In Between
In between. This is the middle of three children, the tomato and the cucumber in the burger, the number six on the football field, or the assistant who has to observe the game from the stands. The truth is also something that often lies somewhere in between. And reality unexpectedly comes in between quite often.
Well, I expected nothing less from Eau Sauvage Extrême than an intensified, yes, extreme version of the classic Eau Sauvage. But it is not. I could have thought of that. I can read. Yatagan clearly states it in his statement. Well, that’s not a big deal.
Because what I perceive from this fragrance is excellent in itself. A fresh, soft-citrusy, fruitily ripe opening. The whole thing is subtly underscored with a slight spiciness. Lavender and mint are clearly noticeable in the heart. After about an hour, the vetiver joins in clearly and triumphantly. Longevity and sillage are top-notch. Excellently balanced without being intrusive.
After two days of testing, I must admit that Eau Sauvage Extrême does remind me of Eau Sauvage. But not of the EdT, rather of the two perfume variants from 2012 and 2017. It is primarily this creamy-woody base, this specific scent of vetiver, that unites both fragrances for me. The two perfumes are two works of art for me, but over time they were too overwhelming and opulent. Eau Sauvage Extrême, however, is exactly the more pleasant, fresher, and thus more wearable variant. It seems that François Demachy deliberately created Eau Sauvage Extrême as an intermediate step for the perfume variant. Deliberately, without wanting to remind of the big brother.
What else can I say in conclusion? Considered on its own, Eau Sauvage Extrême is an excellent EdT. A chypre at its best. And a clear recommendation to buy (as long as it is still available).
Best regards
