About Dior Sauvage Elixir
Sauvage Elixir (2021) answered demand for a richer, longer-lasting Sauvage. Dior amped up the spice rack — licorice, cinnamon, nutmeg — creating one of the most polarizing yet best-selling flankers in modern perfumery.
The original Sauvage Elixir retails for approximately $165 for a 50ml bottle at authorized retailers in 2026. It belongs to the Fresh Spicy family and is widely considered one of Dior's most influential releases.
