Sauvage Eau de Parfum Dior for men

Can't wait till mine will arrive 🤩

The only wearable one of the line(Elixir,Edt,Parfum descending wearablitiy). Opens sweet and spicy. The star anise and lavender keep it interesting for a bit, then comes the near napalm ambroxan that seers the air. Good performance and everyday scent.

Absolutely love this fragrance and will buy another bottle when my EDP runs out. If I am not wearing it, I'm giving the atomizer a sniff. I love the smell of bergamot and pepper on this one. I still need to smell the EDT and Parfum versions though.

This is the fragrance you buy when you're not a fragrance guy but want that ONE fragrance you can reach for, for any time you might want to wear some cologne. Fragheads are basically immune to this fragrance and all blue fragrances really. But in the real world around the other 99% of people who can't name more than 3 fragrances, this is the best stuff on earth.

A friend lent me a bottle of this for a few days. Definitely would consider getting this if I saw a good deal, I can see why it's so popular

Batch:3C06.

Bought blindly based on reviews and first impressions are disappointing. Its not a loud fragrance in the opening but when it settles, all i can smell is CDNIM, which i already have.

I resisted buying this mass fragrance and in hindsight i should have listened to my gut but i was swayed buy a combination of a price reduction and favourable reviews.

I'm looking for a summer fragrance that is close to H24 in scent profile, but has a better performance so if anyone has suggestions, please feel free to share.

better than elixer

Fresh and spicy. The performance is insane. Lasts 12+ hours on the skin, even longer on clothes, and has good projection. However, there are two downsides. The price can be insane, certain places tried charging almost $200 for 100ml. The other is the stigma around Dior Sauvage. When people ask me what I'm wearing, they seem to get put off by the fact it's Dior Sauvage. At this point, I've started to lie and say I'm wearing Prada Carbon.

It never fails me. I love it

I applied 1 spray at 7:00 in the morning. At 8:00 in the morning the day after my wife asked me if i sprayed my fragrance.

Very long lasting and very mass appealing.
Although it gets a lot of hate for its popularity and being a designer fragrance, it's still great.

And honestly most people don't even apply fragrances at all, so it being overly used is just an internet thing that you don't need to care about.

Easily an office fragrance that will make you smell the best in the office (unless some madmen decide to wear Roja or something to work)

This is one of my most complimented fragrances, a 9.5 for me but it's too popular I feel like everyone I know is smelling the same as me but it's pure satisfaction 8hr longitivity and a solid 3 hours of projection, It's a nice sent for every single situation I recommend if you want to blend in with everyone

Smells really nice, but popular. Causes headaches though. I have a 30ml that I was using daily for 3 months, and I couldn't figure out why I was getting headaches until I realized it was the Sauvage.
Now a couple of months later, I applied this again, and what do you know, headache.

Lasts long, has a nice soft spicy accord, the star anise comes through nicely. I don't get the vanilla that much, but I feel it holds everything together. You definitely get the peppery lavender and ambroxan through the drydown. Toned down compared to the EDT for sure.

An exquisite use of nutmeg, star anise and vanilla layered over that Sauvage DNA. Just a gorgeous scent profile! My most complimented fragrance by far! 10/10 for me!

I would never consider this a blue fragance!!! WHO STARTED THAT NONSENSE!? This is definitely a ''black'' scent...
Just take a look at all of the ads for this stuff... what color clothes are they wearing? BLACK!!!
''Blue fragrances'' make me think of something aquatic or airy, this is spicy as hell... NOTHING BLUE ABOUT IT!!!
I love matching my scents with my color and nothing about Sauvage screams blue!

Ahhh I love Sauvage EdP. My favorite to put on after a shower in the evening. The opening is beautiful: fresh, clean with a soft, spicy, and vanillic finish. I often get whiffs of Sauvage EdP the morning after I wear it in the gym. This can so easily be worn all year round, night or day, formal, casual, and everything in between. A 9.5/10 for me. The only thing precluding this being a 10 is that it sometimes can give off a slightly harsh smell towards the middle/drydown. However, many fragrances I enjoy can smell just a bit “off” to me sometimes.

The best blue fragrance. Most popular for a reason. I love it a lot

I don’t care if people say it’s an npc fragrance, it gets hella compliments mostly in colder weather.

20 parfümüm var ama anlayamadığım tek koku çok denedim bütün flankerlerini edt edp elixir ama hiç birini beğenmedim karabiber gibi kokuyordu fakat bazı insanların üzerinde inanılmaz güzel koktuğunu farkettim sorduğumda savage olduğunu duyduğumda hep çok şaşırdım, sanki yıldız tozunun pırıltısı gibi inanılmaz kokuyor ama sadece bazı insanlarda. Kesinlikle değişken bir koku.

I like sauvage edp. Top notes are bergamot, 2-4 hrs. fresh, middle notes are lavender and Sichuan pepper, musky 4-6 are the best notes, amboxan, vanilla, 6+ hrs.

During my university years in the 2010s, Dior Sauvage became my signature scent, marking countless memories of youthful exuberance. As I navigated the world of fragrances, Sauvage stood out as a confidence booster, thanks to its iconic ambroxan-laden aroma. This fragrance not only put ambroxan on the map, it became inseparable from its distinctive scent.

While it may no longer be my personal choice, its enduring popularity among younger generations is undeniable and I hope it continues to serve them well. The Eau de Parfum concentration stands out to me as the most versatile option.

However, as a modern classic fragrance, it's become somewhat overdone, and if you're seeking to stand out nowadays, I encourage you to explore the many other options in the fragrance world.

Received a sample from Dior with an online order I made, one of those miniature scaled down bottles.
Decided to wear it to work yesterday, received a compliment from a customer, and it lasted 12 hours easily.
Smells fresher than the EDT to me.

I’ve heard a lot about Sauvage but I never got around to actually smelling it until now. I think it’s definitely overhyped because I was expecting something more unique and fresh, but my idea of fresh is something more along the lines of Azzaro Wanted or Acqua di Gio. That being said, to me it smells like a mix of Versace Dylan Blue and Armaf Ventana. The bergamot is very prominent and the opening is very strong and headache indulging if oversprayed. The dry down is better and it has moderate sillage, as well as longevity. I think for the price you’re better off with Dylan Blue. Overall the scent is a solid 7. Not my favorite and there’s definitely better fragracnces for less, but it’s a solid choice if you’re new to fragrances.

Great fragrance. Really nice spicy scent. Very versatile. Nice and subtle compared to edt and elixir. Unharsh on the nose. Dries down to vanilla and a little spice. Good projection.

This smells CLEAN. I mean like the best shower gel ever.

And I love smelling clean. Get yourself a bottle of this, ladies love it.

I am not sure what my nose is made out of, but I just cant stand the smell of this. I sprayed one spray in a room, and I could not go into that room for the next hours, I wish I was joking. It has great longevity and projection, but that smell.. Way too synthetic, the spice/citrus notes just blow up in your face and NO NO NO.

Dude below me docent understand the amazing juice Dior released!

That dude below me needs to get off this site with those ChatGPT reviews

I love fragrance, it's the best!Nice fresh bergamot with lavender super aromatic...nice, nice...it's better line...very strong

So I finally got a decant to try out the hype and... It's a bloody synthetic mess! It just smells like a mass store shower gel. Glad I didn't buy into the hype. There are way better Dior frags than this simpleton.

I find it harsher than the EDT. The EDT is fresh metallic, this is rusty metal.

A sweeter take on the EDT with the addition of vanilla and less ambroxan.Its very fresh and versatile but sadly to me at least it has very bad performance and noone can smell it after a couple hours.I still like it a lot tho.

It was my signature scent for 2 years when I didn't know much about perfumes. Yes, it is a nice scent, but one in every two people uses this perfume. It has become very common. If you do not want to smell like everyone else, I do not recommend using this perfume. There is only 30 ml left in my bottle and I will not buy it again. I recommend Dior Sauvage Elixir instead.

Theres nothing much to say about this fragrance to be honest. Its a Fresh, spicy, critrusy with noticable lavender and amber notes that stand out in the dry down. Great for any occasion all year round, even for everyday use. Unfortunately, I would never recommend this fragrance since its extremely common for people that uses fragrances, and you dont want to smell like your crush's Ex, /10.

Opens up with a strong bergamot and pepper smell. Quite synthetic but settles down to a solid pepper and lavender with a hint of nutmeg. Dries down to the nice ambroxan that Sauvage is so known for and it stays nicely balanced throughout.

I hate lavender but man does Sauvage EDP do it good. The ambroxan carries the rest of the notes honestly its amazing and a total compliment magnet. Insanely mass appealing with an amazing atomizer. Very worth but it is a pretty penny.

