Description
Dior launches its new fragrance Sauvage, with the name originating from the fragrance Eau Sauvage from 1966, although the two don’t belong to the same collection. Sauvage is inspired by wild, open spaces; blue sky that covers rocky landscapes, hot under the desert sun.
Dior in-house perfumer, François Demachy, signed this creation. The fragrance is announced as radically fresh, raw and noble at the same time. The composition is reportedly prevalent with carefully selected natural ingredients. Fresh top notes of Calabria bergamot encounter ambroxan, obtained from precious ambergris, and its woody trail.
Dior Sauvage comes out in September 2015, advertised by actor Johnny Depp. It is available as 60 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette. The nose behind this fragrance is Francois Demachy.

Filthy cheap burnt plastic ambroxan/peppery mess that belongs in a bargain basket of a decrepit end of China town supermarket. It is an offence to a bad taste! Vomit inducing chemical emetic crap!
A complete money grabbing disaster
Shame on you Dior
olbos – :
I tested at Sephora and loved it so much that i bought 200ML. Lot has been said on the greatness of the scent, i wont repeat it. My only issue is that this is the only scent i have which i cannot smell on myself after couple of hours of applying. And then it suddenly reappears after 4-5 hours and i start getting whiffs of it. I dont get it why it happens. I have batch code of 6u01.Is anyone facing longivity issues with 2016 batch?
eqd287speagoessenda – :
A very good masculine fragrance for anyone who need attention or outgoing person.
But personally, I don’t like it because it’s too strong to smell it for a long time. At first I’m ok with it but after 2-3 hours, I start to feel unpleasant and annoyed by the smell.
If you like Sauvage but can not stand it or don’t need any attention, try Prada Rossa Carbon or Dylan Blue.
Inaddyaffipsy – :
In all honesty, this fragrance has one of the best openings that I have ever experienced…and then, ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE. It dries down into a synthetic, chemical-laden disaster. As much as I hate to say it, it actually gives me a headache. I was so excited with this one only to be quickly disappointed. I bought it immediately…but the purchase was based completely on the opening. I should’ve waited for the dry down. Unfortunately, I had to return it for a refund.
BEWARE: Get a sample and try it before you actually buy it and wait for it…waaaiiiiit fooooor iiiiit. Then, if you still like it after the dry down…BANG…knock yourself out!!!
DuecegesFum – :
When I smell Sauvage I imagine overgrown, dirty man with wild eyes that came out from the forest. Pure strength.
pzcehgqijm – :
Well…..There are not too many fragrances that I really don’t like. I’m afraid this is one of them. I find this generic, sharp and underwhelming. Not for me.
romarik – :
Pepper and pepper with pepper and a touch of pepper.
Very peppery!
utf884Bessinepome – :
This is the quintessential manly cologne. Its scent is undeniably woody & spicy and it exudes strong masculinity. It’s also somehow familiar and I get the feeling I have smelled this many times before. This familiarity is not because so many people wear Sauvage but because it isn’t original.
That being said, I enjoy this scent on my SO but unfortunately on his skin it does not have longevity.
mugimlmztz – :
If my favorite fragrances could perform only half of sauvage…
In fresh designer fragrances nothing can defeat sauvage when it comes to performance and compliments.
Hate it as much as you want but sauvage is always a winner.
patricknhm1 – :
The two fellow Fragranticans below have brought up an important point about this fragrance, I believe.
I have always been very critical of Sauvage and it’s clones but recently my opinion has changed significantly. I have strongly felt that Sauvage is one of those fragrances that if you smell up-close smell repulsive and like a muddle of notes, but the trail they leave behind and what others smell, which is what matters the most to majority of the wearers, actually smells pretty darn good. I have noticed this many times.
Don’t you guys think it is kinda strange that a lot of wearers find it repulsive but at the same time report the reception of a lot of compliments and say that it gets the job done.
The fact that it is ladies who mostly find it nice is also explained if you smell it from a distance, it smells youthful, modern, and has a vibe that I would characterize as alluring.
RamonGK – :
Exactly how I experience it Astral.
It smells very chemical to me and it reels in women’s compliments.
