Crackling campfire under a starry sky - Sauvage at night!

The Sauvage Story continues - a new chapter is opened, the wolves howl on, Johnny puts on his blouse, together with his poncho again and now sits chilly at the campfire...

My last Parfumo Duft comment was a few moons ago and ended with the view to the new Sauvage Parfum! Contrary to my assumption Dior does not make us happy only in the new decade, but already now - one and a half years after the EDP!

With Sauvage, Dior has now established a whole collection of products including a new moisturising cream and from next year also....pssst...still secret...! Only with the classic Eau Sauvage the brand has similarly many products to one fragrance in its assortment! I love it when I can and can celebrate my favourite fragrance from head to toe, for example with the Very Cool Spray! A well-known YouTuber likes to make a fool of himself for a minute...since then All Over Body Sprays have been celebrating a comeback! But that's only on the side.

Let's get down to business The term "perfume" is misleading for some people or why a "perfume" after the more noble "Eau De Parfum"? Parfum" or "Extrait de Parfum" contains 15 to 30% perfume oil. An "Eau de Parfum" contains between 8 and 14% perfume oil. Furthermore the Dior Parfum versions are knitted more opulently than the EDP's with regard to fragrance technology, more upscale - like the Sauvage PARFUM!

The opening is creamy, fruity, accompanied by a citric undertone. More opulence and velvety features are already unmistakable here!

The fragrance appears thicker, more full-bodied and richer right from the start, without being intrusive or even disguising.

The further course of the fragrance is peppered with powdery, peppery spice and warm accents. Sometimes I actually smell parallels to Bleu de Chanel's EDP/Perfume!

Woody, leathery nuances paired with bitter chords round off the fragrance and merge with the skin! The durability is very satisfactory! Even after 8 hours plus I perceive the scent on me! Sillage is very intense at the beginning, but weakens after the first hour.

The Sauvage perfume flatters my nose and should perhaps appease the many critics with its oriental aromas a little or mercifully...? But it is not for savers - 60ml costs 96,50 Euro!

SAUVAGE FOREVER!!!

Bleu de Sauvage???

Actually I have always been an opponent of the Sauvage series. I thought they were too intrusive and synthetically pungent. But here I have to admit to myself that I am now completely addicted to it. I had not really discovered it, it was made palatable to me in the form of a sample. It was a sunny and slightly windy, yet warm autumn day last year. My girlfriend and I were travelling in the beautiful city of Weimar. Actually, we were only here to stroll a little through the city and the park and afterwards have a coffee in an old town cafe. We walked past the miller and somehow I felt the urge to sniff a few scents. So we went in and off we went. After many rehearsals I got stuck in the Chanel corner and had Bleu de Chanel Edt wrapping which I liked very much. Then I went on and kept my friend company again who discovered a shower gel in the sale where she already has the perfume. So I took it and went with her to the checkout to buy it for her. It can be done, I think. :) Anyway, the nice saleswoman added a sample of Dior Sauvage. Actually I wanted to say that they can keep it, but I rejected the idea and thanked them. Arrived at home, I had to test the sample of course, and gave a spray on the back of my hand, with the aim of washing it off again immediately... But I gave him the chance and it was the right decision as I realized. So I smelled my hand and I had a flashback right away... That's just... No, it's not Bleu de Chanel? But somehow they resemble each other. This creamy fruitiness with shower gel violet reminded me quite strongly of this one. Anyway...I thought to myself and continued to smell my hand, slowly developing a little love for this fragrance. The sauvage DNA is definitely present but it is not as pungent as in the edt and edp. I also find it more elegant and somewhat quieter than the others, which I like. So I decided to buy it, which I did, as I could buy the 60ml for just 56€ at Flaconi. The durability is unbelievably good for me and far over +12h present. The sillage is not as strong as in the edt and edp but still remarkable. You definitely stand out and are regularly sniffed at and showered with compliments. Definitely a solid fragrance with an addictive factor that is perfect for the autumn winter spring. My absolute favourite in my collection

Sauvage perfume and a few words about Ambrox, wax corpses and mainstream

Actually, after receiving a sample, I had intended to give only a brief description and evaluation on the scent progression of Sauvage Parfum. But after I had used this fascinated over and over again in the last few days, that now seems no longer possible. The more I sniffed, the more questions I had in my head. Do you know this scent from somewhere? In which drawer does it belong now? What is so special about it? And what, pray tell, is Ambroxan again?

One does not suspect sometimes, how much time one spends with a smell and the whole Drumher so. But I enjoy it, it pleases my nose and my brain. I type on my keyboard, enter the first keyword...type...type...ambroxan. A contemporary substitute for amber, which like musk is considered one of the most valuable animal scents. However, ambroxan has also been known for a very long time.

