This review deserves 5 stars. The way you explained the way you delivered an objective point of view and then your subjective opinion is astonishing. Thank you, with my heart!
By far the best 2021 release I can remember, and I despise the entire sauvage line as too basic, juvenile and overworn.. bought this for summer, as I detected freshness within the warm spiciness, and I dont regret it one bit.
I hate Sauvage EDT but when I smelled the Elixir, I was blown away... I'm tempted to buy but I have already bought ADG Profumo, CAHSEE, Y EDP, BDC EDP this month.
I love it that you got feedback from Dior, so your review has more depth. You are an artist and it's awesome that you are diversifying your approach. Can't wait to try your fragrances.
What strikes me more than anything with your fabulous reviews is how you exhibit not only your absolute expert status, but more importantly the love and passion for the art of scent creation in all of its various facets, not just concentrating on the scent itself, but the technical aspects of building the DNA and co-combining all the amazing elements that go into a complex scent structure that evolves over time. You thus enable me as a total bloody amateur to deeply appreciate the art of mining that depth of knowledge that goes into crafting these scents and which culminate into the total experience. Being older and having lived in the United States for the past 30+ years, but having come from Europe and having traveled across the Middle East and Central/ S-E Asia in the 1980/90's, I am always looking for those unique scents I experienced back then - which evoked the luxurious, deeply mysterious scent experiences that I so cherished during my trips without really knowing what I was smelling and why it so resonated so deeply with me. I really look forward to experiencing your line of creations as your passion for your work simply MUST translate very powerfully into scents that are totally unique. Thank you kindly for allowing US ALL here on your channel to gain some insight into your intimate knowledge of the art form that "scentology" represents.
I love your reviews and respect them very much. We certainly have different tastes but i watch all your videos because your descriptions are so perfect. Keep at it Love the work you're doing.
The exquisite and beautiful way you describe this unique -and actually outstanding fragrance- goes beyond poetry. Got Elixir just a few minutes ago… my sister gave it to me for my birthday! Thank you Aaron for this sublime review.. the amount of passion, professionalism and love you put into it, is phenomenal. Greetings from Chile.
It actually does project heavily. That’s one of the weirdest parts. Normally when you have such an oily fragrance like this it’s an immortal skin scent. But not this, somehow it fills the room while lasting all day. I genuinely don’t get how it works on a science level.
Same haha, end of the day it works different on everyones skin imo. For me it's the best preformance perfume out of my 15+ frag collection. And this is my most favourite savuage and I love it, will be rebuying it when it finishes.
@@AIFTW259 same thing I experienced. Strongest out of all my scents If not super close to the performance of pdm Percival on my skin. My favorite from the Sauvage line as well
@@arapaimagold8088 well they already sold out of the original batch, so hopefully this next one is equally potent. (Luckily) we aren’t talking about Creed. Dior keeps their batches pretty much identical unless they completely reformulate like they did with Homme 2020
Thanks for the comprehensive informative review. I always learn something from your videos. I purchased this a little over a week ago. This is my favorite in the Sauvage line.
Ever since I've started watching your videos, learning about you, buying your fragrances, ESPECIALLY Animalix and Smoulder, I TRULY VALUE your opinion and knowledge of You perfecting your Craft...Your calling of bringing one of my best things in my Life, which is fragrances of anything and everything. I can relate to your childhood experiences from memories of scents...My Mom has stage 4 Brain Cancer, and she has given me some of her scarfs and sweaters that I sleep with at night, and those memories will now be with me when she has to go...If only people would realize how scents and fragrances not only lift us up, they are a HUGE component essential to our lives.Thank You for sharing your life and thoughts with us, because I DO listen.
Awesome review! Really informative and straight to the point.. I will definitely give this a try since i always loved the Dior Sauvage line. P.s your voice is really soothing and asmr like!
This is how you give a balanced review. I like how Aaron acknowledged it's not for him because of personal preference and dod so without shitting on the fragrance or Dior. So much to be learned from his presentations. Excellent job.