True story. me and my brother got pressured into buying this by the store clerk. At first I didn't like it. but over time I grew accustomed to it. i liked it. it liked me so we started getting intimate. Whatever am i right its 2023. so what. couple months go by then it started... It began to yell at me tell me I'm nothing tell me i wasn't good enough... it got violent throwing me against walls "daddy no I'm sorry" I said. I wasn't even allowed to look at other fragrances. one night Dior Sauvage Perfum was rougher than usual. "your just the worse version Eu De toilette Dior Sauvage" i cried that night i barely escaped i showed up to the only friend i knew. 1 Million by paco rabbane. its sweet scent invited me in tickling by ball hair that night i applied it on. I know. what was i thinking in all this chaos. but it was just so warm and i didnt even mind it didnt have much longevity.
Thats when Dior found out. "bitch are you cheating on me" he busted in, squirting all over 1 Million paco rabbane. "dont, your gonna hurt him" i screamed but Diors atomiser was to strong. he disassembled 1 Million and i ran away leaving everthing behind. for a couple months i shifted from town to town having no fragrance i began to stink out entire saloons of country men. they would yell "Bitch you stink. find yourself a fragrance" before kicking me down the stairs... until a miracle happened. I was pregnant! but whos was it! i instantly went back to my home town and rung dior. he apologised and made up and promised that he wasn't going to be skibbidi anymore if the baby was his. i called 1 million and he seemed over the moon telling him that he cant wait for a little 50ML 1 million. soon i was at the hospital bed with 1 Million Paco Rabbane at one side, Dior sauvage Parfum on the other. they both held either hand. both fragrances seemed to have respect for one another now maybe a even a sense of friendship and acceptance to the situation they had now formed a bond. sweet like 1 million, strong like Sauvage. then out popped it... Dior screamed, 1 million weaped. out came Jean paul Gaultier Le Male Le Parfum EDP Intense. "oops" i said.

Yeh overall 8/10 its good but i prefer the EDT more its fresher as well. i don't think my skin mixes well with the scent. pretty safe blind buy if you are looking for something that's strong, versatile and safe.

Starts off with a hint of shower gel, kind of similar to Dylan Blue. Then the Sichuan pepper absolutely takes over and you're left with a pleasant spice-ambroxan mix. Lasts a while on my skin, will be a dumb reach scent for me for sure, nothing groundbreaking here though. I prefer the elixir to this one, but haven't tried the EDT or Parfum versions before

i like this one alot..bought a very large bottle.. didnt care for the edt...i have 2 large bottles of elixer I LOVE...

Dior Sauvage EDP better than EDT. Long lasting, and masculine.

this is a masculine nice, musky cologne sooooooooooooooooo good and super nice and great longevity and progection

The only Sauavage that smells inoffensive.
Very likable.
Longevity: 4.5/5
Smell: 4.5/5
Price: 1/5
Ingredient-warning: Warning. Contains BHT!

Overall very good. If you can afford it - buy it.

The best in the line improves on the nuclear scent of the edt and softens it which I like more

good

The ”Sauvage” branding is getting hated on just because it’s hyped up. I think its a nice smelling fragrance, better than the EDT!
Layer sauvage elixir with the EDP and you’re nuclear…literally🔥

upgrade from edt. edt boring but this is ok/alr

I’ll never not like Sauvage, I want to but it’s just too appealing. Most people like the Edt better but I like to be more subtle and this one just does it for me. Wearable in every season and has above average performance and longevity.

It's good, and I can see why it sells, but compared to BDC it's not as good. BDC has more naturals and smells more put together.

Smelled this one while I was in Ulta.
It was okay, nothing too crazy.
It was lighter & more fresher than the EDT.
I guess I’d say I’m more into stronger fragrances because I’d choose the EDT over this any day.
But hey that’s just a hot take these days lol.

Okay I'm putting my foot on my mouth. I put out some bad reviews on the original EDT and Elixir which I purchased both blindly. The EDT is just wayyyy too loud and obnoxious and Elixir is just okay. This here though is really nice. I purchased it blindly (bad habit) because of the reviews on here and I'm glad I did. Extremely smooth and fresh but it doesn't scream like the original. I'm going to say to the guys out there if you didn't like the EDT check this out.

The definition of versatility, you can use it any hour, any season, and for most occasions, the only thing I dislike is the synthetic smell. It is very mass appealing and I'd argue its worth owning but I personally wouldn't pay full price for it (not again at least, it tore a hole in my wallet)

This is the white Air Force1 of the fragrance world, it goes with everything good every season and can never go wrong. The only downside is everyone has it which is testament to how good it is. I say buy it wear it and enjoy it , you will smell good and feel good.

Others are correct, it feels like a lot of people are wearing it. But for me, I fell in love with this scent when I was kid when it was known as Irish Spring Soap (pretty sure it's Irish Spring... Zest maybe?). It's got a clean scent to it, and it lasts. I feel it is an everyday/every season scent. I probably wouldn't wear it on a romantic date, or formal event, but at the office/gym/park/store it makes for a great cologne. Dior kinda nailed it with this one, in my book it is better, more versatile to anything else they have created in the last 30 years.

Funny note, I find it ironic that Johnny Depp is the brand ambassador. I like JD, but he is not the person I would pick as smelling "clean and fresh" :-) He should be fronting for a more boozy/tobacco cologne.

Its a great everyday scent, like signature scent worthy. The downside is that everyone has it. I feel like its the first cologne people buy when they look to spend over $100 on a cologne.

Smells like the EDT, but without the liveliness. The citrus are muted, the pepper is not really peppery, and the cold mineral feel that the original had is gone. It is indeed deeper and rounder than the EDT, and as a result lacks what made it so beautiful in the first place.

My recommendation is to just get the original, or Elixir if you're looking for opulence. But since the EDP seems to be the top pick for so many, definitely test it first.

Only thing making this ”male” is the marketing. It is if anything, ”more male”, but I’d say it’s unisex

Rant incoming.

Lots have said it below but I'm here to say it again. I'd say in Canada 1 of every 10-15 guys (and this may be very liberal estimate) wear any cologne at all. Even then, odds are it's just some gifted adidas or CK cologne they just blindly apply to smell good (the whole point of perfume, remember?). I'm a collector and have lots of friends in the hobby, also having lots of Arab and South Asian friends, so that number can be closer to 1 of every 3-4 guys. AND YET, I know only a single friend who wears Dior Sauvage (EDT). Outside of this, I have never at the mall, at weddings, at university before I graduated or at work encountered Dior Sauvage even as an air trail. I'm quite social and go out often for reference.

I get that lots of the Sauvage hate comes from high schoolers just starting their collections and wanting to be different (as you may have seen on TikTok [and it may be the case that more highschoolers use Sauvage]), but if you're a grown adult and insist on hating a masterful creation from the perspective of perfumery for this reason alone, you really need to get a life. I'm in a bunch of private fragrance Facebook groups and it's always so frustrating seeing these losers rip on new collectors or people who enjoy designer just because it's designer/normie. They really need to go outside and touch the ground outside of this tiny fragrance community of ours. I've said it before and I say it again, NO ONE thinks you're smart, educated or of higher consciousness by being a contrarian or a snob (heard of Dunning Kruger?). We just think you are unbearable, and by extension, need to get some friends, a girl + certainly a therapist.

such a nice fragrance, works for any occasion/weather and very strong so you don’t have to overspray to be noticed. the only situation i wouldn’t recommend this in is if you are going out with a girl, the last thing you wanna do is remind her of her ex.

i do think that social media has had an opposite effect for this fragrance, because of all the hate you smell it less in public. me personally i don’t like to hate on things just because everyone else does.

overall, really happy i own this, smells and performs amazing, just don’t wear to any romantic situations.

ior Sauvage Eau de Parfum (EDP) is an olfactory masterpiece that effortlessly blends sophistication with a touch of wild allure. From the house of Dior, this fragrance opens with a burst of freshness, thanks to the vibrant notes of bergamot. The citrusy embrace sets the stage for a captivating journey.

As the scent unfolds, a harmonious mix of spices, including pepper and cardamom, adds a layer of warmth to the composition. This intriguing combination ignites the senses, creating a balanced and enticing aromatic experience.

The heart of Dior Sauvage EDP reveals the timeless elegance of lavender, lending a soothing and floral touch to the fragrance. It evokes a sense of calm amidst the vibrant top notes, creating a well-rounded and versatile scent.

In the dry down, the fragrance takes on a deeper and more sensual character with the infusion of musky elements. The amber trail, enriched by sandalwood, leaves a lasting impression, creating an alluring and seductive aura.

One of the notable features of Dior Sauvage EDP is its versatility. Whether worn during the day or night, it effortlessly transitions from casual to formal occasions. The longevity and sillage are commendable, ensuring that the fragrance lingers and makes a lasting impression.

Overall, Dior Sauvage Eau de Parfum is a modern classic that manages to be both bold and refined. It's a fragrance for those who appreciate a perfect balance of freshness, warmth, and sensuality, making it a timeless addition to any fragrance collection.

My Bf wear this often and so do a few other men that I know. Its the perfect scent to start off as a man i personally believe. Its perfect for teens and grown men. Its not too spicy or strong but it is def a recognizable smell. When a man walks past me with this on or when i step into an empty elevator, I immediately recognize the smell. A very good cologne and most of the hype is worth it. 9/10

This is definitely my favorite version of the Sauvage line I personally don’t like the elixir and regular parfum and although Sauvage is overhyped it is always a safe bet this lasts forever and always smells good never doing me wrong and I get many compliments with it on.

