Salvo Elixir

Bruhhh... this is literally just as good as the original. I don't usually go nuts for Maison Alhambra scents, but this is amazing! I received 6 unsolicited compliments l on this fragrance, from different people, the first night I wore it. Just 4 sprays from a BRAND NEW bottle, and the performance and projection were perfect. A couple were "OMG, you smell amazing!" and "You smell delicious!" while nuzzling her nose into my neck for another smell. This is WAY better than Lattafa Asad! I think Asad smells good, and high quality, but it just didn't smell like something I wanted to wear. This does!!! This also has an Ambroxan element that's closer to Sauvage and Asad just didn't have that essential element. Again, I don't typically like Maison Alhambra scents, but this is phenomenal. Get it!!!

#750 in my "Tour de Fragrance" The notes in this listing are completely wrong. They are the notes for Lattafa Asad which is absolutely nothing like Sauvage Elixir. Asad is black pepper, pineapple, tobacco, coffee, patchouli, iris amber, vanilla, dry wood, benzoin, and labdanum. Sauvage Elixir is grapefruit, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, grapefruit, lavender, licorice, sandalwood, amber, patchouli, and Haitian vetiver. Salvo Elixir is also grapefruit, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, lavender, amber, earthy, licorice, vetiver and patchouli. This is a great clone at a great price. Not as long-lasting as the original (four hours for this) , nor close to the longevity of Asad (which lasts all day), but for the money, good enough to put up with respraying over lunch.

I half way was expecting this to be my favorite inspo of Savauge Elixir, but I was wrong. It does smell fantastic! It is a major amber bomb, but you can kind of pick out most of the notes(the pineapple, patchouli, tobacco and coffee are interesting together). It actually does have good longevity for me, but the projection is only good for the first hour or two. After the first two hours it has average projection and maybe a little above average sillage. Certainly not the beastly performance of most fragrances of this DNA. I think Lattafa Asad, and Riffs Prive Blue are still my two favorite inspos so far. Of course I've only tried three.

Supporting notes - Not so much. But it has so much similarity to DSE, that it only makes sense to buy this. This is splitting hairs, - They are SO close. And for the price, it is silly. You will pick up nuances that make them different if you smell them side by side, but it is a fragrance that gives you total bang for your buck. Exceeded my expectations, and it is as close as anyone could ask for in a clone anno 2026. Thank you Maison Alhambra!

A spot on clone of Dior Sauvage Elixir, for 30 dollars you get a magnetic cap, pressurized-ish atomizer, and solid juice that last up to 8 hours maximum (on my skin personally). Although my only complaint is that the bottle is only 60ml, despite looking 100ml😔😔😔. Update: After a couple months, it's starting to smell more like a combination of Sauvage EDP and the Elixir, it's still very good in my opinion, but just a weird note lol.