I had the same with Spicebomb Extreme. To me it smelled like Synthetic Mess Extreme, but women just looove it. I could not handle SE, so I sold it. I find Sauvage EdT bearable and EdP quite nice.
As a comparison: I have worn BdC EdP around thirty times and never got a single compliment. I have worn Sauvage around six times and got five compliments. To my nose BdC smells soooooooo much better than Sauvage.
I do wonder why women perceive these synthetic scents much more differently than men.
abaturovdmitriy – :
I don’t get Sauvage. I blind-bought it because a girl at church smelled Creed Aventus on me and told me she loved it, and that it reminded her of “Johnny Depp’s cologne”.
So I thought, “Safe blind buy…”, searched for “Johnny Depp cologne” and got Sauvage in the results. “Oh boy…it had to be a Dior frag. I’ll probably have to sell a kidney for it.”
I instantly regretted my purchase when I received it. It’s not a nice smell in my opinion. What is it supposed to smell like besides chemicals? My peasant nose doesn’t smell the resemblance to Aventus at all.
Yet, every time I wear it, people compliment it. I can’t describe it, but its overall composition is annoying to my nose. I’m not in love with it.
I’m not bashing it, though. I totally get why lots of people are crazy for it, because it’s interesting and unique. It just doesn’t pump my dopamine. Not its fault!
I only wear it because people like it on me and it gets them in a good mood. I take one for the team! =)
God bless!
uripascal – :
Sauvage…Everyone knows about this one…One of the most recognized fragrances of the current day.
Why is that? You may ask. With its synthetic and overpowering smell. Its forward pepperiness mixed with fresh citrus. Its aggressive ambroxan. It just works is why.
We all can make up a reason to love or hate this fragrance, but at the end of the day, it still works. For what it does, it does it well.
It lasts for ages, projects like a monster, and leaves a memorable sillage trail(due to its popularity).
I do not normally choose this one unless I am in the mood to get compliments. This one does that.
Love it or hate it. This one is going to be around for a while.
Regardless if you love it or hate it…I don’t think anyone can deny that this fragrance has a beastly atomizer.
mariupol – :
Smells like air freshener – pass, i really dislike this scent. And i do agree that women like it.
zver_sml – :
No1-everybody puts perfume on his/her body to capture the attention of the others.this is the real truth.even if you love yourself and you want to smell a good scent on you skin is not enough.Everybody if buys a parfume wants the attention of people around.No2-this is not a perfume for the person(male)that uses it.I just started to use it 3-4days ago.is a perfume for the others THE WOMEN.MEN HATE IT.I don’t like it the way it smells.BUT WOMEN AROUND ME ARE GETTING CRAZY.No3-real life experience in 3-4Days wearing sauvage=MEN in London bus when I sit close they exchange the sit far away from me.WOMEN started to become active curiouse around nervous excited and they want to stay close to You.Why?because U smell like a fresh laundry+gasoline
Alexeyi4 – :
I Don’t like this because is so annoying at the opening , but god people people give me complements after 8 hours of hard work
I wish most perfume perform like Dior sauvage
yripol – :
Sauvage is a different scent from the others. It is no coincidence that if you wear it, you go down the street and you hear from friends and friends: “Can I sit next to you?” Be careful because there are those who say it is suitable for the hot seasons but it is not so because is a hot spicy rather than fresh and can become annoying for some. I am reminded of a nineteenth-century port with ships docked. Feast in a tavern in the name of a warm hearth. A color for this perfume: Indigo. A state of mind: Indifferent. An artist: The famous Van Gogh
anchous4624 – :
Only gets hate from snobs. Of course it’s subjective, but I’d say at least 80% of ladies like if not love it. Get a bottle before it gets reformulated. In 20 years you can sell it for 4x of your original investment. It’ll be in the realm of OG Aventus and YSLs.
Berdnikov – :
Great fragrance, BUT, a few people have also mentioned this, and I have to agree.
Savauge is a more synthetic, not as interesting version of Bvlgari Aqua Amara. They have a very similar base, but Amara has this amazing bitter mandarin and sea salt note. Identical performance.
