Description
Été Sauvage – where the juicy, spicy freshness exudes new sensual, enveloping and mysterious facets of vanilla absolute; amply renewing itself with the signature of an ingenious composition. Calabrian bergamot, as juicy and spirited as ever, invites new spicy notes to add fullness and sensuality, as the woody, ambery trail of ambroxan is wrapped in the smoky accents of vanilla absolute… Inspiration drawn from the magical hour of twilight; mixed with the coolness of the night, the burning desire that exudes the profound effect it’ll leave on those who smell this on the wearer. The sky is set ablaze, the magic unfolds.
Top notes: bergamot
Middle notes: nutmeg, star anise, sichuan pepper, lavender
Base notes: vanilla, ambroxan
Été Sauvage was launched in 2018. The nose behind this fragrance is Hany Hafez.

Note: this Alexandria scent was inspired by the Parfum version of Sauvage, not the EDT, so that’s what I based this review on.
I smelled Ete Sauvage and Sauvage EDP side by side on my wrists and they are virtually identical. The Alexandria version softens the ambroxan note a bit so it’s not quite so harsh and stringent, which I like.
I think anyone who enjoys Sauvage (either the EDT or the EDP, honestly) will really like this version, especially for the added longevity.
Personally, though, I’m not a huge fan, just because I’m not a huge fan of the original Sauvage to begin with. But I guess if I had to wear something that smelled like Sauvage, I’d go with the Alexandria bottle for the more refined ambroxan approach, and superior staying power.

Well this is a dead ringer for Dior Sauvage. From start to finish. Extremely well done. Considering the price for 60 ml ($40 US) I would say this is worth the price for fans of the Dior juice. Longevity and projection are the same as Sauvage. A clear winner from this house. Enjoy!
