CHRISTIAN DIOR - Sauvage Parfum
A highly concentrated interpretation of the iconic Sauvage, this Parfum melds extreme freshness with warm, ambery depth and an animal beauty that comes alive on skin. Perfumer-Creator François Demachy drew inspiration from a wild, unspoiled expanse beneath a blue-tinged night sky — the intense aroma of a crackling fire rising into cool night air.
The fragrance opens with bright mandarin and bergamot, delivering the powerful aromatic freshness Sauvage is known for. At its heart, precious Sri Lankan sandalwood takes center stage — dense, milky, and enveloping — joined by cedar with an unexpected jammy, raspberry-like facet. The base wraps everything in vanilla absolute and tonka bean, bitter yet mouthwatering, for a rich, intoxicating trail that lingers long into the night.
As François Demachy describes it: this is "the impact when intense freshness meets the smooth depth of an oriental" — the powerful soul of Sauvage, given nocturnal accents and an animal attraction. It's the fragrance of a new frontier, celebrating the magic of wide-open spaces.
