Elixir Battle: 1 Million vs Sauvage! Ladies Choice | Dior, Paco Rabanne

[@seancondon2097]

Love this format, featuring the best testers on the channel and comparing one to one the the way you would at the store before buying a new scent.

[@SoCalScents]

Thanks. Lots of tests like this on the channel too

[@jimmysack8454]

1 million elixir is my favourite of my entire collection, cause I like sweet scents. I don't like the Sauvage line, BUT since the sauvage elixir smells totally different than the rest I will definitely try it next time!

[@SoCalScents]

Definitely worth trying! Very different than Sauvage line

[@jaybrick8973]

One of my coworkers told me she just wants me to keep walking past her when I was wearing sauvage elixir because I see smelled so good lol the compliments I have gotten with that one is insane

[@SoCalScents]

Hell yeah!

[@saikura1500]

sauvage elixir any day for me, the performance is on another level compared to 1 million. scent profile is also amazing

[@SoCalScents]

Good for a nice brisk day 🙌

[@bradd8841]

I am not surprised, they are both good scents. And certainly everyones opinions and taste are theirs alone. However, with that being said one millions should target the demographics of under 30 more with its playful sweetness. Whereas Sauvage elixir takes elements from the 80s and mixes into something that is new and modern. It’s easy to see why Sauvage elixir is going to be more appealing for those that are a little older. Not everyone will agree with me on this and yes I would bet Money if you did a blind testing on a large group of people that this holds true.

[@SoCalScents]

It just depends. Guests in this videos are from 20-30’s and they picked the ones they liked. Sauvage has been pretty hit or miss with every guest so far.

[@atmontgomery93]

Another awesome video guys! Love the content, these videos are so fun to watch with all the ladies doing a compare between newer fragrances. That being said, One Million Elixir is just incredible.

[@SoCalScents]

Thanks Austin!

[@superonyx2]

bought a sauvage elixir decant when it first came out. Sprayed it on my skin and for the next 12 hours I realized I messed up. That scent gets annoying fast. Smells like it could have been Drakar Elixir. Too loud and too different from what most enjoy in the air.

[@SoCalScents]

Yeah, I only like it as 1-2 sprays in the cold weather. Anything more than that and it’s sooooooo much.

[@Koyote747]

I have both, they are so nice!!, completely different and for different occasions, Sauvage gives me daddy vibes, 1 Million gives me a playful vibe

[@SoCalScents]

100%

[@link2440]

It’s so crazy how much on paper makes a difference. Would rather you spray on your skin for these battles. Sauvage is just insanely good. The most complimented and never met someone who didn’t love it.

[@SoCalScents]

Always do paper because it presents a neutral playing field. It’s also how the perfumers test fragrances. Roja dove did a post about why a few months back.

[@link2440]

@@SoCalScents I’ll have to look it up. I’ve just smelled so many fragrances that come off different on paper. Y’all are great and consistent with your reviews! I just think mixing it up would be nice sometimes. Thanks for the response!

[@investigate711]

you gotta put skin chemistry into consideration because based off of me I got too many compliments with elixir from only women. i got both and elixir is by far the more compliment getting yet nuanced perfume. 10/10 prefer it more

[@SoCalScents]

Always use paper as it is the most neutral version of a fragrance. It’s also how the perfumers test them. Roja dove did a post about it a few months back

[@DabCityyy]

I'm wearing Sauvage elixir for 2023 aswell as a bit of Givenchy gentlemen boisee but everytime they smell Paco rabane and they react the way they do I feel like I should have given it a chance I havent even smelled it .

[@SoCalScents]

Def check it out next time you are at the mall or a Sephora

[@whatsnext4130]

Just started watching this video but I think 1 Million Elixir will win. It's more mass apealing in my opinion. With that being said they are both great fragrances.

[@SoCalScents]

And your guess was correct!

[@111Jeffrey]

Well I tried both of these at Macys, and I liked One Million Elixar but Sauvage Elixar I hated! My thing is that I have to like it 1st,because if I don't, it doesn't make me feel confident to be around woman. Plus I tried One Million Parfum and liked it better than the One Milion Elixar!

[@SoCalScents]

Go with the Parfum then 🙌

[@markart157]

1 Million Parfum is amazing!

[@Kevinbbbbb]

Thanks Jeff, Jade has the best nose and she always likes what she likes. 1 Million elixir is the way to go for me as I already own Sauvage elixir and probably not replacing it anytime soon.

[@SoCalScents]

And a bottle of that will last forever as you only need 1-2 sprays.

[@Orange-yp9bl]

the girls liked the one million so definitely getting that one ... Your thoughts on Armani code parfum . Do you have a video for this fragrance ...

