Lucius לעומת Sauvage Elixir

Fragrance Du Bois Lucius is highly regarded by those who have tried it, praised for its classy warm citrus opening that transitions to a fruity-smoky base with impressive longevity. However, its premium price point is a significant barrier for many enthusiasts considering a purchase, and the fruity character is polarizing.

Sauvage Elixir is a polarizing fragrance with confirmed multiple reformulations that have weakened its legendary performance, especially in 2024-2025 batches. While original formulations were exceptionally strong and long-lasting with a spicy-woody character, recent versions have significantly reduced projection and altered the scent profile, disappointing long-time fans. The fragrance remains powerful enough to be overwhelming for many users, making it best suited for mature wearers and cold weather wear in minimal quantities.
