#savemefromkurky | Doesn't smell like Sauvages... but it is better than the Sauvages! Who knew?
* Get this before Kurky puts his "masterful" hands on it

This fragrance is quite the plot twist. I’ll admit - my expectations were shaped by the bottle. It looks classy, but visually about as thrilling as a tax seminar. Thankfully, what’s inside far surpasses its understated exterior. If you get the chance, do yourself a favor and give this one a sniff. It was created by Demachy, so you might be positively surprised too.

Eau Sauvage doesn’t get as much hype as Dior’s other lines - cough Sauvage Elixir cough - yet somehow manages to score higher in ratings. A true underdog story.

You can read the notes, sure, but this fragrance defies easy description. It leans slightly gourmand, with an intriguing blend of orange/citrus, sweet lavender, and a whisper of anise. It’s linear - meaning the scent doesn’t evolve much over time, just fades gracefully. That said, after about 30 minutes, the bitterness of the orange steps aside, letting the anise become more pronounced. Simple, but effective.
A note of caution for those who don't like resinous scents. This fragrance is quite balanced, non of the notes is significantly more prominent, but I would say that Eau Sauvage has a perceptible resinous base (the Elemi) which you will notice.

Expect decent sillage (an arm’s length), eight solid hours on skin, and a performance on clothes that goes beyond a whole day.

A fragrance that earns its keep in your collection is one you can wear anywhere, and Eau Sauvage delivers.
Formal event? Check.
Relaxed weekend vibes? Absolutely.
Office setting? Perfect.
It even makes a strong alternative to wedding staples like Amouage Reflection.
While lavender leans traditionally masculine, the hint of sweetness nudges this firmly into unisex territory. As for age, it feels most natural on the 30+ crowd, but honestly? Wear what makes you happy, these are just opinions.

In summary, Eau Sauvage is the quiet, confident type unassuming at first glance, but surprisingly versatile, reliable, and well-rounded. A worthy addition to any collection or good for those who can manage to survive with just a few bottles (i.e. not me).

The best vetiver-based perfume on the market
I admit. After I had finished my 2012 bottle of the original version, my expectations we kinda mixed about Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum 2017, and that was even before it was delivered to me.

The fragrance is received very well on one of the most popular fragrance websites, but there is a general consensus about how the new and the only version now has been freshened up and lost its prior staying power and projection.

But, Dior is Dior, and they rarely destroy their pillar fragrances with reformulations, and so is the case with the newest formulation of legendary Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum.

Here are my 5 quick takes:

- The best vetiver-based fragrance of all time
- A citrus aromatic fragrance with great longevity
- Created by Francois Demachy in 2017
- One of the best all year round signature-worthy perfumes of all time
- It works the best on a more mature and serious audience

In the end, you can’t go wrong with Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum 2017. This flanker and all the other reinterpretations of Eau Sauvage are everything a modern man would want from a masterful work perfume.

One thing that separates Eau Sauvage from other elegant perfumes from yesteryear is the absence of oakmoss, and thanks to this, I can safely say it smells contemporary.

Do not get scared from “manly” notes here, you owe yourself to own this legend.

Classy Masculine Fragrance
Eau Sauvage Parfum opens with a sharp, citrus/lemon punch that quickly subsides as the lavender comes boldly on stage. As the lavender slowly subsides, it begins to blend with mild vetiver making its appearance followed by the resin. Once settled, the scent is a very masculine, smooth combo of lavender, vetiver and resin. Topping it all is a very, very mild, subtle baby powder scent. By this time, the citrus is pretty much gone for me.

Longevity and projection are quite good, which can be enhanced even more by spraying on clothing. Can see this being used by any age,since it's a modern, unique fragrance unlike 80's masculine powerhouses. If a young man normally prefers very sweet fragrances, Eau Sauvage might be reserved for more formal special occasions.

It surprised me - wasn't expecting it to be this good. Quite a masculine masterpiece fragrance and am happy to have a full bottle.

A classy, masculine fragrance
Clean, fresh, long lasting modern barbershop type perfume with a good sillage. Lovely zesty lemon blended so well with lavender and dense elemi that gives off a fresh toned down leather vibe. Lavender and vetiver give this so much character. This scent evolves quite a lot from start to finish, all the notes in this work well. Even though there are many other similar styled fragrances, this one just stands out.
Gentlemanly, not offensive, luxurious. Beautifully done.

Modern masterpiece!
A true gentlemen's fragrance, doesn't matter how old you are, if you carry yourself with maturity and a sense of nobility, this is the fragrance for you. I wear this to work with confidence, it projects well and it leaves a trail of it's smoothness for 7+ hours. One of my signature fragrances that will always be in the collection.
A true masterpiece!

One of my blind buy fails, unfortunately. It doesn’t smell bad, it’s just not a scent I enjoy. Smells like an old man.

Very heavy hand on the bergamot that gives it the dreaded "old man smell" in my opinion. Very similar to Le 3rd by Caron. Try before buying!

Beautiful in its simplicity. Neroli and bergamot guide your nose through barbershop talcum towards an ambery, resinous foundation.

More wearable but slightly less interesting than the original while maintaining the DNA. Less of a loud top end and more of a solid base.

This is a showstopper of a multi-purpose, multi-season signature scent! How does something this floral sweet and citrusy smell so masculine?
