Sauvage Eau de Parfum
Sauvage Eau de Parfum opens with a burst of juicy Calabrian bergamot, its citrus freshness immediately tempered by a warm, enveloping vanilla from Papua New Guinea. The heart reveals a spicy complexity of Sichuan pepper, lavender, star anise, and nutmeg, adding an aromatic, almost metallic edge. As it settles, a base of ambroxan and vanilla creates a sensual, ambery trail that is both powerful and refined. This is a fragrance of contrasts—fresh yet deep, spicy yet creamy—designed for the modern man who commands attention. It evolves beautifully on the skin, transitioning from a bright, energetic opening to a darker, more intimate dry-down that lingers with a sophisticated, animalic warmth.
Perfumer: François Demachy
Scent
The opening is a vibrant, zesty bergamot that quickly gives way to a spicy, aromatic heart of pepper and lavender. As it dries, a warm, creamy vanilla and ambroxan base emerges, adding depth and a sensual, almost animalic quality. The overall effect is powerful, modern, and distinctly masculine.
Season and wear
Best suited for cooler months, particularly autumn and winter, when its warm vanilla and spicy notes feel more comforting and its sillage is more noticeable. Ideal for evening wear.
Sillage and longevity
Strong. It projects noticeably for the first few hours, leaving a trail, then settles closer to the skin but remains perceptible. Long-lasting. It persists on skin for several hours to most of a day, and on clothing it can last even longer.
Perfumer and bottle
Released in 2018 as Eau de Parfum. The perfumer credit is François Demachy. The selected 100 mL bottle follows prior Dior capacity references where the exact product offers an equivalent size.
