Comparison of the EDT with the EDP
My statement four years ago: Absolutely chemical, biting pineapple scent with a presumed fragrance enhancer. A brutal chemical cocktail that reminds me of insect spray.
Back then, I was new to the world of perfume and was looking for something suitable among the recommended scents at that time. I had written off Sauvage until recently, especially since I tested the sample from last year again, which had been stored in my basement until now. The impression was still as described above.
A few days ago, I visited some friends, and someone was wearing a great perfume that, as it turned out, was actually Sauvage.
In the meantime, there seem to be a total of four variations of it, which is why I feel compelled to conduct a "big" fragrance test among all the variants again.
The recently acquired EDT actually smells just as good to me as it did last weekend. Although there isn't much to describe, as a significant fragrance development is not to be expected. The opening is sweet-fresh and somewhat reminiscent of anise or licorice, with light pineapple and synthetic aquatic notes floating in the background. Everything feels finely tuned and well woven together, with a certain creaminess further enhancing the scent profile.
The drydown is very pleasant and somewhat greenish. I couldn't smell any insect spray or anything chemical this time.
Either the formulation has changed, or my nose has become somewhat dulled, which could presumably be due to my first COVID-19 infection in March 2023.
I like the EDT significantly better compared to the EDP as it is softer or finer. The EDP is overall not only stronger (more spice, synthetic), but it also unfortunately reminded me briefly of toilet spray. The drydown here smells rather peppery and spicy, and the longevity and sillage are about the same for both.
I will change my rating for the EDT from 5.5 to 8.5, so a purchase is being considered. I would rate the EDP at 7.5 due to its too intense opening for me. However, I will first test the other two candidates.
