Layering guide
Sauvage is the world's best-selling men's fragrance — and a clean ambroxan base that takes layering surprisingly well.

Oud Wood's smooth woods give Sauvage a refined, expensive base without fighting its freshness.
Two crowd-pleasers stacked — mint and ambroxan freshness up top, shared vanilla-amber warmth in the drydown.
If you have the Elixir, stack it with Spicebomb Extreme for a concentrated spiced-tobacco beast. Winter only.