IMO, save $90 and buy the superior Aqua Amara.
rfhbrfk – :
I tried so hard to like this fragrance, but it was not made for me… to “dry” for my taste there’s nothing amazing in it for the price and for being a Dior fragrance imho, just another simple and plain fragrance in a Dior packaging. Maybe the spicy notes are the key for my dislike. Such a pity, i will stay with my Dior Dune for men fragrance.
FDSservice – :
Smells better 2-3’ away.
It’s for those around you. Not for the wearer.
сергей 1 – :
It is a fact! The trend of cheap, synthetic, uninspired, and soul-less “fragrances” is here, before our very eyes, and noses! Laundry detergent smells in generic bottles, bearing big names.
Chanel’s Blue and Gabrielle, and now, Dior’s Sauvage and Joy by Dior.
Run to higher ground before you get brainwashed by the industry, or are you already?
sergei.com – :
This is a harsh smelling fragrance with dry down of deodorant spray I used to wear during high school. This doesn’t smell natural. It hurts my nose. I think some people have been smelling too much fragrances, their smelling sense became numb. Therefore they like fragrance with overly strong smells like Sauvage or dare I say, Aventus.
To each his own.
inhimegymnbic – :
Its actually annoying me that I get so many compliments with this fragrance…
Not one of my personal favorites but the mass appeal is real.
svetun – :
my advice would be: just buy a deo spray. no need for edt.
it´s cheaper, works wonder and goes with anything. the best combo is sauvage deo + eau sauvage edt.
Deroxfjevr – :
I understand some people are anosmic to the ambroxan in Sauvage. I’m not.
I was expecting this to be a knockout for me because everything else I’ve smelled by Dior I feel in love with at first sniff. But no. I couldn’t stand it.
I won’t knock it though. This stuff has incredible projection, sillage and longevity for an EDT.
My only problem is the scent itself. On me.
If Sauvage works for you, go for it. Wear what you love, not what others tell you you should like.
I guess there’s a sense in which this is a lot like Coriander or Cilantro, Axe or Lynx. You either love it or you hate it.
I have no doubt this will smell good on somebody else but it’s definitely not for me.
marco – :
When I saw comparison between Versace Dylan Blue and Dior Sauvage,I thought that I would not like Sauvage because of its similarities to Dylan Blue,but it is completely different from Dylan Blue and much better than Dylan Blue,it is really versatile,I really like the fruity amber kinda smell of it.
brajan – :
This is an all rounder. This is definitely better than the EDP. And this lasts longer than EDP for summer.
At first sniff, I knew this is the scent for everyone. It has the power to last and the scent is having the power of the man. Citrus, Pepper with Amber is too nice. Good for summer days. I am in Sri Lanka.. This is much better for the tropical weather.. but not in the beach side. Not good for too hot environments as this has a dry smell. The commercial of this says it all. I never liked harsh and synthetic smelling fragrances. But this one is a gem within that category. I am spraying on my clothes. Because it does not develop on my skin. It stays the same. Only sprays 2 times and done. Do not over spray this more than 4 times. Suitable for men who is older than 21+
Scent – 9/10 ()
Versatility – 10/10
Longevity – 10/10
Overall 9.5/10
I would give 10 if they add more moisture like vibe to the scent, I mean not too smoky, but not aquatic.
yaroslavw15 – :
As an avid collector and cologne enthusiast, I couldn’t put my finger on where I had smelled this before…until today. Escada Sentiment for men. Add a ton more pepper and ambrox to Sentiment, dial back the pineapple a smidge with Sentiment, and there you have it! I sprayed Sauvage on my right, Sentiment on my left…VERY little difference…Escada was well ahead of its time…now to go wash this crap off
ogyrin – :
If you’re looking for something that’s an easy blind reach, doesn’t cost a fortune, and gets you noticed, this is wonderful. It’s greatest fault is it’s success as you will more than likely smell like people around you.
If you need a numeric rating: 8/10
ivan.alo – :
first time si smell it i liked it very much, i was thinking maybe to buy it
once i wear it from a tester, it was very good the first 1 hour half, and then a sickly smell for the other hours, nauseating because it was still strong and also present after washing me.
from there i cannot stand sauvage, i find it too strong, raw awkward and too heavy.
max4743 – :
Initially fresh, inoffensive, interesting, and clean. Performance is incredible, but perhaps too much. After the dry down it transforms on my skin to a more smooth scent, and then once again transforms to a more synthetic scent… Yes, on my skin it eventually becomes harsher.