My mom loves this and my brother but for me? Meh. To be fair both of them dont wear perfumes like ever..
Id say its one of those safe bets for anyone that isnt in the perfume world bc they will love it. Its not offensive and very smooth. Enjoyable but nothing special. I guess Johnny Depp smells like every other man in his 30s haha

The negative reviews for Sauvage are extremely perplexing and off-putting.

The primary grievances seem to stem from its widespread popularity, as if that alone diminishes its value. Let's be real – we don't refuse to wear Nike, drive a Lexus, eat pizza, or shop at Walmart just because they're popular.

Considering that less than 15% of men even wear fragrances, the notion of encountering Sauvage everywhere is questionable. Are these reviewers living in airports to claim such ubiquity? I legitimately do not remember the last time I have smelled any fragrance, let alone Sauvage on another human being.

Sauvage is a stellar fragrance – universally appealing, adaptable, and a definite crowd-pleaser. Criticizing it for being too well-liked is, frankly, nonsensical.It's like saying that you wouldn't date a beautiful woman because too many people think that she is.

I digress however. If you like it, buy it, wear it, and be proud of it. If you don't like it, stick to whatever it is that makes you happy.

Sprayed on arm while testing multiple fragrances. After some time I can barely smell the others... but this... is a powerhouse.

It started fading around 4-5 hours, can still detect as skin scent after 8 hours

I need to buy a bottle of this. It made a good first impression.

Full disclosure, I wasn't a huge fan of "blue" fragrances like this until last year when I re-discovered an old Sauvage sample vial I had picked up a few years back at one of the department stores. I remember pretty specifically not liking it back then but I guess as I matured and the weather cooled my tastes changed and found myself loving it after trying it again so I purchased a decant. There is a powdery note, presumably the lavender, that lingers during the dry down that sometimes feels a bit overpowering but that may just be me. Admittedly, lately I have found myself reaching for my Bleu De Chanel over this just due to that powdery note but in no way is this a bad fragrance and I have decants of both on hand depending on the occasion.

The reason some people say you smell like everybody else is because of how good the fragrance is. I have a 2019 batch and it lasts the whole day on clothes. Stop the hate. Many people wear this coz of how good it is. Got a lot of compliments too.

In all honesty probably the best fragrance of all time, that being said is it not nearly as unique as it used to be. You smell it, pepper, vanilla and ambroxan. Everyone loves it, compliment magnet especially with more mature folks, good for any special event.
But I wouldn't wear it because of how common it is (and the fact I dont like blue fragrances).

this fragrance is alright just a little better than the original dior sauvage and it’s not something i would use everyday personally i wouldn’t really use it at all only for stuff like a quick run to the market or such

My batch is from 2019....

The first hour it smells great but after that the black pepper is taking over and im not a fan of that. After 3h it becomes a weak skin scent. I keep reading it has monster longevity but not my batch. After 6h it's barley noticeable.

To me, the Sauvage EdP is absolutely perfect.

Whatever hate that's accumulating towards Sauvage, it's unwarranted. You have to understand that some people will jump on the bandwagon of hate immediately.

Here's my take. Before Sauvage, there was nothing like Sauvage. Cool Water? Nope. Other blue fragrances? Nope.

What I really love about Sauvage is how pleasing and interesting it is. It tickles you with a floral-ish, blue signature which certainly never becomes anything but appealing. It stays clean, doesn't get sour, body odor-ish or anything unpleasant. It's manly and I would be very surprised to see a woman wearing this.

I'd argue that it's a very strong lineup from Dior, and really hard to ignore the qualities:

* Sauvage. A blast of freshness, like fresh out of the shower and very forward leaning, for anyone wanting to draw attention. A little too aggressive for my taste with a more peppery and slightly less sweet profile.

* Sauvage EdP. I love this. Still fresh out of the shower, but slightly more gourmand. It makes me smell my chest during the day.

* Sauvage Parfum. More shower, less power. Clean, but it does take some of the fun out of the equation. To me, I actually returned to Dior because I compared it to a store sample, which I found significantly different. Dior said that my batch was all good, but accepted my complaint. (Massive kudos to Dior for a pleasant and welcoming service).
In the end, the Parfum just seems more generic, dull and you could mistake if for a knock off, even though it isn't.

* Sauvage Elixir. Level up the mystery with a somewhat lower mass appeal. It's really great, but it's a different kind of beast. You have to go easy with this and still, a small sample bottle would probably suffice as this is a very intense version. An Elixir even. I find fewer occasions where I can wear this compared to EdP and I just opened the bottle of Elixir (60ml), but I'm thinking that I might need to let it sit to macerate, as I hope it will become more rounded (gourmand, appealing to me). Alternatively, I could sell it and go for a smaller bottle.
About Elixir, I actually got one 2nd hand which I believe must have been a really good knock off, so I gave it to my son and got a certified original bottle - and right now, I hate to admit that I like knockoff better than the one I got directly from Dior.

So there you have it. I wholeheartedly recommend the EdP and the whole line is superb. Well done, Dior!

Most basic fragrance in my collection , doesn't smell bad , but ,once I run out I probably not going to rebuy ...

Blindbought it, hits me everytime I smell the cap. Great fragrance when you don't know what to wear but want to be smelled.

Sauvage edp smells really good. I have all the big Blue fragrances , Armani adg profondo, YSL Y Edp and Bleu De chanel And just added Sauvage edp to the collection. The scent profile is definitely one of the best

I bought this a month ago and imo this is a very good dumb reach if you need something to put on while you’re going out to get groceries or going to the gym. It smell spicy and first and later when it dries down it gets a little soapy and fresh. It is also a crowd pleaser type of fragrance and trust me you are going to get a compliment wearing this. the performance is amazing. i get around 6-7 hours longevity.

I got this recently after i blindbought it. I was quite dissapointed because i might have hyped it up to much in my head before smelling it. but the fragrance isn't bad its just not amaaaazing. its mass appealing and fresh. i did get a compliment the first time i wore it which is a plus if thats what you're looking for. i'd give it a 7,5/10 since there is a note in it (which i cant define its either the nugmet or anis) that i really dont like. But other than that it is a nice, versatile and fresh fragrance.

smells basic but not a bad fragrance at all. have yet to use this much since i got it a day ago but it smells really masculine, a bit spicy and very mass appealing. this leans more over to a night/cold fragrance personally, im gonna rock this as a daily tho lol. i prefer elixir personally, but this is not a bad buy.

I agree with the review below me. I don't think Sauvage is "mainstream" or "npc" let alone the EDP. I very rarely come across other men whether it be in an office or workplace setting, gym, shops or even social encounter (just came back from a Christmas party) that wear any perfume or cologne period.... I think people spend too much time on Fragrantica and have this false perception that this smells like everyone else, it doesn't. This is very unique in its own right and I think it's quite mass pleasing. Very universal and can be used in any season or occasion. Dressed up or very casual. Date night or gym night. Does hit a little rough in the first few minutes but after about 15min it sits very nicely and I get that hit of lavender, pepper and nutmeg with the vanilla base. Projection isn't unbearable or at all offensive. A great safe scent you don't have to think about too much if you're not sure what to wear right out of the shower. Very hard to go wrong with this one and I totally disagree that you're going to smell like "her ex or her dad"

dont understand the hate behind sauvage. like only 10% of the populations use cologne everyday and why sauvage is "NPC" now. yall gotta understand that it smells good. literal compliment magnet and a crowd pleaser. btw opening can be synthetic to some nose

One of the best fragrances. Fresh, powerful, good silage, and lasts long for the whole day. I don't understand why Dimachi had to leave Dior. All his creations are great, and every line has its own charachter.

Its a good fresh spicy soapy fragance.
The most prominent note is bergamot followed by the Ambroxan that Sauvage is famous for.
Also it wasn't reformulated
8/10 Overused? maybe. Good? yes

Yup, this is goated. My favorite fragrance of all time. I don't care how many people say it's basic, no other "blue fragrance" I've smelled compares. This just has that wow factor and is a compliment magnet (though I mainly just wear it to smell good for myself). Longevity is amazing too, I still smell it noticeably on a suit I've worn weeks ago. I love this so much more than the EDT, which I don't find to be as versatile. I also can't see it ever becoming outdated. I know I'm overhyping it, but if I had to choose one fragrance to wear for the rest of my life, this is it.

I have a 100ml that’s used about 10-15%. Open to trades or a sale. Message me.

Despite smelling so many different fragrances. I always come back to love the peppery versatility of sauvage. It is a shame everyone wears it. I've tried many other options now and I just can't beat it. Ysl Y, Bleu de Chanel, Allure homme sport. I prefer sauvage to all of them. At least not everyone wears fragrances everyday.

This is pleasant in the air, I own a 2020 bottle and I can’t say I dislike it, but it’s also not my favorite… it’s a bit harsh when you smell it right on your skin, but it leaves a pleasant sillage that is nice. Worth a try, you might love it or hate it, that seems to be the consensus when it comes to Dior Sauvage.

