Emper Perfumes Legend Elixir
Legend Elixir is a modern fougere in Emper's Legend line, and its note pyramid matches Dior Sauvage's own published structure note for note rather than loosely, which is treated here as strong enough evidence to name Sauvage as the inspiration even without a retailer explicitly using the word dupe.
