What Is ALT Fragrances Farouche Elixir a Dupe Of?

ALT Fragrances Farouche Elixir is a clone of Dior Sauvage Elixir. The notes point toward lavender, licorice and warm woods. Here’s what connects them and what we’d check before buying.

What connects the two?

Sauvage Elixir is the reference behind Farouche Elixir. Lavender, licorice, amber, patchouli and sandalwood give you a useful set of details to compare.

How do their notes compare?

ALT Fragrances Farouche Elixir lists Lavender, Licorice, Amber, Patchouli and Sandalwood among its notes. Dior Sauvage Elixir lists Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Cardamom, Grapefruit, Lavender and Licorice among its own notes.

A shared note is a starting point, rather than a promise that both scents will develop the same way. The amount of sweetness, the texture of the woods and the way the notes blend can matter as much as the names on the list.

What would we look for in a sample?

We’d check the lavender against the licorice and warmer base. Use Sauvage Elixir for the comparison, since the EDT and EDP have their own profiles.

Try the same number of sprays on separate wrists if you can. Compare them again after the opening settles, and check how noticeable each one feels at a normal wearing distance. Let your own skin and usual setting have a say.

Which bottle makes more sense?

We’d start with ALT Fragrances Farouche Elixir if you want to try this scent idea in ALT’s interpretation. Choose Dior Sauvage Elixir if that exact original is what you want. Before ordering, compare bottle sizes, the delivered price and the retailer’s return terms. A smaller bottle or sample can be the better first step when one particular note is the reason you are interested.
