More about Dior Sauvage
Sauvage by Dior is a 2015 men's fragrance created by François Demachy as a tribute to nature's untamed beauty, a scent both raw and noble. It opens with the bright, sunlit sparkle of Calabrian bergamot and pepper in its top notes. The heart notes gather elemi, geranium, lavender, patchouli, pink pepper, Sichuan pepper and vetiver, and the base notes of Ambroxan, cedar and labdanum add mineral warmth and a rugged woody trail. Bold yet refined, it carries the spirit of freedom with an edge of sophistication, and it feels like standing alone beneath a vast desert sky where heat shimmers on stone and the air tastes of adventure. Dior Sauvage leads in spring and summer among wearers, and daytime is its main hour, with evenings next. That makes it an easy choice for a man who wants a fresh, spicy, woody scent for warm days.