Moving on, ...hint...hint...Ambrox(an) enhances the body's own scent aromas in a chemical reaction with human skin. Interesting, you can buy ambroxan in a bottle without any other additives, without distraction from other floral, sweet or spicy scents.

Moving on...hint...hint...waxy corpse...excuse me? Yes, indeed, ambrox(an) forms in small quantities on corpses whose bodies do not follow the original decomposition process. The movie "Perfume" promptly comes to mind, the story of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, who kills women in order to extract from their bodies the perfect ingredient for the perfect perfume. I grin to myself for a moment. No, I have no intention of creating such a perfume myself.

But now back to Sauvage.

It wasn't love at first sniff, but I've had that with another fragrance that is now a permanent part of my collection. Sauvage starts with a nice, slightly fruity freshness, with mandarin, subtle bergamot as well as lavender and some pepper. Nutmeg adds a bit of spice to everything. As it progresses, pleasantly sweet woody warm notes mingle with the slightly spicy and powdery notes of tonka bean. I'm not surprised that I like this fragrance with such ingredients, I find them but also with the other fragrances in my collection.

Sauvage fits well on cooler days, especially if you don't like it so extremely sweet. Sauvage has apart from that qualities of a real all-rounder, as I could already find with Bleu de Chanel, not intrusive and suitable for many occasions. And yet, this also applies to BdC, Sauvage perfume has its very own character.
Jonny Depp as a figurehead for the advertising campaign still underlines the intention of the creators to Sauvage to a large mass, and that seems to have succeeded. For some, this is already a reason not to wear the fragrance or not to like it at all. For me, however, that's not a criterion and for me, surprisingly, Sauvage perfume doesn't fit into any pigeonhole either. If I hadn't gotten this sample of Sauvage Parfum, I probably wouldn't have cared much about it. As it is, however, I'm quite glad I tested it. It's already on my watch list for the coming fall and winter.

Not intensive, but mandarin

In my commentary on eau de parfum, I described in detail that I found a decent trace better than the eau de toilette. Even so much so that I had to take it into my possession - even if only for a limited time until the bottle was empty.

But how would I benefit from an increase to Sauvage Parfum? Would this be even more intense, intoxicating, attractive?

Well, what I notice is on the one hand a strong reference to the original Sauvage DNA, just peppery and quite synthetic or ambroxan-heavy. But the interesting difference is the small shot of mandarin, which makes this version much more independent and almost unmistakable.

I like tangerine, but here I have the feeling that they wanted to counter the successful Aqva Amara by Bulgari, the 1 Million by Paco Rabanne and possibly also the Wanted by Night by Azzaro with something at least slightly fruity-sweet without consistently leaving the aura of the mega-seller Sauvage.

It's actually quite clever, because that way you can expand the range and attract more buyers without alienating the original target group, although I think Sauvage Perfume is primarily aimed at younger people. And not without some thought, with the addition of perfume in the name, it's almost more of a flanker than a more intense version.

It should be noted, for example, that I sprayed all three versions 1 x next to each other on kitchen paper and even after days it was still noticeable that, paradoxically, the eau de toilette had the strongest radiance and durability and the so-called perfume was far softer, a little bit more fruity, more restrained and short-lived.

Nevertheless, for purely personal reasons, I still prefer the eau de parfum. It is more mature and captivatingly created for my taste and simply more enticing in its spicy-synthetic way.

So if you're on the H/S card, you won't necessarily be happy with Sauvage perfume, unless the timid tangerine note reconciles you.

What a disappointment

Dior Sauvage Parfum actually does a lot right and is still a big disappointment for me. So I'm glad I didn't get the bottle but a sample of a perfume.

The bottle is well-known, but very good, which also applies to the sprayer.
The same applies to the fragrance, which I like from the beginning. Especially the warm and comfortable drydown I like very much. I could keep sniffing at that.

All this doesn't matter in the end because the perfume has two problems.
First of all, there is the extremely bad Sillage. Also at the beginning, it is at most with one meter, if at all. Sure, you can't expect as much from a perfume as you can from an edt or edp, but you can't expect as much?
And what's worse: After 45 to 60 minutes it is only perceptible at close range. That's just not possible. And no, I have not only gotten used to the scent, but also let others smell it. You only take the scent directly on the skin was. Even I, the wearer, have none of it.

That at such a proud price is simply unacceptable.

Purely from the smell it is my favourite sauvage, because it is simply the most complex. But I don't spend the money on a very close scent. Even with eight sprayers, it wasn't noticed. At edt or edp I could use it to smell a warehouse.

Sorry Dior, but I prefer to stay with EDP, or buy two other designers who are similar or just as good
