Dior Sauvage Elixir

Mostly warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on nutmeg, cinnamon and cardamom, moves through lavender, and settles on licorice, sandalwood and amber.

• nutmeg: warm dusty spice, dry rather than sweet
• cinnamon: hot sweet baking spice

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
