If Eau sauvage is the best olfactory creation for man, what is this? In my opinion this fragrance is the forefather of the “Eau Sauvage” family. It is the classic (identical) but perfected (persistence) version. Sometimes reformulations are bad, but in this case Eau Sauvage Extreme reflects the concept “The pupil has surpassed the teacher”. Roudnitska (which I consider to be one of the greatest noses ever appeared on this planet) has surpassed itself with this version in 1984 and later in 2010 Demachy has done nothing but continue in the wake of the previous nose. The fragrance is EXCELLENT !. A color for this perfume: Lime. A state of mind: Perfectionist. A celebrity: Leonardo da Vinci. Among my favorite fragrances!
Rating: 10/10

I don’t know since when this happened, probably around 2010, Eau Sauvage Extreme has been reformulated as has in Eau Sauvage original, where the original ES still keeps the same aesthetics despite being cheapened in citrus note and chypre, Eau Sauvage Extreme can barely be recognize as it was, totally different, dramatically changed!
The old ESE is a de facto flanker of Diorella family (includes Eau Sauvage, Nina Ricci L’Air du Temps vtg, Eau de Hermes vtg, Madame Rochas vtg, Chanel Cristalle and 31 Rue Cambon EDT/EDP, and even part of Amouage Jubilation Woman) more than ES itself, a legendary chypre in perfumery. The first sight would probably suggest they are nearly the same scent bottled in different vessels, but the details can tell. ESE is a fougere take on Diorella, as well as a react to the great success of Givenchy Monsieur and YSL pour Homme at that time. It opens with a more woody and spicier accord (due to lavender and coriander) which brings ESE a wild and forest-like feel and with a creamier (I can detect carnation and sandalwood but not listed) nuance compared to Diorella, thus it makes ESE has a bit more resemblence to Amouage Jubilation Woman in drydown, or say a missing link between Diorella and Jub Woman. Truely a masterpiece!
The new ESE has stepped into another territory. You can call it a hypothetical Terre d’Hermes Eau Tres Fraiche, even closer to the idea of that than the actual one (while the so-called TdH Fraiche is more like a Nicolai New York Eau Tres Fraiche or Encre Noire Sport Intense). It’s citrusy, woody and has Iso E Super in steroid a la Terre d’Hermes (or even Bvlgari Man). I dont want to judge this reformulation, someone would like it, but it’s a loss for Dior forfeiting its legacy.

