Eau Sauvage Parfum Dior for men

This is a VERY BALMY scent. The myrrh, bergamot and vetiver sound like they would combine to make a slightly dry scent but that is not the case. The myrrh in here is too strong and gave me a headache. This stuff can get cloying fast so be careful. Dior uses high quality ingredients and this smells fairly good but it was just too cloying and could have been blended slightly better to tone down the myrrh. This is definitely for the 30 and up crowd though.

Ridiculously sexy. Macho all the way. Elegant, modernly classy. Wear this at night time for the night club and you will be set. Bravo. Smoky at first, dark, green, earthy, woody, musky, such a great combination. It stays close to the skin as it's not loud. It can be worn all year round and for any occasion. Try it.

With Eau Sauvage Parfum, Dior is bringing genuinity back. This fragrance has a lot more quality then most of the other frangrances on the market today. There is none of that piercing synthetic glue-like scent I get in many of today's (re-) formulations.

ESP is true craftsmanship. I'm glad to see that with todays regulations on raw materials this is still possible.

What I also like here is the soberness in which the whole thing has been done and presented. Packaging that has not been changed since 1966 and not many ingredients in the parfum. It fits today's philosophy of surrouding us with less. We feel best with harmony and peace.

In aromatherapy Bergamot is an effective antidote against depression and nervousness. Vetiver is calming, strengthens self-awareness and gives purpes to reality. Myrrh gives clarity, reason and is also calming. I wonder if Francois Demachy used this knowledge or was it instinctive he knew these three plant oils would deepen eachothers effect. ...I am getting carried away here ;-)

Wonderfull scent. It will be my favorite for a long time.

at first spray I thought, wow, wonderful but what does it remind me of...I immediately thought, now I could be wrong but clinque's aromatics elixir.. just going off memory, I always loved that fragrance if used in moderation..and this sort of reminds me of that type of potent snappy good smelling, powerful sexy woman scent, but now a version for men..thinking about ordering this one, I could see this as the perfect tuxedo scent...but just a powerful masculine but "pretty" smelling fragrance for the guy that just wants to be at the top of his game, I don't think you would need to much of this to make an impact..sniff this one if you have the chance..other fragrances it reminds me of is cartier must por homme...some similarities with that one too..two thumbs up from me.

House of Doir, Finally broke through with a men's fragrance being a Eau De Purfum. Eau De Purfum has almost always been referred to as women's fragrance's. Men have always had either a cologne or EDT.
The first time I sampled it on my skin and returned to work, I had so many tell me how good I smelled. I had one female co-worker insist that I tell her what I was wearing because she liked it so much, she wanted it for herself that's how knew it was an excellent product from the house of Dior.
When I first tried it, it was a bit heavy for the first hour . After it had settled it had an amazing aroma of Bergamot with a fine blend of Myrrh and Vetiver which gives this purfum the longevity beyond 12hr's.
Summing it in two words is... Loving it !!!!! Another phrase everyone has heard is "less is more", with only three notes Dior has created a MASTERPIECE..it takes on a very unique and attractive appeal that makes this a MUST HAVE .
Longevity is well past 12hr's
Sillage is Excellent
Overall...I rate this 10/10.
This is one of my signature fragrance's now, it is perfect from the late summer through till early spring.
There is nothing else that anyone can compare it to in my book !!!!!!!!

Opium Pour Homme, has been my number one frag, forever...I cant even remember how many years its been my 'signature frag'...thats how long, Ive been using it.

but everyday, when I spray something on myself on the way out the door, I'll take a quick sniff of this Dior juice..and there are times when I just shake my head in amusement, in recognition of how perfect this is.

Well, Im making it my 'Number 1", now...every single time I smell this, I kinda close my eyes a little..just taking it all in.

3 fuckin' notes, and it damn near blows way all the competition out there in the fragrance universe. I can see myself keeping this around, until they stick me in an urn.

Somebody mentioned a weak marketing? I think its the best marketing ever! Alain Delon & Romy Schneider in La Piscine! Of course if you havent seen the movie you may not know what/whom Iam talking about. Anyways, this scent is fantastic, already an evergreen, classy and stylish with great staying power. A fragrance that is superb from the head notes down to the base. In the first half hour it strongly reminds me of Gianni Versace"s masterpiece from 1984: L'Homme! Same class but Dior gets even better as it takes a nicer direction in the dry down. Very brave take on a 20th Century Classic which has been transformed into a 21st Century Classic!

Great fragrance..total masculinity, but in a elegant way.. very intriguing, sensual, mysterious.. it gets you that green balmy feeling.. I could imagine jose mourinho wears this :)

Best re-launching ever of Dior´s House.The dry down is pure gold!

Nice, timeless scent !

Opens with fresh bergamot.

I get many similarities with YSL's M7 Oud Absolu in the drydown, given the presence of myrrh. Coupled with woods (vetiver here), it gets very medicinal.

Caution : sillage is super heavy. It can easily get overwhelming.

