From the landscape of Corsica..
This fragrance simply takes me back to my Corsican vacations.
The warm, resinous, leathery start reminds me of the austere, warm scent of pine trees in the bay of Calvi.
As the fragrance progresses, this impression blurs with salty notes, like the sea breeze that constantly drifts through the bay. You stand on the beach in front of the pines and breathe in the cool sea air.
Finally, the fragrance takes you into the Corsican maquis - the dry scent of immortelle blends with the other impressions and becomes the mountain air that you breathe in when you climb Calvi's local mountain, the Capu di a Veta, and look out from the maquis over the golden-yellow fields of immortelle grown by Corsican farmers, all the way to the coast.
For me, the scent is simply a nostalgic yet incredibly sensual experience that makes me reminisce about beach walks, cliff jumping and mountain hikes. A small (and quite affordable) 30ml bottle will most likely be joining my collection very soon.

A few words about the H/S, price and season:
The fragrance lasts longer than average, yesterday on my skin at 26°C it was 9-10 hours in which I could clearly perceive the fragrance.
The sillage is also good, in the first few hours the fragrance radiated at least 1-2 meters and even after that I could still perceive it well in the air even as a wearer.
The price is quite good. Especially with the generous dose of immortelle, which is very expensive as a raw material (about 100kg of flowers make one liter of oil).
In my opinion, the fragrance can be worn at any time of the year, but I recommend it the most even in summer, as it harmonizes very well with the heat and simply smells like dry, Corsican air to me.

What can I say..
...Sauvage is simply a timeless classic. And the EdP version takes away some ambroxan and replaces it with more lightness and freshness, which makes this version less penetrating and mMm also better.
Sauvage EdP is just a pretty much perfect perfume....
