷♂️
Sauvage has 10% muscenone, a very expensive musk in very high dosage. Most niche houses could not afford such a high dosage. Although I do not like it, I must say that the raw materials are very high quality.
I would have never thought I'd say that, but even Sauvage can be a good fragrance. This is Dior going back on track really, after the flop with Homme 2020, they made something which is relatively daring in designer sense. This has no chance of commercial success and I cannot wait to see when it hits discounters before it is ultimately discontinued. The quality is through the roof, leaves oil stains on skin, that's how strong it is - on clothes it lasts weeks. Opening is superb spicy, rich and unique. Mid to drydown very pleasant and never boring. I'm glad people at Dior's have the guts to still make things any fragrance enthusiast will love.
I am wearing it for the second time today. Already gotten a compliment and it’s just 9:00 in the morning. BTW- seeing the hair in the Parfum first reaction- nice haircut! Never underestimate the value of a good haircut. You can smell good, but if your hair is a train wreck, you’ve gained nothing. Was that subtle enough?
I absolutely love Elixir! Lucked out buying several bottles with a 15% discount at a major US department store. Nothing like Sauvage, thankfully 😅 compliments galore 🌟😍🌟
I initially liked this, like really liked this one, but found it annoying after a few hours. The spices are fine but there was a sweetness that just wouldn't go away. Maybe ambroxan? It just became kind of heavy and cloying. Just my two cents. Great review, loved the ending!
I’m pleased you like this. After much testing I decided to buy it. It’s the most I’ve ever paid for a fragrance and I don’t regret it one bit. It’s quite addicting, and very impressive to my nose. I’ll wear it a lot over the next 6 months. What other scents do you recommend in this vein? I’m not sure hot to think of this style, but I want more of it. Would you consider something like Hindu Kush to be cousins with this style? How was your holiday? Welcome back!
@NTR same here, most expensive frag I've ever bought too but you're right it's very impressive and I've just ordered one at £85 so a bit of a bargain if it arrives. As for an alternative? I would happily buy Ysl Y edp if I hadn't have splashed out on elixer.
Mate i love sauvage elixir. If you like this style you gotta check out the dna of oud for geratnes by initio. It’s very expensive (like 250 bucks for 90ml) but it has this dna plus oud. If you want a cheapie clone of that smell check out supremacy in oud by afnan, it’s a little less quality, yet a bit sweeter than oud for greatness but it’s only 35-50 bucks. It’s definitely in the same ballpark as sauvage but where sauvage uses licorice, oud for greatness and supremacy in oud use oud, both not real ouds btw.
This doesnt take away anything from the fact that your critique of fragrances is still second to none. So when you approve of Sauvage Elixir, it just shows that unlike the others from its line, this one must really be good. Surprising to see it finally happen, George! :)
Love that you are openly calling out the price this is exactly my thoughts. If we were able to see the mark up price of this fragrance I think people would boycott Dior. Its nice but I can get Nasomatto fragrances cheaper that are much higher quality.
@@rolfrau5743 instead of arguing my case over a youtube comment section I would suggest you purchase a bottle of either Duro or Pardon and see how much more masculine/individual/expensive you feel over wearing elixir. Elixir although nice doesn't fit well with me and still smells like it's trying to be safe.
its a quality juice couldn't initially get any of the metallic notes in the original but a few hours in they seemed to be lurking around the edges...where's that decant atomiser from?
Even just the end bit, where the video unceremoniously ends with you saving electricity is better - and more honest - than 99% of "fragcom's" wittering for the algorithms (apologies for the f-bomb). I've not touched fragrances after selling off my collection 3 years ago. But, I continue to watch your videos. A ringing endorsement if ever there was one.
New to the channel, but where did you get the decanted sample from? I can't find any Dior fragrances decanted. I was tempted to order it from the states and wait for 10 days or so when it was first released, but patience prevailed, and got it when it became available here in this sandbox metropolis. Damn, it was worth the wait. It might be the only actual glass bottle of cologne I travel with if I can't find it decanted.
Sales reps at Dior say you should layer, the edt with elixir for the best experience. No joke. Having said that it actually smells amazing layering the two.
Very Nice George! I agree George the prices have become stupid expensive now days...I have stopped buying them because of that...I mean i will buy it if it is some super duper good one otherwise i am done buying tell the prices come down to earth which i do not think will happen!
