Outside hui - inside pfui - or: a homage to glue
A short foreword, as this is my first comment on Parfumo: I have been a silent reader of this forum for a long time and I think it's great how the passion for good perfumes unites people - keep it up! :) Please be gracious with my first comment, no master has fallen from heaven yet! :)
So now to Dior Sauvage: As a now 28-year-old man who has been enthusiastic about good perfumes for 10 years, I have of course also noticed the hype surrounding the bestseller from Dior (it currently occupies second place in the Douglas top ten). Nevertheless, this fragrance, which has been available for almost 5 years now, has passed me by for a very long time, as I was simply very satisfied with my existing perfumes. After countless entries in forums and ratings on various Youtube channels, I have tested it myself in the last few days. I was most attracted by the frequent statements which Sauvage called a more intense and longer-lasting version of my (beloved) office fragrance Bleu de Chanel (Edt). Never before have I tried a perfume with so much media premature praise. On Saturday the time had finally come - the delivery from the well-known drugstore arrived at my place. Full of anticipation I opened the package. The packaging and the flacon have directly generated a positive response on my part: simple, elegant and with a magnetic closure. Dior has done a good job here, the presentation really appeals to me. Of course, I then immediately loosened the cap and sprayed two splashes of the eau de toilette on my neck. Full of expectation for the promised odour explosion, I sat down to let the scent work for me too. And what happened now? I immediately felt transported back to the handicraft lessons in the primary school, when twenty teenagers tried to create more or less beautiful works of art with a rough amount of liquid glue. And that really was it - the fragrance that is so popular with so many people? I was actually a little shocked because I have never tested a perfume that was so unlike my taste. This is still benevolently expressed, I would have loved to take an intensive shower immediately. But I wanted to give the fragrance a chance to develop and possibly change into a more pleasant direction. However, I waited four hours for this positive turn of events without success. It has never been so difficult for me to smell any scents from a perfume. After having planned a date in the evening, I had only one choice: to wash off the scent and put on my date and night out scent Azzaro Wanted by Night. The evening ended very positively, I was then made aware that her top still smells of my great perfume. I wonder if what happened to Sauvage would have happened to me Probably not. Simple, because with that scent on me, I wouldn't have been around people. Too bad Dior - you will leave me after a short visit directly without returning (unless I want to create a flashback to my primary school days). Only your flacon I find appealing.
The comparison Sauvage vs. BdC, which is often made on Youtube, is almost blasphemous in my opinion - if it were (very) exaggerated, it would be almost like having an Opel compete against a Porsche and then seriously discussing which of the two is the better one.
Dear Sauvage wearers, don't be annoyed by my comment - taste is (fortunately) very subjective. Everyone who loves this fragrance should continue to enjoy it as much as I did with my duo Bdc & Azzaro.
