What Does Dior Sauvage EDP Smell Like?
The opening starts with a blast of fresh bergamot. In the background are mildly spicy pepper notes and a clean, soapy lavender. In this case, lavender is very modern and uplifting rather than old-school.
As the scent develops, the citrus notes fade but leave their fresh accents. The ambroxan from the base starts to push to the forefront. The spices are slightly more prominent as the ambroxan “pushes” them to the top. At this point, the lavender is almost entirely gone. A soft and well-rounded nature takes its place.
The rest of the wear is simple. Warm ambroxan is the most prominent, accompanied by fresh accents. Of all parts of the fragrance, the opening is the most interesting.

Performance
Dior Sauvage is an excellent performer lasting on the skin for 10 hours and projecting well. It pushes out an arm’s length or more for multiple hours. It isn’t a room filler like the EDT version, but it’s not far behind.
This is all-year-round and all-occasion wear. It is the “just right” version of everything that can be worn for anything. Not much else can be said about its versatility. This leads me to its uniqueness. Compared to other men, it is not unique. It’s actually probably the least unique fragrance on the market to you.
However, the smell is different. It gets a lot of heat for being an ambroxan bomb. Yet, the Dior Sauvage line started these ambroxan-based fragrances. So, I have to give credit where credit is due. Still, not the epitome of artisanal perfumery, though.
Lastly, Sauvage is likable and will get you compliments. The TikTok’s of girls fainting when “he” wears Dior Sauvage is accurate in the amount of attention.
Is Dior Sauvage EDP Worth It?
Yes.
The EDP version is the best from the line. Plus, it has all the amazing characteristics talked about above. Yes, it’s ultra-popular, but it got to that point for a reason.

The box is black with the name on the front. The batch code will be on the bottom of both the box and bottle.
DIOR SAUVAGE HISTORY
Dior Sauvage EDT came out as a Christian Dior men’s cologne in 2015. It soon became one of the most popular colognes, giving Bleu de Chanel a run for its money. Well, why did it become so popular? The smell and performance are outstanding. It also helped to have a commercial of Johnny Depp wearing Dior Sauvage.
After a few years of success, Dior decided to expand the line. They released Dior Sauvage Eau de Parfum in 2018. Released Parfum in 2019, released Very Cool Spray in 2017, and released Sauvage Elixir in 2021. All were outstanding successes.
So what’s the history behind why Dior Sauvage is so expensive? Dior is a designer brand with success on both the men’s and women’s side of fragrances. Dior also uses the highest quality ingredients in all their perfumes.