This seems to be an occasional observation, and I’m wondering if this harshness happens to specific skin types, or if it is just a perception of the last notes.
drealoplayday – :
Irony is when everyone hates the most popular kid in school. There’s a colossal reputation here of being unnatural and generic, buuuuut if you can make it over contrarian hill there is virtue to be explored.
The “essence” of this scent IS generic (i.e. fresh-peppery-sweet-musk), it can be found on every other shelf at your local department store. However, the “actuality” of this scent is not generic. The particulars of this fragrance are unique to Sauvage and are quite characterful when compared to the similar scents.
Going down the rabbit hole it’s easy to forget that the primary goal of fragrance is to smell good. It’s okay to hate this fragrance because you hate the cultural zeitgeist, it’s okay to hate it because you don’t like the smell, but often it feels like low hanging fruit for people to sound smarter than they are.
GraFin2011 – :
good scent but not first 30 minutes. Opening smells like metallic and synthetic but it’s being good with time.
Bom4ik – :
I liked this but i ended up with headaches so had to pass it on. Likely a common scent now
FyzzyWyzzy – :
I really love the ambrox pepper bergamot opening. I know that it lacks a little character, it is mass appealing, but that is what it is. If you are coming at this looking for a niche piece you will be disappointed. If you like art films and go see the latest blockbuster you are not going to think the film is good, but it is not made for you. It is for the masses, or the dumb reach. I like it, but I like designer dumb reaches. I have never smelled another man wearing this in my life, so in a rural area its commonality is not a problem. Its marketing campaign is a bit nauseating, I will grant you that. Also, it causes the biggest anosmia that I have ever experienced. I could not smell it out of the bottle by day two. People could smell me when I asked though, otherwise I was going to send the bottle back. Bought straight retail, so no gray market fake or anything. 2018 batch.
plainenex – :
Its good, but I rather go with Versaces Dylan Blue or Pradas’ Luna Rossa Carbon after testing.
kpluvkzd – :
Not outstanding scent but still a nice one. It opens up vastly peppery and fresh. In dry-down it is slightly floral & aromatic but still retains the pepper in background mixed with ambroxide. In my humble opinion it is masculine & fresh spicy & sharp smell. Very good performance 10 hrs+ also highly versatile, all-rounder.
krasnyi_86 – :
Just curious. Do the “haters” of Dior Sauvage (of which there seem suspiciously many on this post) truly think they are going to “actually change” ANY of the following FACTS with their rants against or about this fragrance?:
1. People like what they like. Most love Sauvage—its scent, notes and all. (ie. ranting against the “smell” of Sauvage, currently the best-selling men’s cologne in the world and on pace to be the best of all-time, is effectively akin to ranting against the taste of hamburgers in the U.S.) —Good luck with that! Just don’t waste too much time being childish!
2. The “designer” fragrance industry is all about the MONEY (Sales). They design and market what will sell to the MOST consumers possible–Yes, like it or not–to the “mainstream”. Don’t like that idea? Buy Niche. Don’t like that idea? Quit buying cologne? Don’t want to do that? Then be a “big boy” and stop the ranting.
3. “Innovative” creativity (being more time-intensive, costly and risky) is extremely hard to come by within the design houses– because again, MONEY talks. So it’s usually only the “easy-money” creativity we see in the way of flankers, parfum versions of original edts, clones, reformulations–and yes, original releases. (This situation has existed from about the turn of this past century; and seemingly the new “normal” since then in designer fragrances). What are you going to do about it? Rant?!…or grow up?
4. Sauvage’s exceptional performance means one application is all that is required for the entire day, rather than two as is the norm for most colognes today; effectively cutting the “true cost” of wearing Sauvage in HALF!
(I guess you’ll need to start posting rants about your 4-5 hr. colognes, and how “scandalously expensive” they are!).
5. Every guy appreciates compliments, especially from women:
Voila!….Dior Sauvage.
