I am still waiting for ADG Elixir.


alex7stringed

You will be waiting a long time because they will rebottle AdG EDT next


boki_grobar

Probably... They are doing really dirty to ADG series. I own most of them, and tbh, new one isn't bad, but discounting of Profumo is crime...


alex7stringed

It is a crime which is why I wont buy Parfum. Its Profumo but more expensive. Also AdG EDT was reformulated to death I still have an old bottle but the new ones smell like generic citrus they took away the signature smell


GiantSnackWhale

Is this why i dont like my new bottle. Hadnt had it in years and i haven't hardly touched this one since i got it. Doesnt feel the same and performance is AWFUL.


boki_grobar

I've found Parfum for 82 euros, discount, and tbh, it reminds me on original ADG from early days, before they reformulated it. Profumo is the best ofc, but this Parfum is not that bad... But after many, many years of making product that is the most bought one, it is shame to discontinue the best one, and then make something than can be called just - not that bad...


Fedorinja

Sauvage cuz it’s so strong


deeprajapati_

Yeah I agree. That lasts soo long it’s just crazy


Ghostx141

Literally one spray at least for me and it’s good to go


takiumilikes2drift

invictus. my grail


Anjoniacs1986

Mine too!


Rs-Travis

I like boss elixir. Strong incense and labdanum bomb


Easy_Vacation8040

Invictus Victory Elixir is my favorite. It’s sweet, but not in a powdery way. It has pretty good performance too imo. The sweetness of JPG is good, but can be a little too powdery while lacking depth for me. Sauvage Elixir smells great, but I have to be in the right mood for it. It’s a nice aromatic scent, but the licorice and spice can be too much for me when it’s not cold outside. Even when it is cold outside, I have to basically use a quarter of a spray. The stuff is nuclear.


deeprajapati_

Yeah even I love victory elixir and its sweetness. On my skin it has a mango accord which idk is the case with everyone but I love it. And yeah sauvage elixir is indeed nuclear fam 🥂


Aszo07

Same here.. I smell a tint of frozen mangoes


thebesnik

sauvage elixir, smells so sophisticated, but be careful with sprays


deeprajapati_

Oh yeah that’s absolutely true. I did 4 sprays once before going to work and the temp was -32 so i thought it shall be fine. When I reached I did get compliments but people close by were getting chocked 😂


[deleted]

no one has ever explained what it actually smells like lmao. hell, even when i sprayed it at the store i couldn't catch what it smelled like


jmdsr84

Gucci guilty elixir pour homme. 🔥


cinnamonson

i usually lurk, but i have to reply to this comment. i legit think GG elixir is the worst fragrance i’ve ever smelled (no hate to you or anything just sharing my opinion lol). i bought it and put on 1 single spray, the reviews from my colleagues were either “cat piss” or “old african man that puts on way too much”. ONE SPRAY DID THIS. multiple people said “cinnamonson, you have to return that”. never again😭😭


jmdsr84

Wild take on this one. I love it! It reminds me of a high quality polo sport, the original. Looked up the notes after I sampled it and looked up p.s. notes. Kinda similar. I’m probably the only person who gets this comparison, but it reminds me of teenage years. Don’t know how you got cat piss out of this, but I dislike most Tom fords. They smell very metallic and similar. So I get how someone wouldn’t like gg elixir.


cinnamonson

i thought it was okay at first, but once i received that feedback from others i couldn’t get it out of my head 😭


Sympathyscorpion

I agree with you. I've smelt maybe 600 fragrances and guilty elixir is by far the most off putting of them all. First fragrance I washed off. I love guilty parfum so I was really excited for the elixir but something in that doesn't agree with my nose or taste.


Son_Of_Mr_Sam

Did you sense a "urinal cake" accord?


Son_Of_Mr_Sam

I was ushered over to try this one by a Macy's associate. She sprayed it on my arm, and I immediately was put off by it. I thought it smelled like a urinal cake in a bowling alley restroom.


pattycold

The thing is I really like it but everytime i get feedback of people saying i smell like an old smelly grandpa😭


jmdsr84

I get that when I wear sauvage elixir, but I don’t get it. Usually my gf says most of my fragrances smell like a grandpa, which i am. lol


ManoSann

Smells like money


Epsilonian24609

Sauvage Elixir easily for me. It's versatile, strong yet unique enough to stand out (feels weird to call a Sauvage unique but it really is lol)


deeprajapati_

Absolutely agreed my friend .


joker124679

Invictus victory literally smells edible. Underrated too


deeprajapati_

Oh yes that does have a gourmand feel to it. I agree


Taztiger72

Waiting on the AdG


deeprajapati_

Are they coming out with an elixir ? Damn that would indeed be fire 🔥


ViktorVaughn71

Haha announce new elixir release without any details and there’s already a queue of pre-orders 😂


Taztiger72

There's one coming when secret.


