Is Sauvage Elixir better than Sauvage EDP?
Not better—different. Elixir is richer, spicier, and stronger. Choose EDP for daily versatility; choose Elixir for nights and cold weather.
How many sprays of Sauvage Elixir should I use?
Start with one or two sprays. Elixir projects aggressively, and more than three sprays can overwhelm a room.