Eau Sauvage Extrême Concentrée 1982 vintage edition
It’s one rare pleasure to review an old timer perfume like this one. I have been lucky enough to find this rare gem in one of my supliers and for a sale price. I hope it will last for a few years because I will be really thrifty with its use.
This perfume is somewhat complex, just the way I like it!
Top notes are mainly minty floral citrus (long lasting lavender, bergamot and lemon), together with patchouli, fruity notes and basil;
Middle notes are mainly spicy camphorous resinous woods (rosemary, coriander and sandalwood), together with aldehydes, rosemary, bay leaf, orris root and jasmine;
Base notes are mainly bitter somber woods (oakmoss and cedar), together with amber, patchouli and musk.
Comparing it with the original or with the reissued Eau Sauvage, the “Extrême Concentrée” version opens with a bit less citrus and a bit less fresh. You have a stronger lavender and rosemary notes, and with some sweetness and a hint of patchouli. You may faintly compare it either with “Acqua di Parma Colonia” or Guerlain’s “Eau de Cologne du Coq” style of fragrance, but woodier, stronger and manlier than both.
As the fragrance develops, you notice that the original “Eau Sauvage” herbal scent is there together with the persistent citrus and lavender notes. You can really smell the rosemary and basil together with a mossy and woody strong vibe. The original “Eau Sauvage” DNA is easily recognizable.
At the development end and in the drydown, the global scent more woody and resinous. It does have a slightly better performance than the 1966 “Eau Sauvage” original, and can be assumed as its more masculine perfume concentration flanker.
In summary you do face a woodier and mossier Eau Sauvage. Although I love the original scent, I do prefer this one for being more complex, masculin and performant. The performance is “enough” for this type of scent, beating the original Eau Sauvage from 1966, and clearly defeating the last reformulation that took place in 2012 (I am not sure about this date).
The “Eau Sauvage Extrême” (2010 edition) it’s very good and by current trends can be considered as a more modern version of the “Eau Sauvage Extrême Concentrée”. Of course it appeals to the younger ones, but distinct people do not go clubbing; they simply go to the club, and the age concept does not apply to them. So in my opinion it’s not as glamorous, classy and performant as the vintage version.
The two “Parfum” editions of 2012 and 2017 are outstanding perfumes as well. In my opinion they must be considered as new (and more modern) fragrances and not anylonger flankers of the original “Dior Eau Sauvage, L’Eau de Toilette” 1966 edition.
Dior’s Eau Sauvage Extrême Concentrée is super classy, manly and almost intoxicant. It’s a magnificent pair for an Armani suit, with a Ferragamo silk tie or a Burberry cashmere scarf. Please flirt with your loved one, and toast with two glasses of Veuve Clicquot Reserve. Life is too short not to be fully lived and perfumed with Dior’s Eau Sauvage Extrême Concentrée.
It would be unfair to this gem not to run it through the math ratings:
– Scent opening: 9.5 (lovely citrus/lavender opening spiced by rosemary)
– Scent Dry Down: 10.0 (outstanding fresh ambery woody and mossy drydown)
– Longevity: 8.0 (up to 6~7 hours on my skin, with 3 sprays, above average for this type of scent)
– Sillage: 7.5 (sillage peak up to 4~5 feet; projection for 2 hours)
– Versatility: 9.5 (Just avoid extreme cold weather)
– Usability: 9.0 (very good for the office, daily use, night out, “going to the Club”, events, …)
– Compliments: 8.5 (it will get you many compliments because you smell sexy, elegant and respectable)
– Uniqueness: 9.0 (It shares DNA with other Dior’s “Eau Sauvage”)
– Quality: 10.0 (faultless)
– Presentation: (not considered as my flask is more than 30 years old, although in mint condition)
– Price: 9.0 (€50 for 100 ml non tester, but it has been a special friendly price for me)
– Average: 9.00/10.00
between 7 and 8 => above average;
between 8 and 9 => recommended;
equal or bigger than 9 => don’t miss it;
Opinion on “Eau Sauvage Extrême Concentrée 1982 vintage edition”: For me this is the best Dior Men fragrance.
Blind buy worthy? Yes!
Music: Aznavour’s “Danse in the old fashion way”.

ZERO COOL – :
Compared to the original (reissued) Eau Sauvage, this one opens with less citrus freshness. Instead, you have sweet patchouli and strong lavender, which reminds me of Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme (2012) and Penhaligon’s Sartorial. But all the original herbs are also there. You can really smell the rosemary and basil, and you have your vintage oakmossy feeling, so the original Eau Sauvage DNA is definitely recognizable. In the drydown, ESE turns resinous and woody-fruity, I’m thinking about Terre D’Hermes here. It does have a better performance than the (reissued) original, but a beast mode fragrance it is not — it is just adequate. Scent-wise, it could be a substitute for Eau Sauvage… but since it would be a compromise anyway, you could just as well look elsewhere. It’s not quite the answer to the question that Eau Sauvage’s poor performance presents, and I can’t figure out the question this release would be the definite answer to. But I wouldn’t say that it’s a bad release.

I tried a vintage formula of this… I’m not sure what era exactly, but it was the slimmer taller bottle.
This is one of the most refined, fresh and elegant men’s fragrances I’ve ever tried. It is one of a kind.
Vintage Dior Eau Sauvage Extreme is everything the original Eau Savage is, but amped up! More lavender, a bit darker, denser moss but the beautiful hedione infused citrus character of the original is here!
Lasts all day and projects! I wish i could purchase it (I only found a forgotten tester and the store doesn’t sell it!)
If anyone wants to sell the vintage version of this (or trade) I’m definitely up for it!
Signature worthy! All weather, timeless, refined beauty.
Oleg_Rurik – :
This is a really good all time fragrance almost in the same league as Lauder for Men. A truly classic and mature fragrance with the emphasis being on mature not necessarily being meant for older guys of age but those who have put all their boyish desires and ideals behind them and have moved along into the world of men.