[@SoCalScents]

In last months office video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYGveoWkf7aYfck 😊

[@uncleiroh7]

Sauvage Elixir is either you love or hate it. That‘s what I think because it‘s not my cup of tea

[@SoCalScents]

Yeah, that’s what I’ve found as well. I only like wearing it 1-2 sprays when it’s cold out and I’m outside. Better to be subtle with it then to be over the top with it.

[@Leroy175]

Too strong!

[@1.Emilian]

Appreciate the video and reactions Jeff. :-)

Thank you Emilian!

I love one million elixir. Sauvage elixir smells like something my grandad would wear. My fiancé hates sauvage elixir also.

@@SoCalScents She is a big Paco Rabanne fan. Pure XS and one million elixir are her favs

No, it doesn't. This scent was literally invented from scratch in the last decade. Your grandpa might have worn lavander barbershop fragrances but not this. Your fiance needs better taste.

[@SoCalScents]

@@lexi6081 I think they meant it smells old man, not that it smells like an old fragrance. The fragrance came out in 2021 after all. Though I can’t speak for them

[@lexi6081]

@SoCalScents I got a bit defensive cause I wanna protect this little gem from bad press. I get it when people call Beau De Jour 'grandpa smell' (I sill love it), but this scent is so modern to my nose, and young women are constantly asking me what it is. Ofc these things are subjective but I've tried vintage scents and they didn't have anything like this.

[@Masrafi]

i smelled elixir at my local macys a while ago but wasnt overly impressed with it for the price, i guess i need to go back and try it again. then again ive considered getting some MFK scents and this is far cheaper in comparison.

[@SoCalScents]

Significantly cheaper than any of the MFK’s. Hundreds less

[@brutongaster4404]

It's interesting two girls said they would wear 1 million themselves. I agree it's far more unisex than Savauge elixir which is on the extreme masculine end of the spectrum.

[@SoCalScents]

Yeah I couldn’t picture a girl wearing Sauvage elixir.

[@jla8999]

1millon for me ⬆️

[@cole4249]

I knew 1 million would win, Havnt tried it yet. Sauvage elixir I love, and then I hate it. Bottle looks so good tho, do I rebuy it? 😂 Im leaning toward I do, I love the holidays and the vibe is strong with that one.

[@SoCalScents]

Yeah sometimes I really dig it. Sometimes I’m not as into it. So good on those cold nights

[@lexi6081]

Elixir is not a good fragrance to test this way. Everyone hates it on first try if they aren't a fan of cinnamon super sweet bombs. Its magic is in the silliage. Most complimented fragrance I ever owned, and most addicting once you get a taste for it.

[@SoCalScents]

They just preferred One million elixir in comparison. Didn’t mean they didn’t like it (though some didn’t), but they preferred one over the other. It’s a preference choice for the ladies

[@kyzsl51]

Great vid! Which one would you say is more versatile?

[@SoCalScents]

Probably 1 million elixir.

[@Zebul333]

I don’t like PR fragrances I do like Dior; Sauvage elixir the performance is monstrous but the scent is not my favorite, I prefer Sauvage parfum or EDP .

[@Killakamikaze]

Great video jeff I got both bottles from that French website for a steal and I must say I prefer 1 million elixir I get this powdery pineapple smell which is amazing but I know there’s apple instead of pineapple in 1 million elixir As for sauvage Elixir I got hubba bubba bubble gum tape when I first smelled it but then the more I wore it I got to pickup the licorice note and just a Christmas vibe

[@SoCalScents]

Shantal gets the Christmas vibe too!

[@nicky168]

What French website?

[@JMM440xi]

As usual I am with Jade on this matchup. The dry down on one million is classy and manly. IMO more versatile than the OG. Has a more modern take on appealing masculine fragrances.

[@kimthegenuine6004]

great vid jeff! 1m elixir seems to appeal to the ladies whereas sauvage elixir seems to appeal to guys

[@SoCalScents]

Most definitely

[@Erick-hr5mv]

I just got an exlixer cologne. How many sprays do yall recommend? I do usually 6 sprays in regular parfum

[@SoCalScents]

Sauvage elixir is a 1-2 spray fragrance. Less is more with this one. 1 million elixir you can do that 4-6 range. Depending on what you are doing.

[@SoCalScents]

Elixir is one of the most expensive designers. It’s definitely not something I would blind buy, so see if you can sample it first. It fits best in the fall winter, and cooler spring. It’s a nice scent, but it’s super bold and you only need 1-2 sprays. So test it out first 🙌😊

@@SoCalScents I know, but Sauvage as a fragrance brand is polarizing. You either love it or you hate it. Changing up the spices and fresh top notes for Sauvage Elixir could be the difference for the people that hated the original smell of Sauvage to finally love a fragrance from the Sauvage line.
