On my quest to find the best summer & spring scent in my fragrance fantasy lineup for 2016, I got my hands on Dior Sauvage. I was really excited to try the latest and greatest from the Dior house.

As I am writing this article, Summertime is in full effect and my current go to scent is Dior Aqua Fahrenheit. But being a Cologne Head I am always looking for new Fragrances. Can Dior deliver with its newest fragrance Sauvage?

To Sauvage or not to Sauvage let’s find out?

Classic Dior, clean and simple design executed perfectly. Beautiful cylindrical bottle with a barbershop tight blue to white fade.

And as always the sprayer is fantastic, really giving you the dragon’s breath when you hit the nozzle. One thing that is consistent with Dior is you will always get a fantastic bottle with a sprayer that gives you enough juice to swim in!

Dior great job!

Top Notes: Pepper and Calabrian Bergamot

Middle Notes: Geranium, Lavender, Sichuan Pepper, Elemi, Pink Pepper, Vetiver and Patchouli

Base Notes: Cedar, Labdanum and Ambroxan

Dior Sauvage was launched in the summer of 2015, and the nose behind this fragrance is Francois Demachy.

What a gorgeous scent from beginning to end. When I first put on Dior Sauvage I get a strong blast of pepper blended perfectly with Bergamot. I get a very similar Bleu De Chanel vibe at the opening, but honestly I prefer the opening on Sauvage much better.

Once Sauvage starts to dry down, you really start to fall in love with it.  It’s really interesting that I get so many vibes from this fragrance: Cool, Fresh, Fruity and Clean WOW!

I love this scent but it definitely reminds me of fragrances I have smelled in the past.

I get good projection out of Dior Sauvage. For the first 4 hours I really feel like I am leaving a nice scent cloud. Be careful wearing this scent if you’re married because it will garner compliments, and for a split second you’ll feel like Johnny Depp.

All jokes aside Dior did a great job creating a fresh scent that projects well, I get a solid 4 hours of good projection.

With most Dior fragrances I have, the longevity is great. Dior Sauvage is no different, I get great longevity out of this gem. On average it last on my skin 10-12 hours, which is quite exceptional for a fresh fragrance.

Season: All Year

Age Group:21 and up.

Very versatile fragrance that you could wear all year long. I initially was looking for a summer and spring scent, but the more I wear Sauvage the more I see myself wearing this in the winter.