I got a sample of this a week ago and it was beast mode! I spray 2 times back of my hand and this stuff was projecting for like 4 hours. The opening didnt catch me much but the dry down it really shines. It is rich and spicy! Last long time on me and strong.
Smells like the Yankee Candle named Midsummer's Night to me. That one of which always resembled Drakkar Noir, but a bit sweeter. Absolutely adore this scent.
This was a brilliant review. As always, you provide a credible, technical explanation to help me better understand what I really like - and the few things I dislike - about the fragrance. It's a brilliant fragrance and I think Dior has set a high bar for designer houses with this release. Thanks Aaron.
Almost every youtuber says it projects madly but I'm with you on this one, it doesn't project on my skin either but it definitely last long. Love the way it changes with time too.
Thanks for reviewing this, Aaron! I couldn't stand the astringent peppery note in Sauvage EDT but I liked the smoothness of the EDP almost enough to purchase it. Bleu de Chanel really tops it though for me. I also rather enjoy middle eastern perfumery. It transports me to a different place. I was pleasantly surprised when I first wore Lyric Man in the Australian summer. So on the basis of your review and that it's really quite different to what's come before I'm quite keen to get my nose on this now. Cheers mate!
I love your reviews, Aaron! Your collaboration with FRAGMENTAL introduced me to you, and after hearing you speak with so much knowledge and passion about fragrances, I had no choice but to check out your channel and get my dose of Aaron. Love your content, love the chemistry between you and FRAGMENTAL, I love to see you talk about your profession with such passion. I want to make your fragrance my first niche I will purchase cause I'm really curious how beautiful they must smell coming from a fragrance geniues like you. Will have to save up first as I just am getting into fragrances, but looking forward to it already to rock your fragrance and just smell awesome!
Aaron, I found this a really informative review. Great comments too! I’ve tried it and loved it. Intend to pick up a bottle real soon! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for all the great reviews and for always keeping it real. The only reviewer that makes me blind buy fragrances. So far, so good! I couldn't agree more. I was reminded of curry chicken when I first put my nose on this fragrance.
Amazing review Aaron! I completely agree with you, because I also dislike that some people give negative reviews online before a fragrance is even released. I don't really understand why they do that 🤨 every fragrance has to be tested first not just judged by the notes it has in the description.
Love your reviews Aaron and as someone who found the original sauvage a really immature screamer I was blown away by Elixir yes it could do with a few more edges but I love it, this and Homme Parfum are the best from the house imo
Went into Boots today to test this. It blew my socks off, so I treated myself. I am not a huge fan of the EDT, but this is on a whole new level. Great review as always Aaron!
I don't know why Dior even designed this as a Sauvage. It's so unique and so capable of standing on its own two legs that they could have very easily launched this as it's own separate line. If only every fragrance out there had the longevity and the performance this does, holy christ it's SOOOOO long lasting. It's an all nighter if i've ever seen one. The first time I wore it was just before Christmas 2022 when I went out for dinner with family one night, I went to bed that night, woke up the next morning and I could smell it on my god damn pillow lol I'm someone who sleeps on my side quite a bit and what happened overnight as I was sleeping on my side my pillow had actually absorbed some of it from my face.
The problem of releasing this one on its own is that dior would have to make a new line, make advertisements for it, get ppl to buy the new line. To get the familiarity that people have with sauvage takes a whole lot of money and time (and time is money), while introducing it as a flanker just makes sense financially.
easier to market when attached to sauvage/johnny depp. same with dior homme 2020 being attached to homme/robert pattinson, even though it hardly smells like the older dior hommes due to omitting the iconic iris accords
Almost 700 reactions, at this point, without a single thumbs down! Impressive, and I think it implies a great deal about how you're received in the frag community. You're always real, you're always concise in your reviews and you're always thorough and knowledgeable about what goes into a fragrance. I'll watch your vids even when I don't give a single fuck about the fragrance you're reviewing. 😄
I never watch any other reviews and apart from this fragrance I never read anything. I value my critical thinking. I also try to make everything I do at 100%. Thank you for watching.