If anyone wants to swap this for something, send me a message!
Blind-bought Extreme online, based on my undying affection for classic Eau Sauvage, and just received the bottle. I find that the two have absolutely nothing in common, and I simply cannot fathom most of the comments below. Extreme for me is inky and harsh and repugnant, where the classic is bright and beguiling.
sir197404 – :
Opens with a blast of citrus, mainly lemon. Settles down as the rosemary comes through, with a lavender backbone. This is a classic manly fragrance that will probably favour the mature man.
sergun988 – :
Based on the note breakdown listed above, I was expecting more of an old school fragrance. Oak-moss? You can definitely forget about that one. Apart from a hint of some dustiness in the initial stage (a note also present in Eau Sauvage Parfum), nothing in this smells dated. My bottle from December 2017 smells minty and very bright citrussy fresh, typical of sport flankers. In fact, apart from the said faint dustiness in the initial stages, it’s very similar to Armani Code Sport Athlete(which often got compared to Dior Homme Cologne). I can’t do a side by side comparison between the two because my Armani bottle is gone, but it’s the exact minty fresh sweetness reminiscent of a mojito. I’m very sure Eau Sauvage Extreme has a some form of Ambroxan in the base, although very subtle in comparison with the Armani. It does last long(some 6-8 hours), but the projection is very subtle and sits close to skin after half an hour, which is what some might prefer. I think the projection should improve during the warmer months. Overall, it smells good and is easy to wear, and I’ll be reaching for my bottle whenever I want to smell like summer.
Sebastian46 – :
This version is the closest to the original. Closer than the Parfum version as well. Its actually the less creamy and less sweet version of the Parfum and that alone makes it closer to the original DNA. The rosemary plays a big role in this one and its good the way it is. I Think all Eau Sauvage flankers are among the better flankers on the otherwise very poor flanker market. Performance is great and the scent is perfectly suited for the rainy and snowy days and nights.

All I get on my skin was some weak rosemary and sandalwood, nothing else! with 6 sprays, emptied the 1ml. sample.
Don’t get me started on the longevity and sillage! :((
with the 6 sprays on skin, it was faint and weak from start, after 30 min, was an extreme close to skin scent.
WEAK!
Unworthy of the Eau de Parfum label.
I guess I’m one of the unlucky ones with this one. Glad I didn’t bought the 100ml and took a free sample first.
The original Eau Sauvage is the king!
GuinuiliTek – :
I used to wear this when it came out. To my taste I found it beguiling in its beauty. I ran across a new bottle the other day and bought it.
I swear if I had smelled it without looking at the bottle, I would not have guessed that this is the same fragrance.
They didn’t just reformulate it, they obliterated it.
And this new crap has ambroxan in it, which I cannot tolerate. God, what a shame.
fil2009fil – :
The more I try it the more I love it. Just a matter of time before I purchase a bottle.
This should have been called Eau Sauvage parfum. It shares the same citrussy DNA with the EDT. Eau Sauvage Extreme seems to be like a pumped up version of the EDT. It’s still very fresh but the longevity is better, which is not very difficult considering the latter is so weak. By the way, I absolutely love Eau Sauvage Parfum but it’s so much different it could have a name of its own. The key word for Eau Sauvage is freshness. So the Extreme one really feels like the big brother.
Also, as much as I like old fashioned perfumes, I don’t feel like the Extreme version develops into that old grandpa aftershave smell like the EDT. It’s a very classy perfume that could appeal to any generation. Love, love, love!
Kryt – :
I bought the 2016 manufactured bottle with magnetic cap. It is difficult to identify the opening of this perfume, very soft not extreme. The dry down which reminds me of Dior Homme, but also very soft not extreme. Longevity is weak and sillage is soft.
I could not agree more what AShoaib said.
I just realized that the perfumer is not Francois Demachy.
The original Eau Sauvage is the best for me.
jbb687speagoessenda – :
It smells like a typical fragrance(talcum powdery touch). Typical people love the smell of this perfume(sadly, this world is full of typical people). Typical people who don’t want anything different, something unique in their life.
Realistically, this fragrance cannot be regarded as something special to spend money on. But what to do, most people like it 🙁
(Again, this is a world of typical people).