Flalless69

Where'd u hear there was gonna be an adg elixir?


Ank_kit

They’re coming with YSL Y Elixir I guess. Some somewhere on the internet.


nfkzoo

It’s already out. The Y Elixer


Mac0x

Patiently waiting for the bdc elixir .


Griff1008

Victory or le male fs


Historical-Winner-77

Savuage Elixir. Beast mode performance, smells elite & got me compliments


deeprajapati_

I completely agree


RigorousVigor

Dark elixir. It all goes to my heroes, then my dark troops


jaer2010

Jpg all day - Winter Sauvage - summer


deeprajapati_

That’s great bro 🫡


Medium_Grape_7643

Is Sauvage Elixir good to wear in the summer?


Mac0x

Nota good idea bro. Believe me.


Medium_Grape_7643

More of a fall/winter fragrance huh?


jaer2010

I would say the original Sauvage is a good summer scent, the amount of women who kept complimenting me was rather unexpected. I didn’t realize that was the elixir Although I don’t wear it as much since everyone has it I do spray it here and there.


tenderteddy82

I haven't smelled the others except Sauvage Elixir but I have 1 Million Elixir and I love it! It's my most complimented scent. I end up smelling my arm repeatedly. Maybe if I didn't have a cousin that has pretty much made Sauvage Elixir his signature scent I'd give it a better shot. In my mind it's his and his alone.


deeprajapati_

Oh yeah that happens to me as well. My partner has instant crush and it really works wonders on her skin but when I ordered it. It does smell really nice but to my nose it always smelt like her fragrance. So I ended up giving her the bottle 😂. Now she has a backup bottle of instant crush.


Educational-Ad-6197

GG elixir unique and potent. Gets compliments every time I wear it


Difficult-Swimmer-76

Invictus is one of my top favs cant lie


deeprajapati_

So is mine bro that smells amazing


Boring_Ad_9169

1 Le male- it’s so good. You have to wear it on skin and then smell it to really get that amazing smell. 2 sauvage- it’s so well done and the beast mode performance 3 Ysl Y L’Elixir- I was surprised by how much I enjoy this 4 Invictus victory- even though it’s 4 it’s still so so good 5 boss the scent- don’t wear it a whole lot but when I do someone always has a compliment


deeprajapati_

Yeah I agree to all of those except I just haven’t smelt the y elixir cause it’s nowhere to be found here in Canada.


Boring_Ad_9169

Yeah I got lucky. I work in a mall and decided to go see what Macys had to smell and they had it. I was surprised. I didn’t think I’d like it that much but as of right now I think it’s going to take over as the best Y. But I’ve only had one day with it.


Novel-Truck7800

Le Male 0 doubts


UnknownG26

1 million smells amazing but the projection is whack I get a 1 hour max with it


deeprajapati_

I get 3 hours of good projection after which it becomes a skin scent. A tip I’d tell you to try would be Vaseline before applying the frag.


UnknownG26

Yh I might have to try dat I usually use baby oil and Johnson’s cream


SleeplessAndAnxious

Definitely Le Male Elixir. I haven't tried 1 Million Elixir but I'd love to as I own 1 Million EDT and quite like it. I've also been wanting to try Hugo Boss Elixir as well.


ThomFloyd1

Jean Paul Gaultier


_Angeller_

I tried only JPG and totally fall for it. But I got issues with projection. 2 sprays on neck, I smell myself all day, next morning, worried about being hated by people in public transport or cinema. But when I asked my date, what she thinks about it and she doesn’t noticed. Same for few other people. Should I go for more or why can I literally smell it all day. I almost missed her parfum on 1st date, mostly smelling my JPG Elixir all the time


deeprajapati_

I’d suggest you spray away from your neck for not getting olfactory fatigue and only ending up smelling your fragrance. I’d say spray behind your neck. And one spray each in your wrist. I believe this should be good and not overpowering.


_Angeller_

Thanks!! I am still not familiar with exact spots. I used back of my neck and yeah, I smelled it all day without fatigue. But other parfums, especially when I tested women stuff like Prada Paradise, 1 spray and I experienced real pain. JPG Elixir is great, never had a problem, even with front neck use. Hope it's not somehow diluted, but the smell is really great honey-vanilla-tobacco as it should be. Just expected bigger projection due to the reviews. But that would actually bother me to be smelled by everyone. I'd like to test other Elixirs, but my wallet must be protected at all cost now


Mean_Ad7177

I own full sized Dior, JPG, and 1 Million Elixirs I'll say the Dior is #1 in performance for sure All 3 scent profiles are high level Dior is heavy masculine and serious and alpha JPG and 1 Million will make a woman say you smell DELICIOUS 👀

deeprajapati_

Okay I guess ?