@dior sausage I am looking at my edt and edp just now and the edp bottle is definitely darker

Worth it

reformulated sadly, way less pepper now, doesnt last as long anymore thought im smelling the edt at first, bottle' color also looks light/blue on the bottom, my old sauvage edp, is dark grey, as on the picture above.

Still attractive one , popular and well known though, yet give refreshing vibes and pleasing smell .. I love it too much and works very 👍

A lot of people wearing it ? Yes (though less than the EDT)
Is it mass appealing? Yes.

Should you hate it because it’s too common?

No! Please do not listen to Sauvage haters out there, it is a very good scent and people love it, if you like it buy it and wear it. Unless they are fragrance aficionados, COMMON PEOPLE DONT CARE if this fragrance is heavily used out there or not! Their subjective impression will be that you simply smell good. So no need to hate on this fragrance.

High versatility for any occasion and season, good longevity and projection.

Sauvage EDP is not a groundbreaking fragrance, but it may have its merits for some. The spicy and peppery opening is the best part. Then it blends towards something down the line ordinary for mass appeal. No one will tell you you smell bad, but I wouldn't expect many compliments either.

The superstar, the legend, the hero; Dior Sauvage. Everyone loves it, but will I? Let's find out;

Scent:
Opening is citrusy, spicy, and metallic. Right away I get blasted with the bergamot and ambroxan, but underneath that I can pick out the pepper, lavender, and star anise. It's a very clean, fresh out of the shower scent. The dry down is pretty similar to the opening, just not as loud. The lavender and pepper were still there, but dialed back. The ambroxan, however, was dialed up making the metallic note stand out more. I started to get a hint of the vanilla in the background. However, like the other notes in the fragrance, it was pretty well obscured by the ambroxan.

Performance:
Initial projection is strong, around 6 feet. Sillage is strong as well, leaving an easily noticeable scent trail. After a few hours the projection was about arms length, and there was still an easily noticeable scent trail. About 5 hours later the projection was at 12 inches and there was a moderately noticeable scent trail. Altogether the scent lasted about 8-10 hours on my skin.

When to wear:
This is a true all-season, day or night fragrance. You can wear this anytime, for any occasion, and people will think you smell great. A perfect office fragrance, but a great choice for a date as well. It just works 100% of the time.

Blind buy:
If you like fougere or blue fragrances, this is one of the safest blind buys you can find. Probably 99% of the population likes this fragrance. There's a reason it's one of the top selling men's fragrances.

Final verdict:
It's a fine fragrance. It's not my favorite in my collection, but I'm not the biggest fan of fougere fragrances to begin with. That being said, I like this one more than I typically would, and my wife loves it. Do I smell like 90% of other men when I wear it? Yes I do. But I can respect this fragrance for what it is; mass appealing and ultra-versatile. I can throw this on anywhere I go and it'll work. It wont be what I reach for first most of the time, but I'm happy to have it in my collection.

Scent: 8/10

Because I finished a bottle of the EDT I recently got this one, the EDP. Yes! This is fantastic. The dry down is smooth, fresh and creamy. It’s for a man that takes pride in his appearance. This is super versatile but believe it’s perfect for smart casual/ dressed up or the office.

Regardless of its popularity, I LOVE this fragrance, it just energizes me when I smell it. Lasts long, projects well and versatile for any season. Most people in my area don't seem to wear fragrances anyway, so I never smell it on anyone else.

I loved the fragrance and went for a bottle of 100 ml EDP. Now I don't know how to get rid of this. It does not even last an hour, even in English winter when most of the perfumes overperform. The smell is great, for someone like me who is an One Million loyal, it is not easy to get convinced on something else easily. But Sauvage achieved that. However, the performance let me down big time.

Really nice. Classic clean citrus, lavender, aromatic top & middle all sitting on a warm, smooth amber base. It's well rounded and high quality as you'd expect for the price. Then add in the fantastic performance, 8 hours+. It's popularity is the only reason I don't own this, no fault of the fragrance itself. 10/10.

Someone sprayed this on me today because I asked what their favourite perfume was.
Letting that happen was a big mistake.

The opening is great: clean, fresh, shower-gel-like. Unfortunately, that's where the compliments end.
This thing stuck to me like superglue. It's still stuck there on my arm after a hot shower, and it clogged up my nose to the point where I couldn't enjoy my lunch!! It's cloying and spicy alright. Doused in pepper spray my arm was! No more shower gel - now I just smell like some eshay who "borrowed" his dad's or uncle's perfume!

I tried the EDT once at Sephora and I'd recommend that over the EDP here. Sure it's weaker sauce but you won't be bombing people you walk past - besides, don't you want ladies to lean in and sniff you, not turn their noses 6 metres away? ;)
If it fits you and smells classy, go for it. Just be aware that this is quite popular and you may smell exactly the same as the sweaty teen boy standing next to you in the line or elevator.

We're going through the men's samples I've collected to find my husband a new signature scent after wearing Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille for two years. His review is that this is "good" but "chemically". Trying to get any additional adjectives out of him is impossible. Definitely will not be his new signature scent.

My review is that this is one that blasted the air with pepper right away. I got the pepper plus warm, fresh spices. The projection is mostly pepper, citrus, and ambroxan. If I come up and smell his clothes while he wears this, I get more of the creaminess from ambroxan and vanilla but they're more in the base. This scent has amazing lasting power. He applied it before a night out where we stayed out so late that the venue shut down. I could still smell him that night into the next afternoon. He pulled it again out of the sample bag a few days later and I could recognize it from the other room. I do like this; however, I would not call it a love. I know people shit on Sauvage but this is a quality scent. If you enjoy it, who cares?

I know people say everybody wears Sauvage; but where I'm from, not too many people wear fragrance. So smelling this is very unique to me. This was my third fragrance, and was my signature scent for a while. The dry-down on this is just outstanding. The anise and vanilla really stand out to me, and it's just too darn good! This is a great first fragrance for anyone looking to start their fragrance journey.

Was so torn between this and the edt. I wanted to just pick one for now, and I went with the edp. I wore a sample of the edt the other day and thought I made a mistake going for the edp. Now that I’ve worn both, I think I like the edp just a little more. The edt is soapy and fresh, but has a metallic-y, citrusy scent that is really quite sharp. This is different. The anise smoothes out the sharpness. This is still a blue fragrance, but it’s softer and more powdery. Kind of like if Sauvage had a baby with the OG Armani Code. I love it. Versatile, inoffensive everyday fresh scent. My favorite blue is still y edp, but this is right behind it.

Sauvage... oh sauvage {eau sauvage?!}

What a great fragrance! Heavily popular, its hard to say anything about this scent that hasn't already been said! Spicy, clean, fresh, woody, sexy. The opening with the pepper and the bergamot immediately grabs your attention and keeps it all the way to the woodier base. The ambroxan helps this stuff last for hours upon hours, allowing the citrus opening to persist much longer than it would otherwise. Everything about this fragrance is appealing, from its scent profile to its performance. It is something you can wear anytime and anywhere with full confidence that you will be perceived as both sexy and well kempt. Johnny Depp is the perfect ambassador for this scent. The new man. Not the wild, rugged, and untamed alpha gorilla that a 1970s fougere might express; Sauvage EdP takes that sexy wild spirit and tames it for the 21st century. This is sexiness and masculinity with a suit. Sauvage isn't for the caveman, but for that caveman's great great grandson. Women love this stuff. There's a reason "every guy" buys this fragrance (it's because it smells so good). Is it "generic"? Only because it smells so good that every other brand had to copy it! This does great in every category. I would argue that on paper: Sauvage is perfect. While I certainly wouldn't call it my holy grail, Sauvage is flaw-less (it has no flaws!) The only bad you can say about this scent is that it drowns in a pool of it's own success. And that pool smells like bergamot, black pepper, and cedar (with a hint of synthetic ambergris to boot).

Do yourself a favor and just get it!

This is good stuff. Smells really good, I definitely love and enjoy wearing this. I think it's not best suited to use on a hot climate, maybe best to use on a rainy day or a night setting. Performance is great and I personally recommend this.
Downside is that Prada Luna Rossa Carbon smells very similar to this one. I own both and if you're planning to buy Sauvage, try the Prada one first because it's much cheaper than Sauvage considering they have the same smell.

Perfect year round frag. Super versatile, can be dressed up or down. Darker than the EDT, but still clean and easy to pull off. I've not met a person who didn't like it.

If you looking for perfume with beast mode performance go for this one EDP, such a strong

I've stayed away from the hype as much as I could but finally gave into it. Boy, this stuff is GOOD!
Blue, versatile, super pleasant in the air masculine scent. Shower gel, but with an interesting couple of notes thrown in there: nutmeg and anise -> these are more apparent in the dry-down and give it quite a unique touch.
Wore this basically three days in a row, but because of how blue it is, I needed something else. Still, powerful and super easy to wear for anything-anywhere.
I prefer this over the EDT, but definitely need the Parfum to feel satisfied about the DNA -> one for the day, one for the night.
Also, it does smell similar to Luna Rossa Carbon, but the latter is certainly less interesting and shorter lasting.

Metallic, artificial & masculine.
Pepper, iron and machines in oily action + a fresh semi sour blueberry accord.

