No. 240E

First Impressions & Dry Down

No. 240E by Loris aims squarely for Sauvage Elixir, and it gets surprisingly close. The opening blasts with those spiced Christmas vibes – heavy on the nutmeg and cinnamon, backed by cardamom. It’s a bit more synthetic and sharper than the Dior, maybe 91% similar at this stage. The lavender heart emerges smoother, thankfully. The licorice and sandalwood base is where it differs most, feeling a little less rounded and ambery, a bit more dry. Still, the general DNA is undeniably there.

Is it Worth It?

If you want that Sauvage Elixir experience without dropping serious cash, No. 240E is a solid option. It's not a perfect match, the original is richer, but it captures the essence . Think of this as your dumb-reach, everyday Elixir. Wear it to the office (with caution), date night, or when you want to feel a little more put-together. This one will get the job done.

How Long Does it Last?

This one sticks around. I got a solid 6-7 hours with moderate projection for the first two. It projects a noticeable scent bubble that tapers off, but it lingers on clothes for well over a day. Don't overspray, or you'll choke people out.
