Cellophane Wrapping of Original vs Fake Dior Sauvage Elixir
The first thing that you may notice is the cellophane wrapping of perfumes. The wrapping of a fake Dior is done through cheaply made cellophane, which gives a loosen-up look.
The wrapping of the original Dior gives a professionally wrapped look. We already discussed this aspect in detail once we were reviewing original vs fake Dior Sauvage EDP.
Original vs Fake Sauvage Elixir Box
Let’s be very fair here. The counterfeit Box of Sauvage Elixir looks the same as the real one. The differences are minute here and difficult to spot if you do not have any references.
The major difference is the finishing of the product. You really will have to look at the tiny details of writings and etching of batch code and little bumps on the box at the front side.
However, let me admit that even if I am holding the fake Box in my hand I won’t be able to label it as fake unless I have the pictorial reference for knowing the differences. The only advice here is that once you hold the box and you have the slightest of the doubt then do not buy it.
Inside the Dior’s Box
The inside of Dior’s original packaging box is fully covered in dark black. The inside of the fake box has some black and white covering.
Also, the real perfume has a round shape foam sheet placed below the bottle. The fake perfume has no foam sheet.
Weightage Difference
Although it is very difficult for you to find this difference in absence of a weighing scale still there are weight differences between the original and fake Dior Sauvage Elixir Perfume.
The weight of an original Sauvage Elixir with the box packaging is 322 g whereas the fake is 302 g. Whereas, the weight of the perfume bottle without the box packaging is 221 g for the original and 210 g for the fake. The weight of the bottle’s cap is 32 g of original and 25 g of fake.
It is crystal clear that the overall weight of the original perfume is heavier than the fake one. It is because the original is made of a midnight blue lacquered glass bottle.

Sauvage Elixir Bottle Differences
Moreover, the finishing on Real Bottle is very premium and there are no flaws, however, the fake bottle finishing is easier to spot as refinements are missing. Give a close look at the side bumps which are not very refined in the case of fake Dior Sauvage Elixir vs the original.
Also, the writing on the real bottle is very crisp and a little small.
Cap Differences of Real vs Fake Dior Sauvage Elixir
The most prominent difference between the fake and real Dior Sauvage Elixir is the cap of the perfume.
Firstly the size of the fake cap is bigger than the real one. Not only in height but also in diameter. Secondly, the snugness of the real bottle is more and holds the weight of the bottle even if you give slight jerks while holding the cap.
Then the CD logo on the cap aligns perfectly with the Sauvage logo on the bottle. The half-magnetic snugness on the cap and bottle ensures that the writings and logo would align no matter how you put the cap back onto the bottle. This is not the case with fake Dior Sauvage Elixir.
The bee logo inside the original Sauvage Elixir cap is refined and shinier than the fake one.
The Atomizer Differences
The atomizer base of the fake Dior is slightly bigger than the real Dior. Moreover, the spraying power of real Dior is higher than the cheaply made one.
Moreover, the CD logo is well etched and refined whereas the finishing is poor on the fake Dior Elixir bottle atomizer.
Batch Code
The batch code on the original bottle and box matches. On the box, you can see it on the bottom which matches the etched batch code on the bottom of the original Sauvage Elixir bottle.
In the case of Fake Sauvage Elixir, the batch code is also written underneath the box but is missing from the bottle.
Huge Difference in the Prices
The price of a fake Dior perfume is too good to believe in. When the price of a Dior product is too low then you should know that there is something wrong.
To Sum Up the Difference between Original Vs Fake Dior Sauvage Elixir
After reading this article, differentiating between real and fake Dior Sauvage Elixir won’t be a problem for you. There are multiple ways through which you can find out whether your Sauvage Elixir is genuine or not.