@@AaronTerenceHughes When using “oiler” fragrances such as middle eastern or EDP concentrations, Where should you spray to increase Projection? Does skin type matter with regards to projection? (Fitzpatrick scale IV, combination skin)
Aaron we send our love from Greece. Thank you for your lovely videos on perfumes. This haircut and beard suits you better than the latter ones. They also suit your tattoos better.
Superb review, very informative. I smelled this fragrance for the first time last week, have a sample now. I didn't expect to like this so much as I'm not a big fan of it's predecessors but this does indeed smell great, I appreciate how Dior has created something so potentially divisive in their oh-so popular Sauvage line. I find this quite pricy but It really does smell of high quality & as ATH says it smells complete, like a lot of thought & effort went into it.
Hi Aaron, really loving your work your reviews are so interesting and educational. Its great to get reviews that dont just regurgitate what the marketing team feeds people by just repeating the notes on the box. It's very good how you describe the process and chemistry that goes into making good fragrance. Please could you recommend how I could get hold of individual notes to be able to know what they smell like in a raw state so to speak? Sending you some positive energy and good luck on the future ahead 🙏❤✌
From all over the planet, I only follow you because I resonate very well with your tastes and it can be seen that you have your own opinion about everything... I've seen with others that the vlogs are the same... they have the same tastes just because. marketing! Congratulations Aaron
I really appreciate u addressing the behavior of frag comm…in my experience the community of full of hate and negativity and trolling. Great review as always!
Excellent review. I love hearing a professional perfumers opinion on fragrances. It's like getting the specs from under the hood of a fast car that only a true engineer could give. You definitely convinced me to buy a sample to try this fall. I think the fragrance is very bold and daring but worth the effort.
Me personally, I tend to gravitate towards the fragrances that people slam or hate on!! By doing this, I fell in love with Oudhs of all varieties, civet, castoreum and other notes that more or less put people off!! Had I listened to how the majority felt about perfumery, my olfactory Journey would be so limited and boxed in!! I love and appreciate all works of perfumery!! Even if I may not find myself compelled to not wanting to invest in a bottle, I still find something to appreciate about it!! Keep up the good work Aaron💯
One of the most sophisticated designer’s fragrances out there. You get to appreciate all the technical aspects you mentioned in this video.To me It has more niche vibe than the entire CD’s exclusive line. LOVE from KSA🇸🇦…
Your a great person showing respect for others work. This review makes me trust your views far more. Thank you for standing tall and humble at the same time.
@@AaronTerenceHughes its like you can see the different invisible fragrances as they blend. Your self actualized . Its is very beautiful to see a person doing what they love to do. I am truly happy for you Thank you for sharing your special perspective.
more of this guy. straight-forward with his opinions. poetic with his thinking. deeply knowledgeable and speaks directly to the point. advocates for and champions ethical practices, through-and-through. challenges the status-quo. I'm not in his field, and i'm only moderately into fragrances, but i want to surround myself with people who think like him. plus, now i know pink pepper is used for cleanness + woodiness but not spiciness.
As a middle easterner myself, You really hit the nail on the head with this one…I think this is the most accurate review of Elixir to date. I usually don’t like when reviews get too technical, but u do it in a pretty engaging way mate gotta hand it to you 👍🏼 Longevity is mad! on my wrist 48 hours with 2 showers and another perfume sprayed over it, no exaggeration! I think Elixir is a perfume meant to be smelt from its projection or its silage and 1-2 hours after spraying to get how lovely it is….when I smell it right off the skin especially at the beginning, it doesn’t smell that nice with the spice crowding itself through the ambroxan metallic vibes. Kinda like a dirty stain on a perfect clean white shirt….but when I am wearing it and I get whiffs of it, it is absolutely lovely! And quite addictive even! Cuz u kinda get that main Sauvage Pleasing Dna but with the spice in the background making it different and less boring (i mean I love how Sauvage smells, but I hate how “everywhere” it currently is)
Love your review, Aaron. Very thoughtful and well-explained. I tried elixir and I agree with most of your comments. Could you please do some reviews on Jo Malone Intense Collection 🙏
Really good listening to this Aaron. It articulates what was in my head mostly...minus the technical stuff which is your forte...but also felt heavy lavender accord. The drydown is where I appreciated it more. Beast mode. Also, your commentary around fragcomm spot on. It grates me too. Too many snowflakes and too many opinions out there with no substance.
