Azlan Oud Bleu Edition

Notes & Nuances

Azlan Oud Bleu Edition tries its best to channel Sauvage Elixir. Right off the bat, you get that spiced blast - nutmeg and cardamom are definitely present. It aims for that dense, almost syrupy opening, but it's a bit rougher around the edges, a little more synthetic. The lavender in the heart peeks through, though it’s not as smooth or refined as Dior’s version. The drydown is where it differs most. It's sweeter, leaning heavily into the licorice and amber, less focused on the patchouli that defines Elixir’s base. I'd say it's around 75-85% similar overall.

Conclusion

If you're craving that Sauvage Elixir DNA but don't want to drop a small fortune, Azlan Oud Bleu Edition is a viable option. It’s got some synthetic qualities, especially up close, but it does the job well enough. it's hard to complain. This clone will work just fine for everyday wear. A great daily driver for fall and winter evenings.

Longevity & Projection

Projection is strong for the first couple of hours - definitely fills a room. After that, it settles closer to the skin. Longevity is pretty decent, I get a solid 6-8 hours on my skin. It's certainly no beast mode like some claim Elixir to be, but it's adequate.
