Sauvage Parfum
Sauvage Parfum opens with a burst of sparkling citrus, immediately tempered by a smoky, resinous heart of elemi and olibanum. The creamy sandalwood and sweet tonka bean create a smooth, warm base that lingers with a sensual, animalic edge. This is a bold, intense fragrance that evolves from fresh to deeply amber, evoking moonlit prairies and campfires. It's a powerful statement for evening wear, leaving a rich, enveloping trail that is both modern and primal.
Perfumer: François Demachy
Scent
The opening is a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and mandarin, quickly giving way to a smoky, resinous warmth from elemi and olibanum. Creamy sandalwood and sweet tonka bean, with a hint of vanilla, create a rich, sensual amber base that feels both smooth and intense.
Season and wear
Best suited for fall and winter evenings, when its warm, enveloping nature shines. The intense, amber character makes it ideal for cooler weather and nighttime wear.
Sillage and longevity
Strong and projecting, especially in the first few hours. It leaves a noticeable trail, then settles closer to the skin but remains perceptible for a long time. Very long-lasting, typical of a parfum concentration. It can easily last through a full day, with a strong presence that persists for many hours.
Perfumer and bottle
Released in 2019 as 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.