Enjoyed your review of Sauvage Elixir a very balanced review, taking into consideration all aspects of the fragrance, I tried it in store it didn’t blow me away but I think it’s much better than the other iterations of Sauvage, I like the fragrance and certainly can’t complain on the price but at that price point I do think there are better fragrances suited to my own taste and it will be super popular, it won’t be very unique for long so for me while I like it I’d probably pass on getting a bottle, but certainly appreciate it more than the others, I wouldn’t complain if it was all I smelled when I walked past people (like I do with the original sauvage 😂)
Loving the work that goes into the sound quality
He does use a hell of a sound quality.
One of the 1st things i noticed...audio quality is more than important than image , believe it or not
Aaron is just incredible
Sounds good but bassy lol
Man, you got the point. There was something calming and sober on Aaron's videos that I can't figure out.
This is exactly why i watch your reviews. Straight to the point no hype and honest truth . Great review Aaron
My pleasure
@@AaronTerenceHughes was your sample edp or parfum extract?

I AM MIDDLE EASTERN AND I LOOOVE IT! lol I GUESS THEY NAILED IT! THANK YOU AARON!
I am not middle eastern and I love it. But I also like ME Scents…
It's amazing I was getting sooo many compliments
I think Dior did an exceptional job with Elixir.
This fragrance just evolves to the best smelling scent so far this year.
I don’t like sauvage at all but I dig this one

I think Elixir is a perfume meant to be smelt from its projection or its silage and 1-2 hours after spraying to get how lovely it is….when I smell it right off the skin especially at the beginning, it doesn’t smell that nice with the spice crowding itself through the ambroxan metallic vibes. Kinda like a dirty stain on a perfect clean white shirt….but when I am wearing it and I get whiffs of it, it is absolutely lovely! And quite addictive even! Cuz u kinda get that main Sauvage Pleasing Dna but with the spice in the background making it different and less boring (i mean I love how Sauvage smells, but I hate how “everywhere” it currently is)
Dam I'm in America. They OVERwear sauvage everywhere here as well...must be the whole world
Love your review, Aaron. Very thoughtful and well-explained. I tried elixir and I agree with most of your comments. Could you please do some reviews on Jo Malone Intense Collection 🙏
The one video I was waiting for
I always chuckle in a good way at your intro when you ask, "How are you?" It's always pleasant.
Really good listening to this Aaron. It articulates what was in my head mostly...minus the technical stuff which is your forte...but also felt heavy lavender accord. The drydown is where I appreciated it more. Beast mode. Also, your commentary around fragcomm spot on. It grates me too. Too many snowflakes and too many opinions out there with no substance.
The rant was perfectly put, well said 🤌🏼
I love your videos! You deserve way more subscribers!
Thank you so much!
You’ve got a new subscriber. And I only subscribe 3-4 times a year! Great technical video.
Very nice Aaron!
i admire your candidness!
I'd really enjoy the way you explain the scent and the feelings about that. 100%agree wird your statements
Enjoyed your review of Sauvage Elixir a very balanced review, taking into consideration all aspects of the fragrance, I tried it in store it didn’t blow me away but I think it’s much better than the other iterations of Sauvage, I like the fragrance and certainly can’t complain on the price but at that price point I do think there are better fragrances suited to my own taste and it will be super popular, it won’t be very unique for long so for me while I like it I’d probably pass on getting a bottle, but certainly appreciate it more than the others, I wouldn’t complain if it was all I smelled when I walked past people (like I do with the original sauvage 😂)
Great review Aaron. It's a superb release from Dior much better than I anticipated