Кест – :
finally got a bottle of this, not much different from the original eau sauvage…if the original is citrusy in the opening ..the extreme one is green , rich herbs ( smell wonderful ,too bad gone in minutes)..the drydown is strikingly similar…, i thought extreme was edp, it is just edt intense, longevity 3-4 hours..final score : 8/10 ( still very good juice)
Edit : after a month wear it, my opinion changes..i think it has decent longevity, yes you can’t expect 4+ hours in hot summertime (30 + ..C), but when i wear in cooler condition like office i get 7-8 hours, and it projects really good ,got compliments from my colleagues, men and women. It isn’t as fresh as the original, but more formal / mature version
8.75/10
pasha73 – :
Vintage Eau Sauvage Extreme Concentree is strikingly similar to the original Eau Sauvage however the same herbaceous backbone is dialed up but it still indeed has a lot of citrus. It’s slightly more dirty but still classy as hell, possessing the same old school 1960’s french vibe that the original had, but somehow manages to have some charm from the 1980’s as well.
I could honestly care less but I get A LOT of compliments on this one to my surprise. The first day I wore this 2 people immediately complimented me before I could even reach my work station.
The projection, sillage and lasting power are very much noteworthy as well- it is above average in all regards. I spray one at the base of my neck and one on each side of my neck and I can still feel it with me at the end of a work day until I shower it off, very rare for me.
The 2010 and onward reformulated juice with the magnetic cap is nothing to write home about, and smells nothing like what I have just described…It’s minty, powdery, and modern. The Concentree version smells classic, the few times Dior let me down.
10/10 all across.
tkuznecov – :
This is an eternal love, from the opening to the dry down, is like someone you will always remember with a smile in your face and a pleasant feeling, it brings nice memories and continues gathering more through time.
4ermet – :
The Extreme flanker to Dior Eau Sauvage is, to me, an uninteresting departure from the classic original. Extreme deviates toward a smell of more alcohol, and almost more of a deep aquatic smell as well. It certainly doesn’t seem to be hyped due to the more recent release of Parfum, but I’d argue that it merits less attention that the original, and now that seems to be appropriately what it receives. It doesn’t seem to exceed the original in any respect of its scent. Fresher? Perhaps. More alcohol and strength? Definitely. Wearable? Sure. But a scent worth owning in a world where the original exists? Doubtfully.
Its use of lavender is not as prominent as in the original–Extreme is less of a spicy fougere than a spicy fresh alcohol type of scent. The lavender still brings a freshness with the citrus, but it’s not there nearly enough to keep it interesting. It’s a nice scent but I’m simply blase toward it after sampling the original this morning.
Like the original, Extreme’s performance (an “intense EDT”) leaves something to be desired, though it is arguably slightly more robust in terms of performance. I’m unimpressed, though, especially given the higher price points (citing FragranceNet) of $52 for 50ml and $77 for 100ml. A good scent but it’s not an addition to the original, just an odd departure.

To me this smells like a more refined version of BRUT. That’s not necessarily a bad thing but for someone in there late 20s this stuff does not work for me as it smells a bit dated.
It’s not horrible though and as time goes on does get more pleasant but still nothing is but again.