I love this scent,Eau Sauvage gives such a nice warm feeling.
This stuff is so amazingly simple but awesome,It's very interesting,Elegance in a bottle,
long lastingit and HIGH QUALITY.

این عطر با کیفیت کارشناسی شده است.بسیار خوب است.دوست داشتنی .با کلاس عطر درجه یک.

What's in a name? Dior could have called this Eau de Dog Sh*t, and I still would have bought it. Simply incredible.

This is all veti-myrrh, which is surprisingly versatile for me. I just wish the bergamot hung around a little longer, as it seems to disappear within 30-60 seconds. If you don't get all hung up about the nomenclature link to Eau Sauvage, you can truly enjoy what is a phenomenal scent. At the end of the day, who the hell cares what it's called???

First of all, don't go by the misleading "parfum" designation. This is not a more concentrated version of Eau Sauvage. This is a flanker. Different notes/a reinterpretation/an hommage - call it what you will. They should have called it something other than "Parfum" - that confuses people.

It's a lovely, warm, soft, balmy smell. Not aggressively masculine, but dressy, finished and presentable. The myrrh note dominates and is quite pleasant. It's one of those scents I like to sniff on myself; in fact, I've been doing this all day. Lovely. My wife likes it a lot, too.

This has some aromatheraputic qualities, I think. It's calming.

I don't get the vetiver note at all, by the way. Vetiver has a pungency that this simply does not have. This is smooth and elegant.

I did write that I wanted this one, but now I'm not so sure. I have Chanel Pour Monsieur Concentree, which finishes with the same sweet myrrh note. The difference is that this stuff gets there directly while Pour Monsieur Concentree has an evolution through other notes. But it's the same destination.

uh,breathtaking....I cant think of another word to describe how something so uncomplicated can smell so sophisticated in its simplicity. Breathtaking..

why calling this new scent eau sauvage????? this scent has nothing to do with the original scent! and i don't understand why Dior makes new scent with old names?????? a bit tricky!

Beautiful ... Dove si trova questo profumo lo amo troppo?

I made 2 Cardinals sins, one being taken in by the reviews I wanted to believe [It is so easy to blank out the less favourable reviews on this site]. The second one was buying a bottle via the web without actually trying it. I took a punt as I wouldn't have been visiting any Duty Frees in the near future.
I really love ES EDT but as some reviewers have stated the only commonality is the name.
Although ES Parfum is fairly pleasant it's nowhere near as classy as EDT. For me it's too intense and heavy, more suitable for a woman. It's ironic that its longevity is as long as any scent I have owned.
I would recommend anyone to try it first before buying, no doubt there will be the efficinadoes that would say that's a given, however it's easy to get sucked into reading these reviews and with the links to sites such as EBay and Amazon you've bought a bottle before realising it, Not much different to on-line gambling!

I love this site and appreciate the time people take to express their opinions, but the good old time honoured tradition of trapsing round Duty Frees before boarding your flight takes some beating, the only flaw with that is by the time you realise the scent you have tried is the one for you, normally 2 hours into the flight, its never available in the Duty Free of your destination airport!

Can anyone send me a sample of this?

Sweet myrrh and lemons, Eau Sauvage Parfum is another masterpiece by Dior. It's a linear scent that envolves you for a long time. Vetiver is really present, but not green and bright like in many fragrances. It's resinous but a little sweet at the same time. Big thumbs up!

unique but too sweet .

At first spray I am really digging it. I bought this and the original from the late 60s. Picked up the original from Saks ordered the parfum online since I couldn't find it. The original is amazing I had never worn it. The parfum is awesome and intensified but not like so intense that you are hating it. It's actually awesome. And to me it has a very creamy note in it. It's smooth. I love it. And I'm so very happy to have purchased this and newly discovered the Eau Sauvage line of frags. Now I want to check out the other two flankers.

marioslg3 - Thanks! Never wore the original or really loved it so I'm going for the blind buy and getting this. It sounds fab!

Sebjar, if you have in mind the original, this has nothing from it. starting you get some sweet bergamot and then the whole thing turns to be sweet...sweet and very long lasting myrrh....Balmy is the write description for this perfume. if you like sweet perfumes that last and project, go for it....definitely for winter.

This fragrance sounds so amazing I'm dying to get it or at least smell it. I haven't been able to find it anywhere. I need to look very hard to try it but what do you all think is it worth a blind buy?? I have it up at Amazon and was going to click buy but still thinking try it first!

If Eau Sauvage Parfum had been released without the original having existed, I probably would have welcomed it as being an item of retro chic. It is not an enhancement of the original in anyway, but it does share the same DNA. The opening is much more citrus-centric, and it is pleasing, evoking a certain antique vibe. There are no nuanced subtleties to enjoy, this is more a fragrance of three distinct phases. Citrus, woods, and then a decent vetiver finish. For me it doesn't quite work as a whole. It feels contrived and a little ordinary.

Not only should you stick to the original issue of Eau Sauvage, go vintage too.

