Eau Sauvage Parfum is the most concentrated version of Eau Sauvage, entrusted by Dior to François Demachy in 2012 and recomposed by him in 2017. The version sold today pairs Calabrian bergamot, citron and lavender around Haitian vetiver, over a base of elemi from the Philippines that has taken the place of the 2012 myrrh.
Calabrian bergamot, drawn from the peel by cold expression, opens Eau Sauvage Parfum with citron and lavender. Haitian vetiver forms a woody heart that the house describes as a pure, light wood.
Elemi from the Philippines holds the base. This essence, distilled from the resin of a tropical tree that is a botanical relative of myrrh and frankincense, brings a peppery, lemony freshness that Dior places within a spicy, oriental base.
The 2012 version
The first Eau Sauvage Parfum brought together bergamot, Haitian vetiver and myrrh over a base of woods and amber. Myrrh and vetiver formed its heart; Dior presented it as a nocturnal, mysterious and sensual signature.
