Right out of the gate, it opens with a very sharp, sharp blast of black pepper and ginger. It is masculine, mature, and demands your attention immediately. As it settles down after about twenty minutes, the lavender and cypress come forward, giving it a clean, traditional barbershop elegance, but it is anchored by a very deep, smoky incense. It smells incredibly expensive. My wife noticed it immediately and remarked that it smelled like something a gentleman would wear to a theater gala. The longevity is excellent. I applied three sprays yesterday morning around 8:00 AM, and I could still distinctly smell the warm, resinous vanilla and patchouli base notes when we sat down for dinner at 6:00 PM. It does have massive scent trail after the first two hours.

If you like the spicy/peppery/woody style and want a more affordable scent with that vibe, Gaith is a solid choice. Good scent profile, obvious DS Elixir from first spray, If you expect heavy, all-day projection and beast-mode longevity like "some" designer powerhouses, this might disappoint you (unless you can spray a lot or on clothes). Best to treat it as a “good value” rather than premium performance.

Pretty good clone of savauge elixir. I have had it a year or so and it has definetley mellowed out with time. It’s probably 80% accurate, maybe 85.