(Wonder WHY women love it too? You need “help”! See Fact #1)
So while ignorance, wishes and hate may together deem Sauvage an unimpressive fragrance or worse, REALITY says that Dior Sauvage is nothing short of a game-winning grand slam in the World Series of men’s cologne!! 10/10 overall: for scent, seasonal versatility, apparel versatility (wearability), performance, compliments and its “performance-based” value.
bickcoorI – :
I got a sample of this off eBay because I see it a lot on Jeremy Fragrance’s YouTube channel. It has a masculine strong smell. It is very clean and crisp. Overall thought it is kind of generic good smelling fragrance. Also my wife doesn’t care for it.
They review below me sums its up really well.
opn09 – :
“What am I looking for?” asks a tired-looking Johnny Depp, his eyes on the shallow grave he just dug. The scene is intercut with footage of a confused stunt driver pointlessly going around in circles (Dior taking the piss out of NASCAR?).
So what did Dior tell you to bury in that grave, Johnny? And since we’re on it, you didn’t happen to find a bottle of Bleu de Chanel while digging, did you? Or Luna Rossa Carbon? Montblanc Legend? A&F Fierce? Any of the other dozen fragrances that Sauvage “took inspiration” from? But let’s be real: I don’t need to tell you that Sauvage is derivative – after all, that’s what the D in “DIOR” stands for these days. Generic products and massive marketing are the keys to mainstream success.
I’m not here to beat down people who enjoy Sauvage. You like what you like. My gripe is with Dior – which brings me to the whole Ambroxan shtick. Not the actual smell, mind you, but the fanfare they make of it. People talk about it being “controversial”. You do realise that woody ambers like ambroxan have been used in virtually every mainstream masculine for the last 25 years, right? Hell, even ambroxan itself has been used in dozens of popular fragrances (e.g. D&G Light Blue pour Homme), and nobody ever gave a shit about it being there. It’s as if movie posters started proudly promoting the name and face of Boring Bob, the guy who held up the boom mic while the actors were doing their scenes, and now everybody’s talking about what a profound impact he had on the product.
Is this the next big thing in fragrance marketing? Trying to sell something as innovative and exclusive when literally everyone else has been doing it for the last three decades? How goddamn stupid do you think we are, Dior?
Seriously, I’m done with this industry. Grab that shovel, Johnny, and close it up. Bury Sauvage with the rest of the bottom-feeders.
raincitterpal – :
100% MOTH REPELLENT! The ingredient list is missing granny’s semi-translucent mothballs and those horrible urinal cubes during the 80ies.
ABSOLUTELY ABHORRENT!
Should only be sold in big farming supplies warehouses and come with a chemical warning.
Possibly my most hated fragrance of all time!
(and I am a huge Christian Dior fan).
viktor776 – :
Want to smell same as your whole neighborhood? Pick this… Safe, pleasing everybody, but lack of character, and make you smell like the rest of the world..
777dezert777 – :
There’s a little bit of a hate wagon behind this and I feel lots of people jump on it. You have to respect their opinion as this is a very known fragrance now. But I don’t think this takes anything away from the fact that the smell is amazing! I get compliments wearing it and the Mrs loves it. Very pleasing dry-down. The opening can be quite harsh and peppery but it settles well. I do feel that I don’t smell this one as often anymore due to its popularity (lol the irony) but the downside is that if someone who knows a tiny bit about fragrances will know what it is straight away when they smell it. You will smell nice, you will feel good wearing it but you won’t be smelling unique.
nbj904speagoessenda – :
I really don’t get the hate and also the love about this fragrance. I like the opening a lot and I wish that it stayed like that a lot longer. Then it is just ok. I bought it because i read here that it performs like a beast but on me it performs just ok. I burn fragrances quickly (and no, my skin is not dry). Would I buy it again? Mmm maaybe, I don’t really know for that price… Never got a single compliment on it and I live in a country where noone knows it. My girlfriend also doesn’t like it a lot and I even think that she says that she likes it only because of me.
Votsya – :
Personally I don’t like it as I find the Ambroxan note overpowering and obnoxious, but reading the polarizing reviews, I suspect that’s what makes it such a great fragrance to those that love it. That note must be perceived differently by different people.
