Ralph's Club vs Sauvage Elixir

Ralph's Club Parfum is viewed as a solid, mainstream fragrance that improves upon the EDP with added maturity and complexity. However, performance issues and projection weaknesses are notable concerns for some wearers, and preference between the EDP and Parfum largely depends on individual taste for sweetness versus dryness.

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.
