Wearing 'Eau Sauvage' is a statement in itself, a comment, a declaration.
The stunning, incomparable, unforgettable, and unforgotten men of our time wear and wore it, embody it and lived it.
The archetype of a masculine fragrance, just as these chosen gentlemen symbolize, characterize, and define the archetype of a man in his most multifaceted expressions.
Marlon Brando's monumental coolness in coherent, seemingly contradictory rebellion with his fiery intensity and wildness, behind which his high sensitivity and vulnerability shimmer in obvious subtlety.
--Musk, amber, bergamot, lemon, sandalwood, jasmine, cumin, vetiver
A daring Alain Delon, distinguished by his captivating laconicism.
The unwavering lone wolf, merciless, audacious, hot and cold, always in French aesthetics and allure, elusive in his own way.
--Vetiver, coriander, lavender, amber, musk, patchouli
Cary Grant, inimitable in his effortless, stylish, smooth elegance and nonchalant charm. His British dry wit, which sparks sharp-tongued brilliance from the screen. Before whom we mentally sink to our knees with every eye-rolling moment of his films, wishing that this moment could last forever and for all eternity.
--Jasmine, iris, rose, clove, lavender, sandalwood, bergamot, amber
Inherent to the Oriental: the mystically wistful gaze from the glowing, sparkling, incomparable eyes of Omar Sharif, which captivates us even decades after the last note fades, beyond the fall of the last curtain.
His own unique sense of loss and melancholic sensuality, only overshadowed by his cosmopolitan refinement and class.
--Musk, sandalwood, jasmine, rosemary, cumin, coriander, amber, patchouli
A Udo Jürgens, who expresses the daring finesse note by note.
A free spirit and creative daredevil, who was sometimes ahead of his time and the spirit of the times in his lyrics. Who captured truths in a sentence, in a text with pinpoint accuracy.
--Oakmoss, iris, lemon, musk, rose, clove, amber, sandalwood
Just as Willy Brandt, like hardly anyone else, mastered this on another level.
The visionary who instinctively knew that as a realist one must believe in miracles.
Which words and gestures time needs, and which will survive the times.
The charismatic presence, the sincere discomfort, the transparency of a sensitive, melancholic soul, the unique style, the unmistakable, rough timbre.
--Rosemary, cumin, basil, jasmine, lemon, vetiver, amber, patchouli, musk, sandalwood
These men (and a few more...) all wore 'Eau Sauvage' in their lives.
For some, it was a lifelong love (whereas they never managed this with the women in their lives), for others a fleeting liaison.
Yet they all were at some point connected to this fragrance.
In the presence of a man wearing 'Eau Sauvage', I become like a candle burning at both ends.
Like dark chocolate that melts gently and gradually in the mouth.
I, who seemingly is actually unapproachable, distant, not easily ignitable, comprehensible, and graspable.
But when 'Eau Sauvage' enters the room and fills it with its masculinity and expressiveness, I simply cannot help it..., then even I cannot help myself....
...Because this fragrance perhaps comes very close to my soul, too close ....?...
'Eau Sauvage' is concise, striking, masculine, unmistakable, and above all eclectic.
As a prologue, it has an overarching citrus-spicy freshness, yet the complexity and versatility that each man extracts from the fragrance with his individual biography, his own talents, his captivating personality, his crackling, stylish sex appeal in all conceivable facets have something worshipfully magical about them.
In his(!) immediate presence, the mystical undertone reveals itself. The blue note.
The hint of the last secret of the man who wears it.
It reveals itself for fragments of seconds, yet in the end, it is never disclosed....
That is the true, real, irresistible magic behind the superficial, fresh obviousness.
Na holla, wenn das nicht die ultimative Lobhudelei ist! Eau Sauvage ist aber auch sowas von gut. Wenn man mich zwingen würde, mich für einen Duft zu entscheiden: dieser wäre es!
mehr als einer Blue Note.
Chapeau!
