I want to do it justice
SO MANY BAD REVIEWS?!
so, i have owned the EDT, EDP, and this PARFUM version of sauvage. And I really want to help you to discern what is true about this fragrance, because so many people, because of olfactory fatigue, bash this fragrance for its lack of performance...
Ok! so let's compare.
IMO, the EDP is the least sweet version of sauvage, while having the BEST performance and having the most prominent ambroxan note. If you owned the EDP, you'll know that when you spray it on your neck and the juice gets on your shirt collar, even after you wash it, you can smell a very prominent, beautiful and metallic medicinal ambroxan.
Parfum, while not having the beast mode of EDP, is still very viable. THE KEY to be able to smell it is to spray it at least half arm length away from yourself to let the midst cover a large area, and only do 1-2 sprays. if you do this on your stomach area, I guarantee you you can smell it strongly for at least 5 hours, afterwards it settles down a bit but never a skin scent. The Parfum really reminds me more of the edt than the edp, but with added sandalwood richness.
The Parfum also won't project more than 3 feet away from you after it settles so it is significantly more office friendly. to tell you a story, when I first smelled sauvage edt it was on someone else, I didn't know what it was I was smelling but my initial thought was the person who was wearing it is an arrogant asshole. It smelled good but I laughed to myself, yeah, that person is exactly an ass of a person. The scent was incredibly aggressive so I don't think people would perceive it positively.
One note DIOR mentioned that I DO NOT perceive at all is the tonka bean. A lot of people say this fragrance is powdery. I don't get that at all. to my nose, after the initial mandarin sourness recedes, all I get is a very pleasant yet strong mixture of sandalwood and ambroxan aroma.
In conclusion:
IMO, Sauvage is the best blue scent DNA, reason being that it has character. My collection mainly consists of old school classic scents like habit rouge edt, eau sauvage edt etc... But you know, once in a while I really miss the linear ambroxan stuff.
Smellwise I truly think the EDP is the best because I perceive the ambroxan the most in that composition. However, I don't think it is as wearable due to its monstrous performance.
PARFUM for the win!