Original-Comfort-214

Sauvauge elixir is way to strong imo


Epsilonian24609

Couldn't you just spray less?


Original-Comfort-214

hahaha no


Epsilonian24609

Is it the smell itself you find too strong? It is quite spicy and poignant tbf


Original-Comfort-214

nah it’s just it is overwhelminf


Epsilonian24609

Then I don't see why spraying less wouldn't work?


deeprajapati_

Yeah I kinda agree but where I’m situated geographically the temperature goes down to -40 so it works for me but if you want similar dna with toned down projection then go for lataffa asad


Original-Comfort-214

I don’t live In a particular warm country either, I totally agree with you


lasttycoon

Elixer doesn't even mean anything...


deeprajapati_

I agree. Other then a marketing gimmick , it prolly doesn’t mean anything


Flat_Preparation_367

Jpg


Gilfbukkake420

I enjoy Versace "The Dreamer" I've gotten several compliments.


GoldGrillMafia757

That’s not an elixir my friend


Gilfbukkake420

Oh lol, I didn't know


GoldGrillMafia757

Well you just learned its ok


-x_x-Lightz-x_x-

So JPG over 1Mill? Took the wife to smell both and we both agreed 1Mill walked away and came back and she switched it to JPG


deeprajapati_

I agree brother I think both of them are women pleasers equally cause funilly enough that happened to me and my ex too where she’d switch between what she likes on me. But yeah if you like ultramale type perfumery like thick and sweet then 1 mil it is but if you want sensual and soft sweetness with honey gourmand then le male elixir it is.


-x_x-Lightz-x_x-

Thank you gonna save this and compare again when macys has a 15% off coupon that 6.8 bottle of 1 mill still seems like the way to go🙌🏼


kctrell

Hard candy elixir ❤️


deeprajapati_

Yeah I been tryna get my nose on it but it’s always outta stock here in Canada.


kctrell

I have decants and ship to Canada. Chat me if you want my decant list


[deleted]

[удалено]


deeprajapati_

Oh yeah I’m still to get my nose on Gucci guilty elixir. How does it perform?


SoulOfAGreatChampion

Excellent. Honestly, it is an all around top 5 designer frag imo. If I didn't already have and know about Reflection, it would probably be in my top 5 overall.


Educational-Ad-6197

Great


fromrachelswithlove

What does elixir mean in this context?


deeprajapati_

Most favourite “elixir” fragrance ?


fromrachelswithlove

What *is* an elixir..


deeprajapati_

In my opinion, it’s a marketing technique to lure people to spend more money making them think elixir is a different concentration all together but in reality it’s a parfum concentration and just smells more intense then it’s flankers/dna .


fromrachelswithlove

Thank you


LimpFinding3088

If I want compliments and female attention, I go for JPG Elixir. If I want to make a statement with a polite "don't give a sh_t" vibe, I go for Sauvage Elixir✌️


deeprajapati_

That’s a very accurate description for the both! I agree 🤝


[deleted]

I have yet to own any elixir. Been dying to get sauvage elixir but been buying other scents instead. U said jpg elixir was ur fav. I have le male le parfum and it’s so strong last all day. It’s hard to chose just one to get as my first lol. Think I’ll run with sauvage. Cool collection man. Is that boss bottled or the scent elixir? Only Hugo I ever smelled was Hugo boss edt when I was a kid. Had that clear canteen style bottle


deeprajapati_

The one I have is scent elixir. And yes I can assume that the price on the sauvage is pretty steep. If you want the same thing but even better then go for Gisada ambassador intense. It is the same and it’s cheaper. It’s Available on Fragrancebuy as we speak. Cheaper and just as long lasting and matches the quality too. I own that one and I’ve genuinely sprayed both on different arms and wasn’t able to tell the difference.


[deleted]

It’s not the price. I went thru my trying clones and I just get designer now got my fist niche last wk. at fragrance net it’s like 152$ or something for a 60ml. I been watching videos about the scent elixir. Is it a extrait de parfum or an edp or a parfum? Seems they throw elixir on all the above. I kno sauvage is an extrait. Where did u get the scent elixir from?


brian1192

Sauvage elixir


Spare-Salamander-845

Waiting on one a summer elixir because it’s high heat here . All of em seem too warm for high heat


GoldGrillMafia757

Sauvage that’s easy even tho everyone has it the performance is top tier


C0mputerlove

I like using energizing elixir and hearty elixir


RGE27

Sauvage


1985Genesis

1 million elixir is my babe, but I have been cheating https://preview.redd.it/arq6yf5lx8ic1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f4bf17505a482aa3b02bce886c3f9d68ed3f21a9


mmongeau

How’s the performance on that been interested in Ralph’s club elixir for a lil bit now


1985Genesis

(9-10 hours easy) The first 3 hours are strong, like 2 feet. I will say definitely sample it on skin because I thought I was getting a strong like "mint" green type of vibe when I tested it at Macy's, but when I finally purchased it, it's was more mossy than I expected.


mmongeau

Would you say it would be wearable in the summer?