I certainly don’t see it as just Shower Gel or deodorant, it’s got way more going on than that, but that Ambroxan heavy, peppery drydown is very ubiquitous right now in the same way that Oakmoss was in the 80’s. Sure other fragrances are similar, but this one’s Nuclear, so I guess if you love this genre, Sauvage is the King!
I see this fragrance as very loud. It’s the Kouros/Quorum/Paco Rabanne PH of today!
enaclenue – :
This is a good antiperspirant. Think ‘Right Guard’.
evgen_r772mr – :
This is a great scent. I just love wearing it and smelling it. It can be heavy if you over spray but 1-2 sprays is perfect and totally complimentary. It is a good everyday scent and people love smelling it on me. I get compliments all the time.
DOZ – :
whatever…its a killer scent! Women love it and it can last long for most. Its been copied by others and its never discounted much so its a winner. Snobs need not apply.
MrRock – :
What’s happened to Dior. First they discontinued Fahrenheit absolute then they killed Eau Sauvage Parfum with the reformulation and then they went mad with their marketing for the generic overused and overrated Sauvage. Is this the Great Dior we used to know and love? Obviously they don’t care about good perfumes anymore… all their concern is to release generic stuff to match the taste of the new generation and generate crazy amount of money ignoring how uninspired their releases are. Francois Demachy is a great perfumer but what was he thinking when he made those decisions
1234Zver – :
I wish people would stop over spraying this horrid fragrance. It is nauseating and extremely unpleasant. To me, this scent went from like to extreme dislike.

I could go on for days about this fragrance but would rather keep it simply..IT’S MAGIC in this juice.It’s something about it that grabs a persons attention if you walk pass them wearing it!

Fraule – :
Smells like Ariel pods 3in1 detergent indeed, it has more depth and complex notes/accords obiously but the resemblance is remarkable. May be they share the ambroxan or cedar notes in their fragrance composition?
I like the sillage… if a guy wears this, everything he touches ends up smelling like Sauvage.
serge72 – :
Dior Sauvage smell cheap and generic.I am not a snob but I do not think needed a big house like Dior to have. I respect who this perfume likes,I’m sorry,but this smells like a laundry detergent.
2/10
imperial – :
A fresh opening with a zest of bergamot which will stay around 15 up to 30 minutes. The drydown is peppery and ambroxan combo.
Honestly, I don’t like to smell it on me, maybe because of the ambroxan. But people around me feels different.
-Fresh Scent
-Compliment getter.
-Best for hot weather
olenikammm – :
Best used as pepper spray for law enforcement. Terrible.

Beast mode performance…
Good for most occasions, don’t recommend it for any formal events.
Can be polarizing as mentioned in several previous reviews…yes its a love/hate relationship.
Overall I think this is a must have.
I have to edit my post…..I decided to try this fragrance during a formal event and got complemented several times throughout the night.
I stand corrected on this one, just don’t over spray and you’ll be fine.
Well done Sauvage
fasav9272 – :
Those who have spent any time researching this fragrance know that it’s widely polarizing. It engenders a love/hate relationship with devoted followers and devoted detractors. I had a divided reaction to it at first myself. I was walking through a department store when a clerk nearly spritzed it in my face. I sniffed it on a card and wandered on unimpressed. A few months later, with the fragrance so ubiquitous, I tried some on my skin, only to smell almost nothing at all. About a year later, I tried it again and was taken, so I bought a 50ml bottle, only to find that on some days I could smell it and some days not.
This scent is almost completely synthetic in the opening. There’s nothing in the “real world” I can relate it to. Instead, it has a “texture,” a soft effervescence that sooths and comforts and permeates a subtle bubble around the wearer. The opening is very synthetic, which is why I think I could hardly smell it at all—my brain had no referent for it until it “learned” to smell it. The far dry-down is a different story, with mild peppers lingering on for hours and hours.
Obviously, a lot of people appreciate Dior Sauvage. It’s a runaway best seller, and I’ve gotten a number of compliments while wearing it. It performs well with a strong silage if over sprayed and a 12 hour longevity. Go carefully with the sprayer.