At first i really loved this fragrance , but as I started wearing it more frequently , i got tired of it , it is just boring , it smells great , but for the money that you pay for it you could’ve gotten something way better .7.5/10

I honestly prefer the edt, this one just smells like mint and some orange, the edt feels more watery and sensually smooth, I’m not a big fan of things that just smell like mint, like ok yeah it’s fresh and clean but it doesn’t have that sensuality that you want in a cologne

Love this one I have the whole line

Good ol' Sauvage, works year round. Overhated but not because of the smell, but because there was a time when it felt like everyone was wearing it. Nowadays, not so much. People seem to stay away from it to avoid the social backlash, but that doesn't happen anymore.

Really don't mind that a ton of people apparently wear this, and the EDT, I personally don't feel like I smell this one nearly as much as the EDT, I love it. Definitely torn between this and YSL Y as my signature scent. Cliché and boring, lol, I know.

I have this and the Parfum, and the Parfum does lie a tiny tiny little bit closer to the skin after a little while, but overall I get about the same performance off both. Scent is a little less powdery than the Parfum and more fresh. More of an all day driver for EDP, and maybe date night for the Parfum. I like that about it.

Keeping it short, really love the powdery sort of vibe in combination with the fresh and citrus that this has. I know it doesn't have powder as a profile (maybe the ambroxen with the pepper that does that for me), but to me, this has that so nicely. I also, don't get the vanilla in this at all. I'm not the best nose out there though at all lol. Smells amazing and lasts all day, and I work in a busy restaurant all evening, and even now after almost 8 hours of work, I still smell it. Been loving Dior as I grow my little collection.

Ok a shit ton of people already reviewed this so I will keep it brief.

This type of scent is the one that all the women like but they definitely already smelled it. I like to wear Sauvage EDP when I am not sure of what to wear and want to keep it simple and classy, it is a scent that is easily recognizable with all of the attention it has, but it is not a bad thing to smell good. I would sometimes layer this with some of my extremely heavy and powerful perfumes in order to calm it down a little bit and add some depth and freshness.
The person who smelled you will remember you as having a familiar scent that they cant quite recognize, and they will remember you as fresh and clean.
Overall 7/10

When you hear about rave reviews of a particular frag, don't just settle for the name, know what variant it is. As I was disappointed with the EDT, this is a different animal. Now we're talking! This is the flanker that has Johnny Depp's face on it not the EDT. My bad!
Opening is spicy citrus then starts to dry down lavander floral then to a musky sweet spicy vanillic soapy scent. Compared to the harsh opening of the EDT, this is more rounded on the edges. Very smooth from opening to dry down. Somehow, while using this scent, I wanted to take back what I said about Sauvage in general. This one has the appeal and made me think twice.
With it's musky accord this has good performance at 7-8 hours. Sillage was great and left a trail of scent that my family noticed while following me in the mall. Projection is also good. Even with the musky accord, a respray isn't cloying.

THE BOLD SELVAGE

"I didn't create Sauvage Eau de Parfum by working on power. Its signature is already very identifiable. It was not a matter of exaggerating or saturating the composition. I was striving more to enrich each of the dominant notes to give it a new colour."
(François Demachy, Dior Perfumer-Creator)

In 2019 I have done something I never thought I would do: I purchased a new Dior Sauvage 100ml flask. I decided I had to own the Eau de Parfum edition in my collection. When I bought the EdT version two years before, I disliked the peppery head and heart stages. They were just too harsh and unbalanced... that scent was not meant for me!
My EdT original Sauvage bottle is long gone. After getting tired of it, I ended up giving the half-full flask to a nephew of mine.
However... After reading some reviews of the newly launched EdP, I thought about trying it at a Sephora counter. By sheer impulse, I ended up buying a bottle. The intense pepper harshness is no longer there, and the “look at me, I am wearing Sauvage as everyone else” feeling was gone. The EdP is a smoother and more mature version of the familiar Sauvage EDT scent. This is a much better fragrance than the EdT, and if you don't like the loud and harsh peppery original EdT (as I don't), now you can use a more natural, more alluring and more versatile Sauvage scent. Of course, this isn't the most radical and complex of the scents, but almost everybody loves it, or at least likes it! Besides, for a different fresh and spicy oriental fougère, I have many other less common fragrances to choose from.
I am glad that the Sauvage Eau de Parfum features are not restricted to an intensity increase over the EdT. If that were the case, I fear that it would just amplify what I consider to be the Sauvage EdT defects: harshness in the opening and too much pepper in the top and middle stages.
In this EDP, the top note is a magnific Calabrian bergamot. It is as juicy and spirited as ever and without any harshness associated. It has a very natural citrusy fresh, floral and bittersweet scent. The hot, short-lived and earthy strong pepper from the EdT, became a smooth and non-intrusive trail.
In the heart, you notice a full-bodied sensuality. We face different spicy accords, namely Sichuan pepper, sweet spicy nutmeg, and a clean aromatic lavender. The liquorice's strong star anise odour becomes enhanced.
At the bottom, we came across the Sauvage signature accord: a strong woody and ambery track of quality synthetic Ambroxan, wrapped in a smoky sweet swirl of a very masculine vanilla. The synthetic feeling is still there, but it's not inconvenient or cumbersome.
If you have the EDT version - and like it - you may want to buy this version as well. I don't see them being redundant. Nevertheless, I have a suggestion: Get rid of the EDT and stick to the newer Eau de Parfum.
My peaceful classifications for this "Wild" Eau de Parfum Parfum:
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
- Opening: 8.5 (pleasant fresh bergamot but "mainstream" anyway)
- Drydown: 9.0 (nice "synthetic natural" (???) notes of ambroxan and vanilla absolute)
- Longevity: 8.0 (up to 8 hours with 3 sprays)
- Sillage: 7.5 (up to 6 feet with 2 hours projection)
- Versatility: 9.0 (almost any weather but mainly for Spring and Fall)
- Usability: 9.0 ("everybody likes" kind of fragrance, but also an "everybody uses" type)
- Compliments: 9.0 (a good magnet for Ladies' compliments)
- Uniqueness: 7.0 (unique for the ingredient's quality and natural smell; similar aroma as in EdT edition and its vast quantity of clones; many other people will exhale this type of aroma)
- Quality: 9.5 (despite the heavy ambroxan note, it has a very natural feeling and uses high-quality ingredients; the bottle is nice, solid, and heavy; It comes with a good spray and handy magnetic cap)
- Presentation: 9.0 (very nice, simple, effective and elegant)
- Price: 6.0 (not everything is good as this fragrance is overpriced; I rated 6.0, just thinking in quality versus price; It sells for €140 /100 ml)
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
Average: 8.35 (To the EDT I computed an overall rating of 7.70/10.0)
between 7 and 8 =above average;
between 8 and 9 = recommended;
bigger than 9 = don't miss it;

Opinion and Advice: If it fits your budget and you like the scent, just go ahead and buy it. But if you consider value for money issues, why should you pay a fortune for this overpriced perfume, when a 90% similar clone, like "Capucci L'Homme Suave", costs 10 times less?
- Am I tired of smelling this scent everywhere? Yes, I am! Even well-done perfumes tire you off if you smell them every day.
Eligible for a blind purchase?
a) Never at the current average price (€140 /100 ml non-tester).
b) I strongly advise you to try this Eau de Parfum first. You can easily get discouraged because the aroma is just so familiar to you due to overuse by your fellow neighbours.

I got the EDP as a gift from my wife, opens up to a fresh but does feel synthetic citrusy scent. Then it mellows down and it floats close to you with that oriental spice aura. Sillage is definitely not a trailblazer but its there, projection is quiet, not loud at all which I like. I only douse myself with 3 sprays. Maybe extra 2 sprays on my clothes will expand both aspects.

When my wife comes back from work, she is still able to get a sense of it when I hug her. So longevity is probably good for 8 hours.

Overall, a safe one by Dior and also a safe choice as a day-to-day fragrance. Probably not in the signature scent kind of way but more to being a face in the crowd kind of scent.

Fresh spicy is right! Citrus, pepper amber. Synthetic done right. Smooth AF. They should’ve never let me smell the Elixir, other versions of Sauvage pale in comparison. VG but very common. This is a must have entry level / starter fragrance. Great for a young man.

There's no better designer on the market right now than this beast. This is all you need. My favorite fragrance right now and most enjoyable to wear in my entire collection.

I love the edt version and the whole line but something about the edp I love. I guess it's the star anise and nutmeg

If you want compliments buy this,a great frag projection,sillage,longevity amazing,great value for your cash.

Pretty good fragrance overall. It’s a blue fragrance so out of the shower type of smell with sexy spiciness. Not much more to say other than it is a sauvage

Bought a 200ml of this today. I'm abit disappointed that the projection and sillage is tapered down. Wish I had bought earlier versions or stocked up on 10 bottles of the edt when it came out in 2018.