this works great for warm nights. i love the original, but this actually get me more compliments. The lavender is really prominent, sort of air freshner kind of smell, but the Sauvage citrus dna is continuous. The drydown is more pleasant than the opening. Thats a plus. As any eau sauvage, it leans toward more a mature scent. Im 30 so i rock this just fine.
tritochki_3 – :
In the mid 80’s, you were still able to enjoy such phenomenal fragrances. Dior extreme and YSL Pour Homme both start off with a blast of lemon and lavender giving it a real attractive warm-floral opening. Dior extreme has a very distinct herbal/woodsy/fruity vib from amber/sandalwood, rosemary/bay leaf and finally a obvious fruity aroma.
Both Longivety and Silage are tops…very highly rated.
Thoughts,
I really enjoy Savage but I get it that it’s not as intense as this fragrance is. Not comparing the two, this frag is alive as you wear it throughout the day. A lot of frag’s fade away after several hours, this juice isn’t anywhere that..it lasts beyond 10hrs when I sprayed it on skin 2x. Best word to this juice is SOPHISTICATED. 9.5/10
Mewtv326Unlogrere – :
Comparison is Inevitable
Extreme has a very matured Old Spice Tone, like a back-brushed, wet-gel look, clean shaven man, on a khaki uniform will wear. He is in his mid 30s, undoubtedly handsome, strongly built, both mentally and physically matured. It is for those guys, who love their own company, go out to hike by himself, spend night on a camp, below the starry skies in an African savannah.
It has the citrus backbone of the Original Eau Sauvage, but it more herbal here. Rosemary. basil and lavendar dominate the scent. Most of the notes, listed are very well present. The citruses here are a little more bitter than that of the Original, giving it a more matured feel. Absolutely no similarities with Eau Sauvage Parfum, which is a myrrh bomb.
Nice, but not a love for me.
Sillage: Moderate Strong. Doesn’t projects like the Parfum, but still good
Longevity on my skin: Approx 5 Hours.
Longevity on fabric: Approx 6 Hours
Occasion: Wear it on a Monsoon day. It is really good on a wet day. Quite versatile. You may wear it in different occasions, depending on your mood.
P.S: Eau Sauvage Original still is my most favorite, followed by this one, Extreme. The Parfum has it’s last position.
Rating: 7.5/10
ConstanceF1 – :
If you like the herbal (Rosemary) touch you will like this. There is citrus but I get mostly rosemary and lavender. It lasts on skin a long time and even longer on cotton. It’s a nice everyday wear. It’s not spectacular, but a solid choice with bones. It will gain some attention in an intimate setting.
panasoniczc – :
the 1984 version is (was) a pure masterpiece , the lavender and the oakmoss were brilliant .
It lasted hours and hours mixing a soft freshness and a tender sensuality , it was like a dark velvet .
The version sold now has nothing in common with the 1984 one . Now , it’s synthetic , the lavender is sharp , it”s just a ghost from the past who wants to stay alive …
serg3574 – :
This review is for a 2008 version, different bottle than the one shown here.
A classy masculine scent. I would say this has more in common with it’s young brother eau sauvage parfum than the original eau sauvage. The opening is very similar, I’m guessing the sharp bergamot. It’s almost like the warm weather version, or rather parfum is the sweeter cold weather version. A very clean confidence boasting scent. I can’t wait to wear this with a suit, it just begs for it.
Not sure how the reformulated version is but this lasts 8hrs and projects for pretty much all of them lol no lie.

This is fresh!
Lemon….lemon….lemon and herbs (I could smell mint or something equally sharp in there somewhere at first) then lemon and woody, earthy florals. Then powdery musk and sandalwood. Definitely masculine, strong, spicy green fragrance. I would layer this with sweeter florals (rose in particular) if I were to wear it. Maybe add something fruity, I am getting no fruity notes in my sample at all, no sweetness, apart from the jasmine. A classic methinks.

Actually i didn’t like the concentree version but the latest one (2010 edition)it really rocks !!! A modern and masculine citrus combination. It has already added in my wish list for the near future.
kapl1788 – :
This is a very special perfume. Especially the vintage Eau Sauvage Extreme. Very powerful sillage and a great projection full of lemon and rosemary. Great longevity. An outstanding scent.
KABON2 – :
A modernized version of the classic Eau Sauvage, suitable also to younger people, as it presents sweeter and fruitier top notes with smooth lavender and patchouli mixed in, followed by aromatic-spicy notes (basil, coriander, rosemary) combined with some musty-green aldehydes, mellow jasmine and a creamy sandalwood that lead the way to the longlasting base where it loses some of the fruity-aromatic accord in favour of woody-ambery notes (oakmoss, cedar, patchouli).
On my skin it has a wonderful evolution, similar (to a certain extent and adequate proportions) with Guerlain Homme Intense and Chanel Allure Blanche’s developments.
Great projection/sillage in the first 1-2 hrs. then close to skin, lasting on me up to 6-8 hrs. Overall a solid quality fragrance from Dior at a fair price.
My personal ranking 9/10 ☣☣☣☣. Highly recommended.
kuciy – :
UPDATE: Just tried the brand new falcon (with the magnetic cap) and I feel that this version has been somewhat reformulated. I already have got the old version and comparing this one, seemingly it has been diluted while the citric weight balance has been lowered in favor of some new-injected powdery note.
I felt so disappointed as that lovely classic 60s French spirit has considerably gone away from this masterpiece, while also the longevity has been sensibly impacted.
Sounds like the POWDERY-fashion has dominated the entire Dior citrus platform (maybe even the aromatic and woody empires of Dior as well – Look at the new version of Dior Homme Intense, not to mention the trend of the Fahrenheit Le Parfum to the powder tendency), as the same story went for Dior Homme Sport, on behalf of DHS 2012. It’s a real disappointment to me, as a big fan of Dior citric line.
However, yet it is one cute lovely feat, but I wonder why on earth it had to be reformulated?
Apparently, the recession has mandated the producers to decrease the quality and/or change the formulation, in order to compensate the loss of raw materials price rise. Or is it just a matter of the fashion and modernizing the classics for marketing purposes? 🙁
ромаанн – :
Another classics from times gone by.
Quite heavy on the citrus, and with nice floral undertones with a nice hint of spice and powdery wood.
A very good solid frag, but like many of this era I could see my dad wearing on a regular as for me. I’m not so sure.
Vendigu – :
ES’s lemon is a bit overpowering on my skin so I absolutely love Extreme. I’ve been wearing it during South Africa’s mild winter and it reminds me of the warmth of summer. I am very new to fragrances but to my uneducated nose, this is fantastic. I get complimented every time I wear it. If ES is a little too lemony for you, maybe ESE is just what you need. On the other hand, if you’re a fan of the original Eau Sauvage, chances are you don’t need or want this in your collection.

