Francis Kurkdjian set out to build Sauvage around the power of water rather than alcohol. The result is an innovative alcohol-free formula exclusive to Dior — as fresh as an eau de toilette, as intense as a parfum.
Why you will love this fragrance
Removing the alcohol changes everything. There is no sharp burst on application, just a freshness that arrives whole and stretches out far longer than it should. It also sits gently on skin that reacts to alcohol-heavy sprays.
- An innovative alcohol-free formula exclusive to Dior
- As fresh as an eau de toilette, as intense as a parfum
- Cool spices drenched in water, fuller-bodied than usual
- Blanched lavender, freed of its aromatic sharpness
- Deeply potent elemi resin for a radical, vibrant freshness
- Musky woods in the trail
- Gentler on skin that reacts to alcohol
The scent
The spices are drenched with water and develop in an unexpected way — their freshness intensifies and becomes fuller-bodied. A deeply potent elemi resin joins them, and together they create a strong, radical vibration.
The lavender is bleached, freed of its aromatic accents to create a new kind of freshness, and the whole thing settles into musky woods. Kurkdjian moved away from the usual lemon and bergamot entirely to build it this way.
Who it is for
Anyone whose skin finds alcohol-based sprays harsh, anyone who wants freshness that lasts past lunchtime, and Sauvage wearers curious about where the line can still go.
How to wear it
Spray generously — without alcohol there is no burn and no need to hold back. Neck, chest and forearms. It layers well over Sauvage Eau de Toilette if you want more of it.
