Sauvage Eau de Parfum or Sauvage Elixir
Not a concentrate — a different Sauvage entirely
VS
Sauvage Eau de Parfum
«Peppery vanilla that stays the default everyday Sauvage.»
Sauvage Elixir
«Cinnamon, licorice and cardamom whipped into a spicy concentrate you catch across an elevator.»
All they share is the surname: Elixir isn't a louder copy of the EDP but a separate spicy construction. EDP holds an even peppery-vanilla line for any day; Elixir fires cinnamon and licorice and fills an enclosed space in seconds. Everyday, EDP; a cold-weather statement at close range, Elixir.

EDP sits wider — office, daylight, any season; Elixir opens only in cold and at distance.
How similar they are
Scent40%
Despite one name, it's only the same family: they share just lavender and nutmeg, while cinnamon and licorice haul Elixir the other way.
Vibe43%
And they feel different by the same half: EDP even and polite, Elixir dense and demonstrative.

Only two notes overlap; grapefruit, cardamom and licorice make Elixir spicier and darker, while vanilla and pepper keep EDP light and smooth.
EDP, from 2018, smoothed the original's wild freshness; Elixir, in 2021, went the opposite way — thicker, spicier, louder.
One designer house, and the word Elixir promises a concentrate — it keeps the promise, just not the way buyers expect.
Elixir is searched more than EDP — the younger, louder version pulled the attention onto itself, despite EDP's 'core' status.