The price for a 60ml is high , but it’s a better quality than aventus and my god it lasts over a full day on me and my sleeve on my jacket , in fact the downstairs cloakroom were my jacket Is smells like there is a beautiful air freshener in there and I only sprayed a bit on my hand in boots and a bit went on the sleeve
Hi George, I look forward to your reviews and opinions in general whether I agree or not. I agree that this is massively overpriced and undersized and I only bought it through a sizeable discount online. I have given it a few full wearings now and I have to say that I love it and how well it works in the weather us Brits are currently experiencing. It garnered some amazing compliments especially from my barber who I presented a sample to afterwards. I would say sample it if you can and only buy it if you can get at 20% off the rrp which is £112 for 60ml
just to balance out the Sauvage review video, you should do a tier list video with whatever fragrances are on your mind! I would love to see your take on what you think are S tier, the A tier, the average C Tier and the F's. I don't think you should even have a theme, just do what's been on your mind and how you rank them! much respect, I've been following you for a couple years and like your style man! Peace
2 sprays will fill a room an last the whole day so to me its worth it my bottle will last a long time plus I already have a ton of fragrances an im not wearing it everyday
It is about $200 with tax here in Canada. That is only a 60ml too. However, Tom Ford has crazy high prices for a designer, so I guess Dior said we can too.
Yes a 50ml with a discount would be the way forward ! Very expensive at a 120 quid and headling into niche territory I imagine it will sell and you will smell it on the london transport system and all over the place like you did with aventus in recent times and the original sauvage
There’s no getting away from it, it’s good in fact it’s very good. Cost hmmmm you can get it around £90 if you drop on a deal still a little high but worth it. Of the line head and shoulders above the rest for me
Creed????? Seriously Aaron?? Watered down and ridiculous price. But yes price is insane. Almost 200 dollars for my 60 ml bottle here in Kingston Ontario Canada from Hudson Bay.
Great video George. Try 183 dollars for a mere 60 ml bottle in Ontario Canada. So 💲💲💰200 bills with taxes for my bottle which I purchased at Hudson Bay here in Kingston Ontario Canada. But ohhhh so worth it. Stay safe and healthy. Spero 🙂
I seem to be one of the few people who actually prefer the parfum concentration over the edt and edp, and while I've only worn my sample of Elixir a few times, I've been really enjoying this one too. Plus, I'm a sucker for "cool" bottle designs and they knocked it outta the park here, so its gonna be really hard not to just throw away my money and pick this up for retail 😄
I'm curious what is the deciding factor when you use the words "quid" and "pound"? Do they mean the same thing? Is it like americans saying "dollars" and "bucks"?
Lol it only comes in a 60ml as far as I know. I like it, but I don’t own any other Sauvage. For me the size and price works. It is expensive, but for how long it lasts and projects. Also where I live, it’s hot for the most part of the year. So I have a smaller window of wear lol.
Don’t focus too much on the price. I got my bottle in France with 30% discount ie 144€ down to 97€ at Marionnaud. Moreover instead of applying 4 to 5 sprays, 2 sprays or 3 are enough. That means you have a 100ml or 120ml for 97€. And it is a wonderful scent as you said. 👍
Its a weird one for me..... I fluctuate between I love it, I don't like it, Its great..... Performance is great, dry down smells great after spraying on cloths(after 24 hours) I kinda reminds me of a ladies perfume from about 20 years ago... can remember the name, anais anais comes to mind but might not be that one.
To me, the opening does not smell like Sauvage EDT but after a while it becomes a very strong ( almost syrupy ) Sauvage. It is very strong and deep. I love it.
Sadly this bags a lot of compliments. Sadly? The lavender note gives you a relaxing and confident mood wearing it. I had no intention buying but was worth every penny. And as a sidenote, this actually lasts and performs. Do you hear me aventus?
It's honestly really good, but, yeah the price is definitely high. You're better off getting it from discounters or FB groups to get it at a better price.
I’m a bloke, a straight bloke, but I love you. You just say whatever the hell you feel. I’ve only been in this community for about 2 years, and I bought the EDT 2 months ago because I HAD to right? I just sold it on eBay for a massive loss. My fault, no one else’s. It’s soo average. Anyway keep keeping it real mate. Would like to try this
Own Sauvage, never wear it (I just prefer carbon so I wear that if I’m ever in the mood) but I do have to say this one took me by surprise and it’s pretty damn good
Same. I have Sauvage (edt) and find myself only wearing it because of the idea that everyone else likes it. This one on the other hand, I wear for me, it’s almost like a treat 😂
People complain about the price. Distributors are the main reason for astronomical prices. Aside from all fragrances from being overpriced, this is relatively not bad. Many niche fragrances are astronimical, and one could argue that the artistry of some warrent the high price. A painting can fetch thousands, although the canvas and paint cost well below a hundred pounds/dollars etc. Sauvage Elixir contains some very beautiful and very expensive musks and materials. The naturals are brilliant quality, e.g. the bergamot and lavender. It apparently contains 10% muscenone and also could contain an expensive form of ambroxide called Ambrox Super. Both these synthetics smell amazing and at such high dosages make the sauvage quality top notch. Yes it is not niche-like artistic, but the quality is better than most niche you would be happy to pay a lot more for. I honestly think no niche house would be happy to put 10% muscenone in their fragrances, its extremely expensive. So, in all honesty, within context I do not think the pricing is that bad relative to what many niche houses are asking for, or even the Dior Collection Privee. Just a thought. Disclaimer, I am actually not a fan of any of the Sauvage line, including this latest flanker. I am just trying to be objective. All the best :)
some other tubers make me laugh when they moan about the price, especially american ones that brought out there own frags early on and charged 300 plus! seen vids of women choosing lynx/axe over the designer stuff so anything over a few quid is over priced really, from all the designer crap i had over the years, only dior stuff have i really got my monies worth.
