Eau Sauvage
by Dior
Eau Sauvage is a timeless, classic masculine cologne celebrated for its crisp, citrus-rich opening of bergamot, lemon, and basil, seamlessly blending into a refined aromatic heart with rosemary, rose, and jasmine. The dry-down reveals a subtle woody-vetiver and oakmoss base, creating a clean, fresh, and surprisingly mature profile that recalls barber shops and sunlit Mediterranean gardens. Despite its elegant simplicity, the fragrance is known for limited longevity and moderate sillage, making it best worn in warm weather and often reapplied throughout the day. It evokes a sense of timeless sophistication and masculine elegance, especially suited for those drawn to classic, unapologetic masculine scents beyond the modern, synthetic norm.
