The Most Wanted vs Sauvage Elixir

The Most Wanted is divisive within the community. While the fragrance itself receives praise from some who enjoy its gourmand qualities, particularly in winter, others find it overly synthetic and cheap-smelling. The most consistent criticism involves the poor atomizer quality, with multiple users reporting weak spray and leaking. Quality control issues and batch inconsistency are also reported concerns.

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.