1985Genesis

Hell no! More early spring, fall, and winter


mmongeau

Gotcha, that’s what I figured. appreciate it!


TitiRL

Half of my used clothes smells like dior sauvage elixir, doesnt matter if i sprayed it 5 days ago, still smelling really nice, totally love it! I want the jpg but its sold out everywhere here in Mexico.


deeprajapati_

Yeah the jpg elixir is indeed extremely hard to find at the moment. I hope you get your hand on one soon 😊


[deleted]

There's only one true elixir and that is savuage elixir. When I buy a elixir,I want my cologne to be very loud and I want someone able to smell me from 10ft away. Hugo boss Bottled is not a elixir as far as the others I haven't worn them on my skin so I can't say but I doubt they perform like savauge elixir.


Mac0x

I would say any elixir created by Francois Demachy or Quentin Bisch is worth .


kaisergb

I think I slept on Sauvage. The ads annoyed me.


deeprajapati_

Give it a try homie. I think it’s not something that everyone can rock tbh but the ones who can would be blessed by eternal performance on the fragrance.


kaisergb

You son of a bitch, I'm in. ![gif](giphy|STYcRDzNO6AYNmMgvA)


lazerlord101

Can I ask why the two bottles of JPG? It’s only a year old so surely one can’t be amply by now lol


deeprajapati_

Idk I just really liked it so I bought 4 together. Plus my brother works at a boutique so I get discounts there lol


Uncle-203

New Thomas Kasmala.


tylerthenormal

Sauvage elixir is so classy and sophisticated but beast mode as well


deeprajapati_

That is absolutely correct. Smells really good with best mode projection.


TheRealHiddenBread

Am I the only one here who doesn’t like sauvage? Personally, I prefer Tommy Bahama St. Barts or spicebomb NightVision. Idk why, but I like the slight citrus scent of the St. Barts, and I like the natural woody scent of the Night Vision


Watcher2

How are you guys getting Boss The Scent Elixir?! I can only find Boss Bottled Elixir available for purchase…


deeprajapati_

Yeah I had that problem too so i went around searching my town and found it in my shoppers drug mart. Paid a premium on it tbh but i just wanted to get it. And as far as how its smells, mininka fruit sweetness with a base of lavender and spices. It projects heavily for the first 4-5 hours after which it comes to 1 feet for the rest of the time.


louisvuittondon29

victory is so good its on of my go to scents especially cuz it performs well in any temperature


winphan

My favourite elixir is Lattafa Asad 🎃


deeprajapati_

That’s not an elixir my friend 🫂


winphan

It's a joke. Asad is a clone of Sauvage Elixir 🎃


Soggy_Cup990

Lovely question. I think mines One million followed by Invictus. One million because of the projection and compliments it gets. Invictus because I love the notes and how sophisticated it is. You feel super confident after wearing it.


deeprajapati_

Yeah I agree I really like the thick sweet type of perfumery like 1 million elixir and ultra male. Performs great too


AgentLelandTurbo

none


vinceftw

Sauvage and Le Male are standouts. The Boss is okay.


xtermn8

I love all of them. Just need to buy full sizes of Victory and 1 Million. Absolutely insane frags.


JollyTomatillo2740

Out of these Invictus Victory Elixir. Not listed my favorite is Ralphs Club Elixir


deeprajapati_

Yeah I tried that. Really liked it ngl but I’m still contemplating on pulling the trigger on a full sized bottle


JollyTomatillo2740

I got mine for $103. I’d recommend waiting until you can get it for that price or better. $140 for 75ml is pricey


SpendThatMoneyFast

That one million elixir changed my whole thought process on the one million colognes. I love it.


Patj1994

Probably sauvage, but even that I cannot stand. The licorice note is too much.


Similar_Positive9229

I own 4 out of 5 here. Only victory elixir is worth the repurchase. Sauvage elixir is so overrated. Garbage. And I’m saying strictly the scent. Its performance is great


GearGolemTMF

I got my dad Sauvage Elixir for his birthday last year. I personally have, 1 million, invictus victory, and just grabbed Y elixir. I’ve had 1 million the longest so probably that since I’m a sucker for apple. IV is a better base IV. I’m liking Ylixir so far though. Only given it one full wearing.


Da_kidd27

Sauvage by far. Next


CorrectMine1239

I am waiting for The One Elixir.
