by Dior
Eau Sauvage Parfum by Dior is a powerful and deeply resonant fragrance that stands apart from the original Eau Sauvage, offering a mature, woody, and resinous experience. It opens with a bright, warm bergamot that is sweet, balsamic, and slightly creamy, reminiscent of a sun-warmed lemon. Within minutes, this fades into a dense, warm, and slightly sweet myrrh that dominates the composition, deepening into earthy, smoky, and aromatic notes. Vetiver appears subtly in the heart, lending a slightly aromatic, earthy dryness that balances the sweetness of the myrrh. The overall character is elegant and unapologetically masculine—deep, rich, and slightly mysterious—evoking the image of a sophisticated gentleman in a timeless setting. Its projection is substantial and long-lasting, with longevity consistently reported to exceed 10 hours, although care must be taken not to over-spray due to its potency. The scent works best in cooler months and is ideally suited for formal, cold-weather occasions, especially in winter or evening settings. While some users find the myrrh note overwhelming or even too sweet for their taste, the overall experience is universally praised as high-quality, compelling, and classically refined. It is not recommended for young men or casual settings, and its intense presence demands confidence from the wearer.
