![]() ![]() Sauvage went the way of Bleu, caring even less for its different flankers than I did for the Chanels. Well, screw me sideways I really like Elixir! I've been pretty vocal about my dislike of all the blue juices for years, and yet I kept trying and trying knowing there was something there, hoping I'd finally come across what I'm tempted to say "the one". And sometimes I wear Sauvage because it gives me something uncomplicated to talk about at the office. Every time I go to Disney World, I find myself floating through the bride sale (now a chicken sale, due to Disneyfication eating itself). A more appropriate blockbuster franchise ought to be Pirates of the Caribbean, Johnny Depp's sexless sea adventure based on, of all things, a boring theme park ride. ![]() It's probably very unfair of me to compare Sauvage Elixir to Marvel. That's not a bad thing, per se, and for this price you may even say that's a good thing. Everyone you know will have a point of reference for it already, because they've all experienced the same thing. There will be conflict and billion dollar flourishes but the heroes will ultimately triumph because they always do. Just like a Marvel movie, you know exactly what you're getting. That's not to say that it is a bad fragrance, just that it is extremely predictable. ![]() We can opine all day long about subtle differences, but in the end it comes down to this: are you a Marvel guy or a DC guy? If you've smelled one, you've smelled them all, more or less. If Sauvage is The Avengers, then Sauvage Elixir is Avengers: Endgame, a massively appealing bottled juice that, just as Francis Ford Coppola opined about the Marvel franchise, is "a prototype made over and over and over again to look different." The same is absolutely true of the entire Sauvage line and every other blue copycat. ![]()