I was torn between the Dior Homme sport which has a beautiful elemi dry down but not exhilarating opening. I feel that the price is about a third to high for the projection and sillage. Fine, add the mature and depth to the fragrance but it's an EDP; why is it softer on "perceived concentration". Its not about nose numbness or anything. But I feel like I'm being forced to savour this fragrance for temperatures under 18'Cel. Otherwise it will fade. And people can rant all they want about ambroxan but what made edt so special is that the composition really really stretched out the sexy element note with the labdanum fixative (I assume). And to be frank I would've have actually thought the edp ambroxan will be equally present or more, not the case sadly. And to close: I won't even THINK to consider the elixir, less fluid per ounce and merely spicier but not the ambroxan fresh smell I associate with the dior sauvage line.

I like this fragrance a lot. I got the EDT first after sampling in a store. When I spray the EDT and EDP on each arm, I can really pick out the star anise and nutmeg of EDP. It seems slightly more spicy. I like both equally, and next I am going to try the Parfum, but I'm not sure whether I will try Elixir just yet.

Mixed feelings about this scent. The scent itself is good but the problem is that the atomizer does spray a lot more than you need. A full spray does give you a harsh strong smell that is not quite appealing for either you or people around you. The good thing is that Dior has the best atomizer so you can do a half spray and if you do that you will do yourself a favor. One half spray on each side of neck and you will not choke people around you.

Projection is strong and scent is long lasting. Very clean and fresh out of the shower smell. Just don’t overspray because then it will get harsh and very metallic smell from the ambroxan. To me it’s not worth full price, but if you find a deal it could totally be worth it. It’s a good all-arounder but you will not stand out but you will smell clean and fresh.
7.5/10

One of my first scens (before I started collecting). Scent is ok, a bit harse but the worst: Everyone and their grandpa is wearing this.

Smoother, Sweeter and Darker version of the EDT that is less synthetic.

Amber, citrus and fresh spice like the original but with some slight changes. EDT had Black, Pink and Sichuan peppers where as the EDP has the same Sichuan pepper but in combination with a sweet star anise. The EDP is still spicy scent but more of a sweet oriental spice. Bergamot still stands out and ambroxan is still strong but not as much as in the EDT. Vanilla base note adds a nice sweetness. Smoother and more refined version of the original that is less harsh. Freshness of the EDT with the fullness and sweetness of the Parfum/perfect blend.

Lavender and Star anise make this fragrance darker than the EDT which makes it more well rounded and better suited for night time than the original.

Still very popular fragrance but not quite as overworn as the EDT slightly more unique and less generic but you will still smell like a lot of other guys. Again if you like it wear it but don’t over spray as it can get annoying and don’t wear this fragrance for special occasions as it is not unique. Overall I would choose this over the EDT as it is more well rounded and is sexier than the edt

Great smelling scent that is very versatile, attractive, seductive and mass appealing.

Around 10 hours longevity on skin compared to 8 on the EDT and 12-15 on clothes.

3-4 ft projection rather than 5-6 on the original but still very good. EDP projects almost as well but without being too harsh. Aroma is very strong but soft at the same time and won’t nose blind people. Silage trail is nice, lingers in the air.


Great fragrance for day to day wear or going out at night. Better suited for autumn and winter than the original which makes it a 4 season fragrance. This great fragrance is a must have. If you want a smoother version of the EDT that is less harsh/sharp, sweeter and more attractive to most then this is the fragrance to go for.

finally I tested the Dior sauvage edp, it is a very mature perfume, it is not noisy like the edt. This is a perfect create for reserved men. it lasts 10 hours on the skin, and when it's very windy, that's when the edp gets nasty, it blows everywhere with the air up to 3 4 meters away without a problem. If you're in place and you don't move, it stays shy on the skin. If you walk he projects behind you like the devil. Better than the edt and the perfume version. EDP the best. 2022 badges 👍🏽

My every day signature fragrance. Very good and a lot of people like it. Some people might not like the ambroxan in it~!

I like both EDP and Parfum but EDP has a better sillage. Stop with the reformulation thing, its still long lasting and strong ! I dont know why people worry so much about smelling like others, majority of people wear EDT anyways.

I already submitted my review like a month or two ago, but I wore this yesterday and remember seeing people say that it got watered down and does not last as long as it once did.

That is not the case with my bottle from this year. At first I did feel like it faded within a few hours, but when I wore it yesterday I put it on at 5pm and this morning before I took a shower I still got whifs of it from where I sprayed it on my chest and the shirt I sprayed it on was still radiating in the smell of sauvage. This is well over 12 hours later. I don’t think this got weaker. 🤷🏻♂️

A long term review on Dior Sauvage EDP (been using it for a year). When I just bought Sauvage EDP, it had a sharp opening with citruses and pepper straight into the face, in the mid mild lavender pops up overall making a peppery-shower gel vibe and it goes till the dry-down.
After a year, the fragrance has transitioned, it's no more into your face peppery scent. The opening is Juicy bergamot with mild pepper. In the mid, the lavender is more powdery with light pepper and bergamot in the background. It still has fresh shower gel vibe in the mid. The far dry down has very smooth, powdery and a bit sweet peppery feel.
Overall the scent has grown on me and keeps getting better.

I finally caved in and got a Sauvage. The smell is pretty good, this feels a bit lighter than the EDT, maybe also a bit sweeter I don't remember. Tested the EDT quite a lot in stores.
Yeah yeah, it's very popular and overused, but putting that aside, it's actually an excellent fragrance in and of itself and a more refined version of the original. If you travel somewhere where Sauvage isn't popular or your friends circle doesn't know about it, it's actually one of the best compliment getters ever made and you know that already.
I'm trying to be as fair as possible, because I did smell this a bezillion times already and I'm not impressed when I finally got my bottle.

Said bottle looks sexy, it's very high quality with again, an excellent atomizer, just like Dior Homme Intense and Dior Homme Sport. The cap is great and magnetic as well and the gradient looks awesome. It's a show piece and needs to be put on the very front of your collection. It looks HOT.

9/10 Excellent but also very popular and not unique.

In my opinion, the EDP is the best fragrance of the line: not as brutal as the EDT and not as lethargic as the Parfum. Also, not as smoky as either of them. Compared to the EDT, it's more citrusy, which makes it more similar to the Blue de Chanel line, and I think it has less ambroxan. Still, it is an ambroxan-based scent and the rest of the package is just a background. However, it's a nice background, as I would expect from Dior. I'm curious how it would smell without ambroxan. As it is, Bleu de Chanel Parfum blows this fragrance out of the water in terms of sophistication and balance, I would say.

So, I bought my first bottle off of ebay from a dealer out of Florida that has good reviews. Got my bottle and it was straight watered down trash, I got tricked. So, I wanted to order another, but from fragrancenet.com and totally better and real. If you see prices to good to be true from small dealers don't risk it. Go with a trust worthy big name source. The batch code on the first bottle was from 2017. My bottle from fragrancenet.com was so damn good,real, and authentic I didn't even need to check or think twice. Plus the first bottle I got from the possible scammed which I cannot call a complete scammed without properly researching, the first bottle was scratched on the Dior name on the bottle and package was partially opened. So I learned my lesson. My 2nd bottle smells great, smoother and toned down from the heavy ambroxan that the edt has. I have yet to wear out and about, but am excited to do so.

I bought this and the Elixir together. Elixir = date night with the wife when she puts on a little black dress and something lacy underneath. The EDP is a fantastic every day wear - shower gel, aftershave balm, light application of the EDP behind the ear - and I’m ‘bout to crush it at the office.

Everyone I smell this on, including myself, projects it differently. It seems to morph with your body chemistry in the best way possible and women go NUTS over it

Technically impressive fragrance. Massive attention grabber. The smell is way smoother than the EDT, it starts up pretty harsh but evolves smoothly. On my skin this is a nuclear fragrance, 12h+ with big projection. Do not overspray, you’ll choke people. Oh and it’s Dior, and it’s made by Monsieur Demachy, so it’s top notch in terms of quality.

This perfume is pretty solid and packs a strong punch. It has excellent longevity and projection. However, I have to admit that I bought a 60ml bottle and halfway through I kind of got tired of it. I rarely find myself reaching for it anymore.

Classic and timeless fragrance. Smell like a sexy guy with a little bit of an emotional side. Very versatile and relatively inoffensive. Great staple for a collection.

Less loud more refined with a vanilla hint but still like spicy fresh. It is smoother than the edt but still keeps the dna. Less sweet than the parfum but sweeter than the edt. Projection is a good 2 hrs and longevity 10 hours more or less. I still like the dna but don’t use it as much.

Scent 8/10
Performance 9/10
Longevity 10/10
Price 7/10

interesting, not my favorite, but i don't hate it.

gives off a lavender-soapy smell, can't really smell any citrus

I don't like it as much as when I first got it. It's not bad, but it's strong in a boring or overwhelming kind of way. It's not something I would wear frequently. I give it 6/10 at best.

HELP ME I THINK IM GOING INSANE HALF THE TIME IT SMELLS EXTREMELY FRESH AND MASCULINE AND HALF THE TIME IT SMELLS LIKE METAL SHARDS BURNING MY NOSE HAIRS. WHICH ONE IS IT???????? AUUUGHHHH.

