Rocked this today and honestly, it feels like the best of both worlds between Dior Sauvage and Creed Aventus.
It kicks off with a blast of fresh bergamot, spicy pepper, and a touch of citrus that gives that Sauvage-style fresh energy. After the opening settles, you start to catch that fruity-smoky vibe similar to Aventus — thanks to the mix of jasmine, lavender, and a bit of saffron and vetiver adding depth and character. As it dries down, it turns smooth and woody with ambroxan, amber, and patchouli creating a warm, masculine finish that lasts for hours on my skin and clothes. Projection is strong but not a powerhouse like CDN Intense Man—for the first hour it’s striking, it then eases into a clean, woody skin scent around the 4 hour mark and longevity is around 7–9 hours on my skin & clothes. Overall, Urban Man Elixir blends the freshness and spice of Sauvage with the smoky-fruitiness of Aventus — bold, modern, and perfect when you want to smell sharp without breaking the bank, slowly investing in Middle Eastern frags and this didn’t disappoint at all.
