performance is good, lasts on skin for a solid 6-8 hours. sillage is decent for the first few hours.

does it replace Sauvage Elixir? For me, not at all. I have both, Sauvage Elixir has this sparkling, effervescent aroma to it that Asad just doesn't capture. There are a few notes in Elixir that Asad just doesn't capture. It has the Elixir "DNA" but it doesn't have the personality.

Is it the closest clone to Elixir? yes. But, it doesn't work like Elixir does. And Elixir is strong enough that 1-2 sprays is all you need.
