Even though there are already numerous comments about this fragrance, I still have to say a few words about this hotly debated scent. There are rarely fragrances that can excite the masses while simultaneously irritating them.
I would like to share my experiences with this fragrance. I belong to the group of people who like to buy decants/samples from other users to test them in everyday life. I took a long break from perfumes, so I didn’t even notice the hype surrounding this fragrance. When the decant finally arrived and I applied the first spray to my skin, I thought only one thing: "Phew... what is this intense stuff!"
Something really bit into my nose and was so peppery, sharp, and unusual that I simply liked it because I had never smelled anything like it before. That must be the Ambrox(an).
Well... off we go to practical application. Topical application on the skin and off to the hospital. It should be noted that I work as a doctor in the hospital and on that particular day I had night duty on the ward and in the emergency room.
The shift started quite calmly and became wilder and wilder over time. The sprayed Sauvage, which I had strongly noticed in the first hours, was increasingly gone... or so I thought! About 6 hours later, when I was on the ward to clarify some things with the nursing staff, I was stopped on my way back to the emergency room:
"Doctor!"
I turned back: "Yes?"
"What’s the name of the perfume you’re wearing?"
"Dior Sauvage. Is it that bad? Can you still smell it from that far away??" (I was about 3 meters away)
"No! It smells incredibly good!"
I was completely fascinated by this fragrance for a few minutes. I certainly hadn’t showered with this scent. The shift lasted a while longer, and I actually received a total of 4 compliments that night (one nurse even approached me to ask for the name of the fragrance).
One thing was certain: The bottle will be purchased! And so far, I have not regretted it. Perhaps it is precisely this medical-chemical note that deters some hospital-phobes, but it creates euphoria among those who work in the medical sector. I can say with certainty: Even with a certain synthetic quality, many people will like it, even love it!
Even though this fragrance should be known in Parfumo or in the "Frag-Community," it is still relatively unknown to most people. If you like the fragrance, wear it and don’t let anyone tell you that everyone wears and knows it (and even if they do... so what?).
The longevity and projection are outstanding. Even if you can’t smell it anymore yourself... it’s just there! Therefore:
Topical application at your own risk. For risks and side effects, read the package leaflet or ask your doctor or pharmacist!
Oops, I clicked the wrong button and accidentally reported your response (soooorrrryyy). So, in our hospital, that was never an issue. There are always a few people who can’t stand it and try to "forbid" it. But strictly speaking, there’s no reason not to allow it.
