Ambassador Intense vs Sauvage Elixir

Ambassador Intense by Gisada is viewed very negatively by the community, primarily criticized for its extreme intensity and poor layering performance. The fragrance is described as a 'nuclear bomb' with excessive notes that clash dramatically with other scents, making it unsuitable for most everyday situations.

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.
