Sauvage Eau de Parfum

Sauvage Eau de Parfum is the 2018 version François Demachy composed for Dior around the eau de toilette’s Calabrian bergamot, warmed with a Papua New Guinean vanilla extract. The house draws inspiration from a desert at twilight; star anise, nutmeg, lavender and Sichuan pepper make up its heart.

Dior launched Sauvage Eau de Parfum in the spring of 2018, three years after the eau de toilette. François Demachy says he recreated it step by step, without overloading the composition, rethinking the balances of a signature he already considered highly recognizable.

The house places its inspiration in the desert at the magic hour of twilight, when the burning air mingles with the coolness of the night. It sees in it the hour when the wolves come out and the sky is set ablaze, a moment tinted with a deep blue.

An eau de parfum at the center of the line

Dior now presents it as the most versatile expression of Sauvage: more intense than the eau de toilette, more measured than the elixir. Johnny Depp remains its face, as for the rest of the line, in images signed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino.

What critics say

Marin Kristic, at Scent Grail, sees it as the best “blue” fragrance on the market: rounder than the Eau de Toilette, its spices blended into ambroxan, its vanilla discreet.

Johnny Depp, 2018

Johnny Depp, photographed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino near Joshua Tree, embodies the eau de parfum’s magic hour in 2018.

The 2018 campaign keeps Johnny Depp as its face. Jean-Baptiste Mondino photographs him near Joshua Tree, in the Californian desert, around the idea of the magic hour, when the burning air of the day meets the coolness of the night.
