Dior composed Sauvage Parfum around a wild expanse under a blue-tinged night sky, with the smell of a crackling fire rising into the air. It is the warmest, most ambery member of the family.
Why you will love this fragrance
Sandalwood is what makes it. A Sri Lankan note runs through the whole composition, milky and smooth, and it turns the familiar Sauvage freshness into something that sits close to the skin and glows.
- A highly concentrated interpretation of Sauvage
- Spicy mandarin and bergamot in the opening
- Sri Lankan sandalwood, milky and smooth, at the centre
- Cedar with an unexpected jammy raspberry facet
- Vanilla absolute wrapped in slightly bitter tonka bean
- Warm, ambery and close to the skin
- Sandalwood grown with care, then left to grow free in harsh country
The scent
Mandarin and bergamot open it with a fervent, spicy freshness. Underneath, a note of Sri Lankan sandalwood heightens and envelops the whole composition, unleashing the full power of its milky, smooth accords. Cedar joins it and surprises with a jammy raspberry facet.
The Sauvage vanilla absolute is wrapped in a slightly bitter tonka bean, which is what keeps the warmth from turning sweet.
Who it is for
Anyone who wants Sauvage for the evening, for winter, or for skin rather than a room. It is the version that reads as grown-up and intimate rather than sporty.
How to wear it
Two sprays to the neck and chest. It performs best on warm skin — apply straight after a shower and let it develop for ten minutes before deciding.