If you want a scent with the same “texture,” the same feeling, but with a different scent profile, seek out Masion Francis Kurkdjian’s Pluriel. It took me about 30 minutes wearing Pluriel before I put my finger on what it reminded me of, the characteristics of Dior Sauvage. I’m tempted to say, “If you liked Sauvage, you’ll love Pluriel.”
xru844InsuffBooni – :
It’s a very strong fragrance; the spicy notes really come out on my skin. It lasted from 10:30 AM to 10 PM yesterday and the sillage was great. The dry down was more pleasant than the opening and heart. I’m not crazy about the scent but I will finish my sample.
Nuabbefavemia – :
@bal026 The EdT projects louder and is a bit more sparkly and in your face. The EdP is a bit more tamed, a little sweeter and has slightly better longevity.
However, they are VERY similar and you need to have a great nose to be able to tell them apart when they are in the air.
Vit49 – :
Hey People, I have a doubt regarding to the comparison of the EDT and EDP for this perfume… Does it have almost the same performance both options? Actually I feel EDT has a better qualification.
bella33rus – :
Sauvage smells like gillette shaving cream or something similar, it is very synthetic, generic, and overpriced.
patriot3 – :
The opening smells great, but the dry down is synthetically awful.
Speeker – :
This smells like every other douchebag bouncer lol. I’m not a fragrance snob, I actually enjoy more designer than niche, and Dior is my favourite designer house, but this is just awful, makes me puke. This makes Bleu de Chanel look classy lol
vaiteri – :
people need to understand that this scent is good for a few reasons
1) It lasts and Projects for 8hrs+ easily (EDP anyways, i hear EDT is similar)
2) You can wear it at almost any situation (except something very formal)it can be dressed down and dressed up (not a lot of dress up appeal but it depends on your opinion of “dressed up”
3) Many Women find it appealing/attractive
4) Any Man of Any Age can wear this and make it work for them
5) it can be worn any time of year(EDP i would suggest better for Winter but you could try EDT)
Is it a “bad” smell? no, if it were then it wouldn’t be so popular. Could you be a snob and say it’s generic / synthetic? Yeah you can, you are free to be you but we can’t say that those 5 things I listed aren’t true and that’s why it’s a good scent; it’s a scent any man can wear during any Season (or close to).
april1783 – :
I prefer Bvlgari Atlantique over tbis . Bvlgari not as agressive as this one
fyl133Negeltzex – :
I actually enjoyed this a few years ago when it first came out and have owned my bottle from the word go but Iv since grown really tired of it. Probably smelling it everywhere I go has something todo with. It’s a shame cause I more or less only wear it now as a work scent when I can’t be bothered picking out something I really enjoy. One thing I have always said about it is I really don’t care for the metallic dry down and when I once did enjoy the opening, I now find that just boring. I don’t get the “clean” vibe people talk about unless the synthetic showergel “clean” is what they are getting at in which I case I agree. As a whole I think there’s a lot better scents out there for the price in Dior’s line up alone, not to mention all the other highstreet brands.
Машенька – :
I’ve received this as a sample, and my first impression that is the very generic, synthetic, cheap frag for 20 bucks. I’d actually smelled very similar during when I was a student, during university times – very synthetic, cheap, and loud. Boom, goes straight into the trash bin.

I have owned this fragrance since release and thoroughly enjoyed it up until recently. Lately I find this fragrance annoying and loud to the point I simply seldom wear it. Please stop overspraying this fragrance, especially if you’re indoors!

Sauvage = Smells nice, but will get played out extremely fast.
Sauvage = User must go easy on the trigger, or the smell will becoming sickening, and likely cause a medical emergency of sorts. :-p
Sauvage = Is only suitable for cool or cold weather wear; Warm or hot weather warm will make the scent extremely sickening and unbearable for most people.
Sauvage = Excellent cologne for clubbing due to it’s extreme performance factor. Excellent cologne for all the young studs. lol

Apparently, everyone is using this right now, I smell it everywhere I go. Had a sample size, but it gave me a headache, so I got rid of it.

Finally picked up a sample to see what the hype is about…don’t get it. With the peppery lingering smell, just reminds me of someone who didn’t put on deodorant. I can’t believe LR Carbon is considered inspired by this, it’s 1 million times better and more pleasant smelling.
For me, this one sucks