The EDP is fantastic. One of the first fragrances I've ever bought and it's still an awesome scent to me. I've smelled Sauvage in public but it's usually been the EDT as the common buyer who isn't a frag head want's something that just gets the job done. Which isn't a bad philosophy to have, if you roll like that. If you want something from this line that isn't as popular (merely due to the price tag) then try Elixir. I have Elixir and it's more smoky and licorice presenting than this. The EDP is honestly the most versatile out of all of them to me as it's really good for any season and really any occasion.

Its now for some reason a popular opinion that this is trash. Dont listen these people that say that. This might be one of the most used fragrances but regular people and lets say women who we all are trying to please dont recognize that the smell is sauvage when they smell it on you. They just smell this amazing scent. And i bet that most people are not so into fragrances that we here are and so they propably havent even heard of this Sauvage.
So all that said. This is the best fragrance for men ever created. Crowd pleasing sexy all year round scent that is suitable for work and club. Night and day.

This is actually a great scent. Don't listen to people that scoff at anything Sauvage just because it's popular doesn't make it bad. I get how people can get tired of a scent but this for me takes off the annoying aspect of the EDT. It doesn't project as much which to me is a plus but still has good longevity. It's not as fresh as the EDT but is more rounded and suave. IMO this is the best the Sauvage line has to offer. Just a class scent. 8.5/10

Great scent! Who cares if it’s popular, 9/10 people won’t recognise it I swear! I would recommend wearing it as a day time fragrance maybe find a more unique one for going out but it’s one of the best fresh spicy fragrances there is! You will always get compliments and even if it is recognised you’ll still smell good!

Well I finally gave in after years of saying I wouldn't buy it. Yes I smell it everywhere but damn, the EDP is a beautifully blended scent. A timeless scent really, can't see this ever being dated.

Jacksonville, and indeed all of coastal Florida, is very difficult to manage fragrance consistently. That’s because of the subtropical winds that permeate a strong oceanic pleasantness that is also very Mediterranean. Under such conditions one almost need not ever bother; typically a good shower will keep one clean and fresh smelling all day. So the trick is to identify fragrances that can stand uniquely blending with the nature atmosphere, and that takes sheer dedication. In a nutshell, Sauvage edp works magic and intoxicating miracles straight from Heaven when couple with the shower gel. People will flock to be near you, and you will love 💗 that!

This is a beautiful, masculine, peppery scent with a lavender/vanilla barbershoppy vibe. Lasts a whole work day and even if I go a little noseblind to it, a small gust of wind will wake up my senses to it. I don’t know what original reformulations were like but this is pretty fantastic in its 2023 version.

Side note: to the reviewer below who said this smelled like Invictus, I’d say perhaps see a doctor. There’s nothing bubblegum or syrupy sweet about this fragrance and if you think there is, please get checked out OR perhaps it’s a long COVID side effect. I know fragrance is very subjective but to say a marine bubblegum scent like Invictus is in the same ballpark as this makes me wonder if you’ve actually smelled this fragrance…

It’s good and I like it however out of all the ones like I have and have smelt I prefer the elixir the most.

I would recommend this to anyone of any age however, and I would say it’s a safe blind buy.

This appears to be very popular so it's a shame I must be the voice of dissent. The opening notes to this fragrance are fantastic, and it performs like a beast but the heart and base notes smell like dry soap. I say this is overrated. Perhaps my batch was poor or I received an unfortunate reformulation.

I don't care if it's reformulated. This stuff smells amazing. The vanilla and lavender make this bang. yeah its not going to go 18 hours like it did before but for 6-8 hours you will smell amazing, I'll take it. I got a 10ml when I bought elixir and my wife loves this. If you take it out of the Sauvage family context and compare it to normal designer EDP's this stuff is nuclear. For the F boys that snort and smoke Sauvage on a daily basis it's not strong enough and they want that pure uncut 2018 free base. Same ones who say Elixir isn't strong enough. Take a week off fragrance and then wear Jo Malone bathwater for a week and tell me Sauvage EDP is weak. You are playing yourself home bro.

Liked for a reason but it´s kind of overused, haven´t tested the Elixir yet but I hear it´s a step up from this

I liked a lot it when i tried on the store, i bought it and i feel the magic is gone, they sold me the reformulated version, the original from the store was much better, horrible longevity, 3 hours, but if you want a a mix of esque ambroxan shower gel and lavender deodorant, its sorta pleasant then, but is simple and boring, nutmeg? vanilla? Nothing of that! It smells like Invictus, that vibe of axe rexona nívea etc etc products, Bleu Chanel Eau de Parfum is much much more complex and charming for that expensive similar price, this is more a style of "refreshener" and "acuati-ked" scent of the original formulation, dissapointed if average to be liked

It's really expensive for something that brings up me an olfactory memory of a body spray you can find in Wal-Mart. This would be perfect for the young novice moving up from Axe body spray. The perfume goes in no direction that's pleasing. The only nice thing it has is the initial blast of citrus and spice but after 30 minutes to an hour it dries down to ambroxan and some nutmeg which I wouldn't mind without the overpowering ambroxan. If the drydown actually smelled like vanilla, nutmeg, and pepper then this would be nice but it doesn't even come close pleasant and yes, it does cause a horrible headache. This ambroxan crap is only added to satisfy the longevity crybabies but it ruins everything. I could go to Wal Mart and buy something familiar for $8-15. YSL was wise to use ambergris which adds a salted caramel when mixed with tonka bean in their Y Edp. Skip this if you have purchased more than one perfume in your life.

this Dior sauvage edp and the parfum are the best in my opinion. both perform well on me, older batches are much better if you can find them get’em . edp is masculine with the sweetness of the vanilla and nutmeg nuances the lavander the sichuan pepper also star Anise make this a great spicy sauvage. amazing to me.

If you keep a bottle of this one for a long time and it starts losing the top notes and it's citrus aspect, the remaining base smells divine. Now I'm impressed.

I remember smelling the edt sample and was like meh that’s cool, but everybody has it so I’m not even gonna worry about getting it.

Fast forward to now I was like screw this I’m ordering the edp. I don’t care how many people are wearing this. The juice just smells amazing. I def think this is better than the edt sample I smelled because that vanilla in there is magical, but I am still ordering the edt for an out the shower vibe.

I just regret not getting this sooner because of wanting to be “different.”

I try this fragrance.in night time 4 sprays two side on neak . And two my clothes. But opening not good after 15 minutes this fragrance smell much better. Then i going barber shop I feel like very good small I love suvage dna but moderate projections projections and slage not strong but normal

If there is one thing I've learned on my "journey", wearing "unique" scents just simply doesn't garner attention like not being ugly. I'm no premier physical specimen so the goal is to just not repulse anyone more than I have to with my garbage genetics and overtly average visage. Enter sauvage EDP. It's a highly mass pleasing scent that resembles a slightly metallic barbershop. Up front you'll get a quick blast of almost, but not quite, citric sharpness that quickly levels out into a generally spicy, masculine vanilla shave cream. Not three wise men spices, more like pie spices. Eventually a slight metallic tang comes in and there it pretty much stays until it's gone... which is a long damn time. It's very potent and the Dior atomizer lets loose a torrent so be mindful of your trigger finger. It will easily last a work day and beyond in a temp controlled environment. There really isn't a lot to hate unless you just like having sand in your clam.

Will go for the EDT or the EDP, in terms of sillage and projection and room filler?

So to add alittle confusion to the debate about reformulations,
I’m at this moment looking at two bottles for sale.

-9E09 batch code (may 2019) the formula code on the matching box is 13705/A

-2H02 batch code (August 2022) the formula code on the matching box is 12053/A

So if the 12053/A is supposedly the “older batch code” and the 13705/A is supposedly the newer according to people commenting on reformulations here , how do you explain this discrepancy?

Thanks. Feel free to PM me if you can actually explain it. I’m going to get the 2019 bottle in the meantime to be on the safe side because that’s the year I originally fell in love with it.

I'm a big fan of the EDT, so had lofty expectations for the EDP. This proved to be somewhat of a letdown.That said, it's not a bad fragrance fundamentally. I get some beach vibes from it, so imagine it would be good for the summer, though versatile enough to be donned in the winter.

8/10

Very powerful and warm fragrance. The problem is it’s overused, you’ll see teenagers all the way to middle aged men wear this scent. There is nothing wrong with the fragrance at all it’s just it’s been around for so long that it’s repetitive.

In my top 3 of most worn cologne over the last 2 years. Easiest to wear and one of my favorites. Barbershop, clean cut signature, refined. I receive some compliments but it’s not a beast like Y or BDC. I find the scent great. Hits perfectly in the high heat.

Rating: 9/10

I had a 2018 batch before and i burnt through half bottle when i was starting my fragrance journey. However when i realized that everyone was wearing i sold it. The performance of my 18 batch was insane with 12 hours of longevity and 3 to 4 hours of projection. Fast forward to 2023 after my grandma passed away i bought a bottle because she smelled it on me and she really liked it. So i bought it a bottle because it reminded me of her.
My 23 batch is clearly reformulated, it doesnt last as much ( about 6 hours) the projection still good but not as my 18 batch. Overall ill cherish my bottle as a memory of my grandmother, i don’t wear it that often anymore.
Overall id rate as 7.5 / 10 for the current batches

@Lorenza de Teressè Forget about this being overrated and overused. If you like it, then wear it. Don't be so concerned about everyone else using it that you feel like you can't stand out. This is popular for a reason. It just works. Rock it proudly, and be your own person with it!

