Dior presented Sauvage Elixir in September 2021, at the same time as a new Miss Dior. The house describes it as an extraordinarily concentrated fragrance, crafted in the manner of a rare liqueur, and says that only the quality of its raw materials made this concentration possible.
It wants it as rare as a red moon in a night sky, inspired by a bewitching moon that bathes an ink-blue desert in its red light. The freshness of Sauvage blends with a heart of spices, a tailor-made lavender essence and a blend of rich woods.
A lavender from Nyons
The house specifies that its lavender is a Nyons PDO lavender, blended from several carefully selected harvests. It sums up the fragrance as a spicy grapefruit and a heady lavender, set on soft, velvety woods.
As for the whole line, Johnny Depp is its face: Jean-Baptiste Mondino films him in a night desert, under a red moon, rallying a pack of wolves with his guitar.

The advertising
Desert, red moon and pack
Johnny Depp, filmed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino in a nocturnal desert under a red moon, rallies a pack of wolves.
The film unfolds in an arid desert, under a deep night pierced by a red moon, in dense, saturated colors. Johnny Depp, the face of Sauvage since the line's launch in 2015, plays the chords of Wild Thing on guitar and rallies a pack of wolves. It is directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino, produced by Iconoclast, with cinematography by Matias Boucard. A video source announces a release in September 2021, without confirmation from the house, and a thirty-second spot titled Le nouvel elixir circulates in France in October 2021.
A subsequent campaign devoted to the perfume in 2025 reunites Johnny Depp and Jean-Baptiste Mondino, for a face-off with a puma. It is described as designed in-house, rolled out across television, digital, social and print, with a first broadcast on September 1, 2025.
