A stronger version of Eau Sauvage, the old fashioned way

I can get the idea: Eau Sauvage, being fleeting, deserved a flanker delivering what the original did not: who does not want more of a good thing? Well, here it is.

The problem was solved with stronger top notes, I can detect basil playing around the lemon and from then on a spicy citric composition leaning in favor of the hesperidic notes: aldehydes, indeed. Leave the orris root, jasmine, coriander, laurel, rosemary and sandalwood behind. As to the basenotes, the same. Point in case, ES Concentrée does not show much complexity when compared with the original, not a bad thing.

Something is gained, some punchiness, longevity and projection; something is lost, complexity.

A good option for the Summer and the Spring if you find the original somehow bland.

Finding the vintage (blog)

Hello fragrance fam! Today's blog about "finding the vintage" we have an amazing flanker titled EAU Sauvage Extreme! In my opnion its a stronger, and more basil forward version of the original EDT.
This is an easy to find vintage, but maybe confusing if your not fully aware.
This version was never reformulated, and was discontinued before 1993. For the vintage version you need to search for a bottle that says "Concentree" in the title.
They re-released this in 2010 in an identical bottle, with the same name, but removed the word "concentree". The newer version is a very modern version of Eau Sauvage, with a hefty dose of ambroxan, and smells nothing like the original "concentree".
Hope this helps, enjoy the Journey!

Wow, is this deep

I happened upon half used bottle of this in a thrift store in 1997. I used it as a signature and bought another bottle later. It has an imperial class about it that nothing has compared. The original lacks its strength. Dior made a brilliant choice turning up the notes to an extreme frequency.

The citrus means business and the patchouli and oakmoss play important supporting role. The bay and sandalwood play well together. Its really a fine crafted composition. Perfect in every way!

I only use for special occasions now that is hard to find. It defined the quality of Dior in the 1980s.

Appropriate Name: Truly an extreme, intensified "Eau Sauvage"

After the irritation with the "Eau Sauvage" perfume, which is darkly bitter and medicinal and has very little in common with "Eau Sauvage," I immediately found myself on the "right" wild water trail with the "Extrême" version.

The name is truly fitting; this is a high-speed offshoot of the classic that smells more voluminous, intense, and distinctive.

80% of it is based on the original DNA, while the remaining 20% enriches or alters the original scent towards a stronger Chypre emphasis in the form of more lavender-leather-moss-wood nuances.

Overall, the fragrance, especially from the heart/base, moves significantly closer to Chanel's "Pour Monsieur."

All components seem to be used in higher concentrations than in the original "Eau Sauvage," and the sillage as well as the longevity are optimized.

All in all, a flawless variant of the classic that, for me, would be more of a purchase incentive than the (now somewhat softened by reformulation) original fragrance. Additionally, I really like the connection to "Pour Monsieur."

Very helpful Review

Eau Sauvage Extreme, extreme also for women?

After I already tested Eau Sauvage and liked the fragrance, I have found another one that I could imagine in my collection. Although I am just at the beginning of testing men's fragrances.

Just like the classic Eau Sauvage, I can also very well imagine that women could love Extreme ;) while Eau Sauvage is lighter, more citrusy, and by far less spicy-woody ;)

It is immediately spicier upon application, strongly characterized by basil, but also citrus notes like bergamot, lavender, and especially patchouli. A few minutes later, I can perceive the typical scent of aldehydes, which gives the fragrance longevity. Additionally, intense woody-spicy elements from coriander, rosemary, bay leaf, and sandalwood are strongly detectable. In the base, there are mossy notes, robust musk, earthy patchouli, and also cedar, resulting in a beautiful classic men's fragrance that, in my opinion, does not smell too masculine...
However, in the base note, the citrus notes dissipate, leaving behind a warm spicy-woody scent with an animalic note!