George, I've been watching you for a while, and I know it's a bit out of a left field, but I do reckon your sophistication and eloquence would be able to tackle my humble request. What would be a fragrance you would consider a fitting wear for a funeral? I've had this question in my head for a while, and no matter how I spin it, my mind always gravitates towards De Profundis by Serge Lutens.
This shit last This shit smells good This shit made you stand apart from the crowd. This shit not need much to to apply as it's like "ONE PUFF IS ENOUGH" Ready to pay the price as it's worth the price✌️💪😏
It's pretty good. But per ml this stuff is just as expensive as creed, PDM, roja and initio. At the end of the day no way i'm spending that much for this. Btw I just found 2016 Millisime Imperial and holy fuck it's the same sparkly notes as the new formula, but lasts 8 hours. I finally understand your addiction George.
@@xSnowboardStarzx yeah Initio's bottle is only 90ml, PdM's big bottle comes in at 125ml and you can get them at discounters so, price per ml isn't too high for PdM and quite comparable to Elixir. Other ones are still significantly more expensive.
We are all living in a flanker world. It seames to me there needs to be a breakthrough for all the major designer houses. Even Creed is going flanker. That's scary...especially when your asking for the same or even more then the original.
The sillage is a confusing beast. My office (and they don´t blink an eye when I am wearing something from Orto Parisi) gave really positive, but also really confused reactions. I got it for 84€, but from how little you need to spray, the price is OK-ish. When ATH tells me the raw materials are expensive and exquisite, that also helps^^
Elixir does smell great, but I also find it quite too expensive. I find the drydown also somewhat similar to the drydown ol Pasha de Cartier Parfum, which is great in and of itself, plus more affordable. PS. The Elixir bottle is 60 ml. I doubt they would bring any 50ml presentation, but who knows. Given than their first bottle is 60ml already, I'd have more hopes for a 30 than a 50 ml.
Dior is bouncing back!! Thankfully!! With the new release of Dior Homme 2021 Original (which smells like the 2011 formula) and Elixr not being Suavage at all and it’s all day projection! Wish the name was not Suavage
I do love Suavage Elixr but I would rather eat and pay rent then smell like every f boy in a 100 mile radius
The comment, username and photo is remarkable. I stand in awe

The women (younger/older) are loving it and gets the job done!

Did not disappoint!
Love that you are openly calling out the price this is exactly my thoughts. If we were able to see the mark up price of this fragrance I think people would boycott Dior. Its nice but I can get Nasomatto fragrances cheaper that are much higher quality.

In the US it’s about $155 for 60 mL. If you wouldn’t pay that for this scent, then what fragrance would you recommend instead?
Profumo armani acqua di gio

Yes brother it last a Long time! A bit pricey but hey is a very good one that deserves they hype
Finally realised what this reminds me of , it’s like a pure parfum version of Luna rossa carbon
Bonkers in a good way. Love the drum roll. Well produced video.
Related to the Sausage Elixir, when I've tried it, the only way I could describe it was "if a combat knife was a fragrance". Sharp and cold.
*Sauvage

It’s not a bad fragrance, it really isn’t. I just smelled this before. If I am not mistaken, one of my Axe/Lynx bodysprays smelled exactly like this.
George, @5:08 you'd buy a 50ml instead of a big bottle like 100ml? Elixir only comes in 60ml fyi
Yes a 50ml with a discount would be the way forward ! Very expensive at a 120 quid and headling into niche territory I imagine it will sell and you will smell it on the london transport system and all over the place like you did with aventus in recent times and the original sauvage
Price points are a big reason we are seeing the emergence of frags like ALT, Sammy Andraus, Happy Land etc......
