Eau Sauvage Cologne offers a bright, linear citrus fragrance with bold bergamot and grapefruit top notes, balanced by a subtle green galbanum and vetiver base. It feels modern and clean, with a crisp, slightly herbal edge that gives it a refreshing edge without going over into synthetic or cleaning product territory. While it is not an extension of the original Eau Sauvage, it stands on its own as a well-crafted summer cologne—smooth, concentrated, and ideally suited for extreme heat. Its performance is moderate, lasting up to six hours on skin and much longer on clothing, with projecting sillage that is moderate and fading quickly after the first few hours. The scent left a strong impression on many users, with some comparing it to Dior Homme Cologne or Nio by Xerjoff, and it has been praised for its crisp, youthful freshness and gentle masculinity. It is particularly favored for daytime wear during summer, where its clean and radiant character stands out. However, longevity and projection are considered modest, and it lacks the depth and substance of the original Eau Sauvage or even the EDP version. In short: a sleek, refreshing summer signature for those seeking a sharp, citrus-driven, non-invasive scent with strong elegance and simplicity.
