Été Sauvage
by Alexandria Fragrances
Été Sauvage by Alexandria Fragrances offers a refined, close-to-skin interpretation of Dior Sauvage, with a dry, spicy-lavender core and a subtle amber-vanilla warmth. It captures the essence of Sauvage EDP more than the original EDT—especially in the drydown—delivering a smoother, less aggressive version of the iconic scent. The fragrance performs best as a daytime wear, with moderate sillage that lingers on the skin and projects subtly. However, performance is inconsistent across users: some report excellent longevity and projection, while others note that it quickly fades to a delicate skin scent, even after multiple sprays.
Pros
- +Delivers a high-fidelity approximation of Dior Sauvage EDP with a more balanced, less abrasive drydown.
- +Offers superior longevity compared to the original EDT, making it a strong contender for those seeking extended wear.
- +Provides a wearable, refined alternative for fans of Sauvage who prefer subtlety over aggression.
Cons
- −Performance is highly variable—some users report weak projection and rapid fading.
- −Price point is considered overpriced relative to the original Dior version, especially considering refill options.
- −Not ideal for those seeking a bold, far-reaching fragrance; it remains intimate and personal rather than statement-making.