What happened to the "Day Dior Died" video, the one outside the pub, did you get heat from LVMH to take it down?
There’s no getting away from it, it’s good in fact it’s very good. Cost hmmmm you can get it around £90 if you drop on a deal still a little high but worth it.
Of the line head and shoulders above the rest for me
Hands down the best fragrance reviewer
The price is outrageous! Here in the states going $155 for 2 ounces. Might as well buy something from creed for this kind of money
It’s worth it though. 😎
Its definitely worth it you only need 2 sprays per wearing so it will last a long time
Creed????? Seriously Aaron?? Watered down and ridiculous price. But yes price is insane. Almost 200 dollars for my 60 ml bottle here in Kingston Ontario Canada from Hudson Bay.
Tbh the only creed I’d take over elixir is Viking
it is a good fragrance. I will likely enjoy it during the fall and then save the rest for the next fall.
Great video George. Try 183 dollars for a mere 60 ml bottle in Ontario Canada. So 💲💲💰200 bills with taxes for my bottle which I purchased at Hudson Bay here in Kingston Ontario Canada. But ohhhh so worth it. Stay safe and healthy. Spero 🙂

Wonder if MFK will release a Dior flanker when he starts his tenure as the new in house perfumer.
I'm curious what is the deciding factor when you use the words "quid" and "pound"? Do they mean the same thing? Is it like americans saying "dollars" and "bucks"?
Yes, they mean the same thing.
I asked them to make a richer darker fragrance... I really enjoyed it on first smell... it works well for me like a PDM version of Sauvage
It's too expensive for a designer fragrance to me. Will try it maybe it will change my mind. Where did the Dior video gone, George?
Greetings
Robert
Me too I wondered why the Dior video is gone. He might have got problems with LVMH.....
“I can see myself getting a 50ml……..
If there was a discount” 😆😆😆

Could you make a video about Initio scents? :)
Its a weird one for me..... I fluctuate between I love it, I don't like it, Its great.....
Performance is great, dry down smells great after spraying on cloths(after 24 hours)
I kinda reminds me of a ladies perfume from about 20 years ago... can remember the name, anais anais comes to mind but might not be that one.
If you went out George with no fragrance on would people compliment you because they except to you to be smelling good ?
To me, the opening does not smell like Sauvage EDT but after a while it becomes a very strong ( almost syrupy ) Sauvage. It is very strong and deep. I love it.
Finally 🙌
Comrades, I think you should try 3 sprays of Spicebomb + 2 sprays of 212 sexymen. The feeling of the scent is quite similar.

Macy’s has a 15% off all fragrances including Dior elixir . Today is the last day ends October 4 go fast !
I get a Yankee Candle vibe from it. Nice enough.
My mind is BLOWN with this one! Red twizzlers, sandalwood oil, and spice. That $160 though for a 60ml bottle- you have GOT to be kidding me!
Great video. Doing my part for algorithms. Yes!! 😅
Is this in HDR?
Liked before the ads even finished
The like stands. Great video.
Haha same ,Fragrance apprentice videos are guaranteed likes 😂
Hugo Red must be pleased with himself being placed next to enigma on the shelf
I already going for my second bottle.
When it really dries down, it’s basically Sauvage. I am with you on the price. Not worth it!
George Meltzer putting over Dior, you love to see it
George Meltzer > Dave Meltzer
Is this fragrance was made by AEW I would have given it 6 stars.
@@TheFragranceApprentice if wrestlers were fragrances, what would they be?
MJF = sauvage?
Guys, there is no 50 ml as far as I know but 60ml (the only size) which costs £112.
It's honestly really good, but, yeah the price is definitely high. You're better off getting it from discounters or FB groups to get it at a better price.
I’m a bloke, a straight bloke, but I love you. You just say whatever the hell you feel.
I’ve only been in this community for about 2 years, and I bought the EDT 2 months ago because I HAD to right?
I just sold it on eBay for a massive loss.
My fault, no one else’s. It’s soo average.
Anyway keep keeping it real mate.
Would like to try this
Stop by you local mall or boutique if you’re able to and scoop a sample. I wouldn’t pay for a sample since they’re practically giving them away.
