Eau Sauvage Parfum

Eau Sauvage Parfum is a flanker of Eau Sauvage launched by Dior in 2012 and composed by François Demachy. It retains the structure of the 1966 original — bergamot, lavender, hedione — but shifts the balance toward the woody base, where vetiver, patchouli and oakmoss take up more space, making it a darker juice than the eau de toilette it derives from. It should not be confused with Sauvage, released in 2015, which belongs to a different line.

While the citrus notes characteristic of the original juice remain, they become deeper thanks to oriental sensualities that draw Eau Sauvage into a charming darkness...

Alain Delon, a legendary image, and Eau Sauvage Parfum his fragrance

Although Eau Sauvage was worn in the past by great male celebrities, it should be noted that there was a before Alain Delon and an after… Indeed, by making the bold choice of having a young and radiant archival Alain Delon wear its flagship fragrance, Dior takes the risk of losing young men in a flood of appealing but rather dated retro images.

This is not the case, and the ambassador Alain Delon, made young again through the magic of advertising campaigns, proves successful in bringing Eau Sauvage back into the bestseller rankings once more. Naturally, the very young Eau Sauvage Parfum released in 2012 could not be worn by anyone other than the young dandy that the so majestic Alain Delon once was.

The visual for Eau Sauvage Parfum thus makes use of the photograph by Jean-Marie Perrier, already reworked by Dior in the past, to present its mysterious fragrance. Clearly, the young man's pose, both nonchalant and mysterious, fits perfectly with the spirit of nocturnal wild elegance that Dior wishes to instill in its oriental Eau Sauvage Parfum.

Eau Sauvage Parfum, or the taste of freshness with a nocturnal signature

True to the fine tradition of the Dior house, which likes to preserve traces of the original bottles of its great perfumes, Eau Sauvage Parfum retains the emblematic flask-shaped bottle. However, the label and cap of the Eau Sauvage Parfum bottle are dressed in black to better evoke mystery and night, conducive to sensual scents.

Same timeless chic, same self-evidence, the great classic dares for the first time the noblest of concentrations: the Parfum for a black-tie seduction. Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum.

Indeed, Eau Sauvage Parfum does not hesitate to offer the bright top notes of Calabrian bergamot accompanied by its magnificent aromatic notes (basil, lavender, rosemary, thyme) that made the line's success. At the heart, one can enjoy again the freshness of hedione, in harmony with the lovely floral notes of rose and jasmine. Haitian vetiver also appears among its fresh and floral touches to bring out its chypre and amber notes. Finally, the surprise guest of Eau Sauvage Parfum appears in the form of Somali myrrh essence, which brings a balsamic and smoky facet to the chypre whole, composed, as tradition dictates, of amber, labdanum, patchouli and oakmoss.

As Dior announces, Eau Sauvage Parfum offers a new intensity: magnetic and deep. The height of masculine refinement. From the enigmatic and charismatic Alain Delon to the power of the fragrance and the color of its juice, every element comes together to herald the arrival of a beautiful dark oriental on the market!