Dior could've stopped at perfection but they went ahead and made it better anyway. Whenever I want to make my girlfriend drip like a broken faucet I put two sprays on my chest and two on my balls. Works every time. Her friends all whimper around me because their boyfriends barely wear deodorant. Did no one tell these fools that Sauvage is a one way ticket to a booty in your face? Lads don't be silly, Sauvage up and thank me later. The magnetic cap and pressurised atomiser are merely bonuses.

P.S. Everyone take note. This is how vanilla should be mixed into men's fragrances. If you wear something that smells like teenage girl's body spray then all the Sauvage lads will steal your girl.

Oh my gosh, this is amazing! I love it!

What can I say,I freaking love this fragrance,I have the edt (and love it)as well but the edp in my opinion offers something more,it could easily be my signature scent if I didn’t have 20 other fragrances in my collection that I love wearing as well,I originally bought the 60ml bottle and wore it a few times,I then realised that I needed a back up bottle so I saved up and got a 200ml bottle so I don’t run out

I bought a bottle even after Sauvage Elixer came out.

I did not "love" Elixer version and after sampling different concentrations,
decided that the EDP version is the best.

I spray about 5 times and it lasts a whole working day - smelling fresh and masculine.
Some people do not like ambroxan base note but It is what complements the whole scent.

Sauvage EDT is what boys wear.
Sauvage EDP is what men wear.
La Fin.

Has this gem been reformulated? Anyone got new batch? Can you please confirm.

Fresh & spicy, masculine and confident. If I had to only own one fragrance it would be savauge EDP period. It’s suitable for all occasions and well-liked. Worth the higher price tag for sure. If you’re 25+ just blind buy this. I can’t say enough positive things about this fragrance.

You would like this if you're into spice and spice and alot more spice.
Smell spicy, literally.

I have an EDP version of dior sauvage and it is really terrible.
It is the worst fragrance I have ever had, I can't understand the hype at all. Maybe the EDT version is much different...
Save your money and buy yourself a decent fragrance.

6 years ago I was a huge fan of the edt. But I was always disappointed what the scent turned into past the 15 minute mark. All the magic was in the opening. This mouth-watering citrus/vanilla melange was amazing to me. The coolspray captured this magic on steroids but dried down to pure black pepper. I stopped using Sauvage and eventually bought me 60ml of the EdP and the Parfum. While neither of both are able to recapture the opening of the EdT they both are way more pleasant throughout their drydowns. But the scent dnas are plenty different to not be redundant. The Parfum sways away most from the EdT and Elixir I cannot even consider a Sauvage flanker.

The EdP is certainly the longest lasting one of the three. And the drydown is reliably stable. It resembles the EdT in scent profile the most but is smoother and slightly sweeter. It remains pleasant throughout and after 12 hours I get solid whiffs of the EdP. This is more mature and more refinded than the EdT.

The Parfum version is the smoothest and most timid one. Also the sweetest in comparison. It is much different from the EdT's/EdP's dnas. I think it serves a similar use case or purpose as Bleu de Chanel Parfum which is why I really like the Parfum. The Parfum version also can be worn in high heat and in the gym (imho). There is nothing in the composition that could be perceived as too sharp, harsh, pungent or too spicy. The Parfum is the most mature and refined of the three versions.

The EDT is too sharp for me. This is more versatile and rounded. It's not as fresh as BDC though. I live in a tropical country, I guess that's why it projects really well. I just love smelling this! Whenever I get a glimpse of my bottle, I have to spray it just to smell it.

Between this and BDC EDP, this one performs better, sillage and longevity-wise. I still prefer BDC's scent profile though. I can smell this on me all day, but I get anosmic to BDC after a couple of hours.

I'd say this would be a great addition to one's collection or if you're looking for something you can wear and get lots of compliments. 9/10

Dior Sauvage EDP is a truly captivating fragrance that combines a sophisticated blend of aromatic and woody notes to create an unforgettable scent. The fragrance opens with a fresh burst of bergamot, followed by spicy notes of Sichuan pepper and a touch of lavender, creating a refreshing and invigorating experience.

As the fragrance develops, it reveals a rich and complex heart of elemi resin, pink pepper, and geranium, which gives it a unique and alluring character. The base notes of patchouli, cedarwood, and labdanum provide a warm and long-lasting finish, leaving a lasting impression on those around you.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Dior Sauvage EDP is its incredible versatility. It's perfect for any occasion, whether you're dressing up for a formal event or heading out for a casual day. The fragrance can be worn throughout the year, making it a great choice for all seasons.

The sleek and sophisticated bottle design adds to the allure of this fragrance, making it a stylish addition to any grooming routine. The overall result is a truly irresistible scent that will leave you feeling confident and sophisticated.

In conclusion, Dior Sauvage EDP is a high-quality fragrance that is sure to impress. Its blend of fresh, spicy, and woody notes creates a unique and unforgettable aroma that is perfect for any occasion. If you're looking for a new signature scent, Dior Sauvage EDP is definitely worth considering.

This is the best of the line in my opinion. Blended better than the EDT and Parfum.

Great fragrance that receives compliments. I have sampled the EDT, EDP, Parfum and Elixir. IMO all but the Elixir are too similar for the masses to make a true distinction. Personally, of course we can tell subtle differences in the scent -longevity is another story. For this one (EDP) I think this is not as sharp as the EDT but lasts longer. This line will cause heads to turn and compliments to be made.

Scent = 8.5/10
Longevity = 8/10
Projection = 7/10
Value = 8/10

Genuinely one of the most unique scents you'll ever smell. Recommend 10-12 sprays

I love this scent even tho every one and the mother has it

I own the EDT and the ELIXIR versions along with this EDP (Didnt liked enough the PARFUM). Ive been using this since the Beggining of 2020 and is a Beast in Longevity & Projection. In my personal opinion I do prefer ELIXIR above all the others BUT!!!! ... yup ..... theres a "BUT" ..... The EDP is 100% Versatile. You can't go wrong with this one. AMBROXAN BOMB = Compliments Magnet. It IS very very common to find anyone smelling like it but that doesnt mean that is not a masterpiece. Its a "headturner" mainly because you'll remind them of someone else ... BUT!!! .... If dressed attractive and projects security while walking, then you can take advantage of the "headturns" .... At the end of the day that's what Fragrances should do as an accesory of your whole fit/style & personality.

Anyone, how is the performance of the new batch 2022?
I heard it is weaker. Is it true?

I can’t explain why I love this so much. I prefer this to Bleu de Chanel. I want to smell like this most of the time.

I get the most compliments wearing this. I know Dior Sauvage is commonly worn but try layering this with Dior Sauvage Elixir and it combines to form a scent that is nothing short of addictive.

Dior Sauvage EDP lasts for hours. Great for all occasion. It smells like the most exquisite shower gel. I found my signature scent. Rating: A

The opening verges on headache inducing obnoxiousness. Takes awhile, but once it settles, laundry detergent clean is the overall vibe. It's OK. If you mainly like wood note frags, you'll probably be like me; you'll be ok wearing this but you wouldn't be enthusiastic to wear it.

While I love Elixir and the EDT, I find myself drawn back to this. For me, it has a more multifaceted approach than either of the aforementioned. The Bergamot, Sichuan Pepper and Ambroxan notes are nicely balanced, erring on the the side of sweet - but that is not a bad thing... Surprisingly it gives a bit of giddy randomness to the sauvage line that I have come to like. A very good scent overall but not for everyone.

Recommend!

My batch code is 1M02 from 12/2021 and it last 8+ hours on my skin. Stop talking nonsense.

Great smell and great performance.

I am lucky enough to have a bottle of this juice from 2018 when this first released. I still have a few ml left which I am savoring. 2 sprays to the neck of this batch consistently gets me moderate-strong projection for 3 hours and a sillage trail that seems to last until the 7th or 8th hour, before becoming a skin scent which then remains close to the skin til it reaches 12 hours while constantly evolving in scent. Truly amazing.

I have dior sauvage edt, edp and elixir and anytime I wear those girls juss go crazy. The only one I don’t have is the parfum which is feel like it kinda steering away from the sauvage dna into the bdc dna which I love bdc but when I wear sauvage it’s bc of the ambroxan manly smell it have to it. I hate the fact that ppl act like this fragrance is horrible, it’s a reason why this is the best seller. Dior sauvage is still one of my favorites and I been in the fragrance community for a lil over 2 years now. This along with the edt and elixir are masterpieces and are still heavy compliment getters and absolutely panty droppers forsurely

Mine is so weak, it’s legit pathetic. Nvm, apparently I just can’t smell Ambroxan. People tell me they can smell me from 6 feet away

I use it for 4 seasons as usual. I am very satisfied.

My favorite from the line. Can’t go wrong here

I heard this was reformulated for the better. Is this true gents? someone please confirm

Will always love this

I like it it's too Good Men
