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.

This is Dior Sauvage Elixir, no doubt about it. The absolute ONLY difference is the concentration. It's evident from start to finish. This is slightly lighter, because of concentration. It is also not as long lasting. Again, due to concentration. I do have both so I feel like I kinda know what I'm talking about. Not buying a backup of DSE. Gonna buy 5 more bottles of this, and just spray away!

Similar to Lattafa ASAD. This is a masculine spicy oriental fragrance. Nice longevity. Very versatile. But better suited for people around 30 years old and on. The cap is magnetic and the bottle presentation is only 60ml. But the price is pretty decent. I wouldn't wear it in hot weather but you can wear it using very few sprays.

The only difference I notice in smell is that Dior Sauvage Elixir has more of a deeper woody licorice to it immediately when sprayed. Sauvage Elixir also last a bit longer. Otherwise, Salvo Elixir is pretty spot on for an inexpensive clone. LOL at any complaints about this clone when it costs nothing.

Amazing clone but there are 2 problems, first is that I get a bit of medicinal smell compared to sauvage elixir which is obviously more well blended, and the second one is the horrible performance that it has (less than an hour of projection and lasts 4 hours on my skin)

price to output ratio is mad crazy no idea about its similarity to original sauvage elixir ( me poor ) but very first day , first use the performance this gives in comparison to it's price i paid ( 17 usd equivalent) is mad crazy will update 3 months later

I cant believe that this 15 € fragrance with the funny knockoff name could actually be so close to Sauvage. This gets extremely close and i totally suggest it as a cheaper alternative.

I like this equally to Lattafa Asad, but my wife likes this better, and Asad is about her second favorite.

This is closer to sauvage elixir than Asad, but it sadly doesnt have the best performance.

I've had this frag for a while now . I blind bought the entire salvo series from Maison Alhambra because I like the brand and I'm also a big fan of sauvage. The elixir is my least favourite, in fact I have a real hard time trying to like it. It's just not my cup of tea. I really disliked Asad by lattafa too. This one is better than Asad in my opinion. Not sure how close it is to the real thing but it started to grow on me with time. It takes a lot for me to get used to this scent and I have to learn to appreciate this type of scent somehow. It's slowly turning in to s more familiar scent like Drakkar noir which I love hence the beginning of a more appreciative attitude towards salvo elixir. But I'm not quite there yet. There is still something in this scent I can't get comfortable with. It would be so much easier if I had a trained nose and could point out what exactly it is that disturbes me. In conclusion, if you like sauvage elixir,you'll like this . Specially considering the price. It's dirt cheap. ***UPDATE*** 14/10/25 This has now gotten so much better to the point where I can enjoy this. Now it smells like a darker and deeper sauvage. Perfect for colder months. Maceration is a real thing ladies and gentlemen.

First time I tried it, I was like "Okay it's just Asad in another bottle", until I sprayed them both (Salvo Elixir & Sauvage Elixir) side by side. I would safely say 80-85% similarity. No it doesn't have the same quality as the OG but for under $30 it's good. Asad is also good but not as close as this one. I haven't full worn it yet so I can't tell you much about the performance. The bottle is nice even though I find it's too heavy for 60 ml fragrance. Update (2024-7-28) : It's indeed a more wearable version of DSE, the spiciness isn't as heavy as the OG. The longevity is quite good with moderate to intimate projection. I recommend you to do 12-15 sprays.

90% Sausage Elixir. The main difference to me is the black licorice isn't as deep and the fragrance isn't as well blended. Compared to Asad, this hits the licorice and smokiness notes better, but kind of lacks in sweetness. Performance obviously cant compete with sausage, and this lasts about 6 hours and projects moderately. If you want this to perform decent you need at least 4-5 sprays. I got my bottle about 3 months ago, and it got much closer to sauvage in that time. If you can get this for less than $40, then I'd say its worth it. But if not then just get Asad.

As an avid fan of Sauvage Elixir, I set out to find a more versatile version because Elixir is unsuitable for hot weather and enclosed environments. Although Salvo Elixir reminds you of the scent profile 90%, it still lacks the spices, richness, performance, and complexity. However, this is why it is an inexpensive option and a good candidate as a more wearable substitute. The projection for the first two hours is decent. The 60 ml bottle has a weak magnetic cap, but a weak one is better than none. I prefer this over Asad.

Good dupe thats been overshadowed by Asad. Scent wise i find it to be a 1 for 1 minus a tad bit of licorice vibe. Lacks the performance ofc, kind hard to top the OG tbf. But for sub $30 can you really expect this to be a monster. Bottle design is odd however, it has the design of the normal 3.4 sauvages yet only holds 60ml. It does have a magnetic (weaker than Dior caps) cap that almost supports the weight of the bottle. Kinda like the Chanel magnetic caps.

Sauvage Elixir is not a unique or distinctive fragrance although it's a good fragrance. And the Alhambra Salvo is a pretty good replication. But ask yourself, as I do, if you need another fragrance in his wheelhouse. I prefer the first Salvo, called "EDP", which dupes Sauvage EDT. Question of taste. Apples and oranges. The Salvo EDP (duping Sauvage EDT) is dynamic and a more remarkable wear to my nose.

Not mass-appealing. Not blind-buy safe. Don't buy into the hype. If you don't have a few other banger winter frags, don't start with this one unless you've smelt a tester of the OG in-store. 4-Month Maturation Update: This actually smells decent now so I retract my initial negative review. It's like Dior Sauvage EDT with an amber accord. It's nothing amazing but still pretty good.
