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.