TOXA9111 – :
I’m by no means an expert – however I know a bad scent, a coarsely produced scent and a fine scent. This may well be different from the original (which I have not smelt), however it’s not fair to say this is a bad smell that resembles a cheap air freshener. This is more refined and elegant than some of the scents that are on the market – whether this is cheaper, hyped or not as good as the original.
DawnIntat – :
I’ve read the discussion on BN about the reformulation of Eau Sauvage Extreme. And… I have a question. Really, I mean does anyone can smell mint in current formulation? To me this is a weird thing!
As I said before – this (reform.)is close to an ideal classic(but not ‘dated!) fragrance to me. I really would like to sniff out the vintage one…
Oh, and one more thing. I haven’t noticed that fact – does it have magnetic cap?
OrangJuice – :
@pronose – if this smells like an air wick(and is near to excellence to my nose btw), I wonder how the old formula smelled like. It must have been a true masterpiece and a real powerhouse fragrance. This one stands out from the crowd by a mile. It’s better than current version of Platinum Egoiste IMO.

@drakecito:
It’s not that I hate Platinum Egoiste. I just think it’s not worth money you have to pay for it anymore. It was, but it’s not anymore. And I think ESE is still a great fragrance. Maybe because I don’t know the previous one.
ES Parfum will be my next purchase. And I’m buying it blind.
BTW, reformulations always suck 🙁
And I still prefer ES Extreme to the original. Original seems to be very weak and watery on me… Extreme projects good and has good longevity.
I’m asking again: Anyone knows who is the nose behind this fragrance?

@drakecito:
I have similar feelings (as you have with ESE) about current version of Chanel’s Platinum Egoiste…
BTW, have you tried the ES Parfum version? It’s quite a new release and I don’t think it could be reformulated so early…

Good for you … Congratulations…
Glad you like it a lot.
To my eyes and to my nose, it’s not. It is quite the opposite.
Kind regards.

@drakecito – I don’t know previous version of Eau Sauvage Extreme. Is it possible it was even better than the current one, which is excellent in my eyes and for my nose?

از رایحه ی مطلوبی بر خوردار نیست و اسعتمال ان بیشتر موجب سر درد می شود تا لذت
بنظر می رسد که خود دیور نیز متوجه نامرغوب بودن این محصول شده و تولید آنرا اداهه نداده است

Tatlılıktan uzak, hatta uzaktan karabiberi andıran ama gerçekten keskin bir turunçgil parfümü. Genç erkekler için biraz sert gelebilir. Ancak çok beğendim. Kalıcılık ve farkedilebilirlik yüksek. Genç kızların beğenisi için çok sert gelecektir. Ayrıca yaz mevsimi, kapalı ve sıcak ortamlarda ölçülü kullanmak gerekli. Tatlılıktan uzak, orta yaş ve üzeri erkekler için özel günlere önerilebilecek bir parfüm. Günlük kullanım için çok uygun değil. Kısaca yine de çok sevdim ve aldığıma hiç pişman değilim.