Considering you're Australian and we're heading into summer, I wouldn't be buying it
A 50ml ? It's only available in 60ml 😆 great video mate 👍🏼
Own Sauvage, never wear it (I just prefer carbon so I wear that if I’m ever in the mood) but I do have to say this one took me by surprise and it’s pretty damn good
Same. I have Sauvage (edt) and find myself only wearing it because of the idea that everyone else likes it. This one on the other hand, I wear for me, it’s almost like a treat 😂
I really like it, I paid £82 with a discount which I think is alright given it projects like a monster
People complain about the price. Distributors are the main reason for astronomical prices. Aside from all fragrances from being overpriced, this is relatively not bad. Many niche fragrances are astronimical, and one could argue that the artistry of some warrent the high price. A painting can fetch thousands, although the canvas and paint cost well below a hundred pounds/dollars etc. Sauvage Elixir contains some very beautiful and very expensive musks and materials. The naturals are brilliant quality, e.g. the bergamot and lavender. It apparently contains 10% muscenone and also could contain an expensive form of ambroxide called Ambrox Super. Both these synthetics smell amazing and at such high dosages make the sauvage quality top notch. Yes it is not niche-like artistic, but the quality is better than most niche you would be happy to pay a lot more for. I honestly think no niche house would be happy to put 10% muscenone in their fragrances, its extremely expensive. So, in all honesty, within context I do not think the pricing is that bad relative to what many niche houses are asking for, or even the Dior Collection Privee. Just a thought.
Disclaimer, I am actually not a fan of any of the Sauvage line, including this latest flanker. I am just trying to be objective.
All the best :)
Should've sold it in 100 ml. For only 60 ml, it's daylight robbery
Lol I like roberry. Had to have it🙂
some other tubers make me laugh when they moan about the price, especially american ones that brought out there own frags early on and charged 300 plus! seen vids of women choosing lynx/axe over the designer stuff so anything over a few quid is over priced really, from all the designer crap i had over the years, only dior stuff have i really got my monies worth.
George, I've been watching you for a while, and I know it's a bit out of a left field, but I do reckon your sophistication and eloquence would be able to tackle my humble request.
What would be a fragrance you would consider a fitting wear for a funeral? I've had this question in my head for a while, and no matter how I spin it, my mind always gravitates towards De Profundis by Serge Lutens.
😂
This shit last
This shit smells good
This shit made you stand apart from the crowd.
This shit not need much to to apply as it's like "ONE PUFF IS ENOUGH"
Ready to pay the price as it's worth the price✌️💪😏
Reminds me of Dakkar Noir but with higher quality ingredients
It smells like the Parfum/EDP in the dry down.
i think chivas regal needs to make a fragrance, and a splash version of it ^_^
It's pretty good. But per ml this stuff is just as expensive as creed, PDM, roja and initio. At the end of the day no way i'm spending that much for this.
Btw I just found 2016 Millisime Imperial and holy fuck it's the same sparkly notes as the new formula, but lasts 8 hours. I finally understand your addiction George.
Aventus comes out to more than a dollar per ml compared to elixir.
PdM yes but not the other ones unless u get Creed at a steep discount. Roja is dang expensive, way way more expensive than Elixir per ML.
@@lettuce1305 right, and initio is not even close, especially if it’s retail.
@@xSnowboardStarzx yeah Initio's bottle is only 90ml, PdM's big bottle comes in at 125ml and you can get them at discounters so, price per ml isn't too high for PdM and quite comparable to Elixir. Other ones are still significantly more expensive.
We are all living in a flanker world. It seames to me there needs to be a breakthrough for all the major designer houses. Even Creed is going flanker. That's scary...especially when your asking for the same or even more then the original.
Why didn't they just release it as it's own variant?
Dior Elixir
Money
What’s up with the lighting?? And your hair looks wispy af
Knew you would like it.
The sillage is a confusing beast. My office (and they don´t blink an eye when I am wearing something from Orto Parisi) gave really positive, but also really confused reactions.
I got it for 84€, but from how little you need to spray, the price is OK-ish. When ATH tells me the raw materials are expensive and exquisite, that also helps^^
Elixir does smell great, but I also find it quite too expensive. I find the drydown also somewhat similar to the drydown ol Pasha de Cartier Parfum, which is great in and of itself, plus more affordable.
PS. The Elixir bottle is 60 ml. I doubt they would bring any 50ml presentation, but who knows. Given than their first bottle is 60ml already, I'd have more hopes for a 30 than a 50 ml.
I like it a lot- a high quality Lavender bomb.
Buying at a 30+% discount using Shoppers Drug Mart points.
I got my sample today too! What a shocking surprise, Demachy went niche with this one🤯
Dior is bouncing back!! Thankfully!! With the new release of Dior Homme 2021 Original (which smells like the 2011 formula) and Elixr not being Suavage at all and it’s all day projection! Wish the name was not Suavage
Honestly the more I wear it the more I see the Sauvage DNA coming out in the dry down.
Lets wait until Francis Kurkdjian drops Dior Homme Elixir, 35mL for €189 :) (with natural iris from the Irisland, of course.)
