Dior and Baccarat are shining bright with a limited-edition crystal bottle handcrafted for the Sauvage Elixir, a scent beloved for its intensity. The resulting alliance brings together 200 uniquely numbered vessels, each one encapsulating the craftsmanship of Baccarat’s crystal makers.
Sauvage Elixir, inspired by the vastness of the wilderness, has now been encased in a bottle that radiates its exceptional luminosity. The Baccarat treatment elevates this masculine fragrance, presenting it in a perfume holder born from the elemental dance of fire, water, earth, and air.

The precious canister is regarded as a work of art, held in a dark solid oak case, creating a dramatic interplay between the crystal’s clarity and the wood’s density.

The creation of each 17 oz Sauvage Elixir bottle is a labor of love, requiring the skills of at least a dozen artisans. Through a synchronized process, they harness the four elements of nature to birth the crystal.

For the first time, the Sauvage Elixir finds a home in a translucent vessel, allowing the fragrance’s color to shine through. Adorned with the Sauvage name in palladium, traced with a brush, the bottle showcases a blend of finesse and elegance with Baccarat’s clean, untinted material making its presence known.

The cap also features a touch of palladium, wrapped around it like a delicate thread. This metal is “more precious than gold,” expresses Dior.

Spicy, fresh, woody, and now dazzling, the ultra-limited fragrance will breathe an air of opulence into grooming rituals for US$8,200.