Rating: 2/5 Average

I am very curious to rey this but nowhere seems to have testers in store for me to smell. I have Guerlain Vetiver Extreme and I really like that and I wanted to try another vetiver/citrus based fragrance. I am 25 and like a variety of fragrances. My signature being L'instant d Guerlain PH Extreme. Does anyone think I would appreciate this/pull it off? Anyone around my age who appreciates this fragrance. I like to e different from the typical guys around my age with PR 1Mill and Acqua di Gio etc etc

SUBLIME!

Wearing “Eau Sauvage, Parfum” for the first time whilst going to see Quentin Tarrantino’s new ‘Western’ masterpiece, “Django Unchained”, was an unforgettable experience as I sat in the cinema deeply spell-bound not only by the unfolding majesty of Tarrantino’s cinematic genius, but also by the power, longevity and beauty that was igniting my olfactory senses given my choice of new perfume.

Indeed, just as Tarrantino places so much attention to detail regarding his exquisite use of colours and palates to achieve stunning, dramatic effect, so it is with Dior's high quality, “Eau Sauvage, Parfum”: a compellingly rich, exceptionally well-composed, and perfectly edited perfume that explodes gorgeously in the olfactory equivalent of full-HD.

Stylistically, “Eau Sauvage, Parfum” is ‘modern’, and feels attuned to the sort of chic, urban landscape of modern city and business life inhabited by a protagonist played by the sophisticated chiseled beauty of Michael Fassbender, as opposed to an ‘organic’ fragrance that reminds one of a dreamy, afternoon's walk during the Fall with the myriad coloured leaves crunching underfoot.

Yet, just as Tarrantino re-works the age-old cinematic tradition of the ‘Western’ to devastatingly modern, relevant, and razor-sharp effect, this perfume puts me in mind of an earlier era within a genre exemplified by Guerlain’s wonderful, “Heritage” from 1992, albeit without the smoky patchouli emphasis inherent to the latter. In significant contrast, then, to Edmond Roudnitska’s original masterpiece, “Eau Sauvage, Parfum” hints at - (and I stress, 'hints at') - amber-oriental fougere moments of beauty that nullify its entry in to those fragrances that commit to yet another fresh, ‘digital’, modern ‘vetiver’, or a those that try to achieve that elusive “Yohji Homme” theme.

For me, however, the most fascinating aspect of Eau Sauvage, Parfum” is its ability to behave, paradoxically, as if it is already the ‘vintage’ version of its actual self and was first composed years ago – a remarkable achievement in this era of restrictions and trends.

I have appreciated “Dior Homme” as one of the strongest ‘masculine’s ‘ to appear in the last decade, though personally find "Eau Sauvage, Parfum" to be the best (‘masculine’) creation Dior has done since the original version of “Fahrenheit” back in the late-80s.

A ‘must-have’; this perfume possesses an impact of steadfast authority and beauty and remains exceptionally poised between the realms of aromatic freshness and richer, sweeter, seductive accords. Importantly it inhabits an inspired realm within contemporary perfume perhaps not dissimilar to the inspiring electric "Django Unchained" created by a genius working within the medium of cinema.

8.5+-10

Love at first sniff. Just tested this at the Dior counter and I am pleasantly surprised. It has the perfect citrus with a smokiness blended in.
Bought the 100ml bottle and it is such a classy fragrance I am very impressed. I had samples of Extreme which is very nice too.

Wow, this is Francois Demachy just showing off his perfumer skills. Dior basically said to him thank you for giving us Dior Homme, Dior Intense etc. You can do what you want, I want to do my version of Eau Sauvage. This is an extraordinary scent artistically, It's all about the craftsmanship in this one, it's not for others to like but for the wearer who enjoys fragrance art this is a Picasso. To take on something from way back 66 and create something which is totally different yet still possess the same DNA is magic. Francios Demachy I salute you. Bravo

Another masterpiece of Dior! Eau Sauvage more mature and elegant despite the composition simpler than the traditional. Elegance is here!

simple; this perfume is a masterpiece to me, one of my favourite man-marketed scents:) i say so because many of my favourites are either unisex or women fragrances that have a sharp masculine side to them, simply coz men fragrances have waaay too much limitations i believe. they're safe, predictable and dare i say; boring. in th sea of perfume clones, there are exceptionally good standouts; egoiste, D&G pour homme, opium homme, m7...

anyway back to eau sauvage parfum; it's dark, 2 faced perfume with a bright fresh citrus side, and a deep, woody, smoky and very rich base. i get notes of myrrh, woods and oud even. i think this should become a classic, and in the tepid male perfume market today, it is an alien. a modern vintage timeless fragrance.
4+ stars.

Tested this today. One spritz on the left wrist. Now after 12 hours i still can smell it. Wow. And i still like to smell it. Double-Wow!

Didn't really expect that i like it. I'm not a fan of "old-style" scents. My first reaction was: A classic perfume for men. That's it! Classy, sophisticated and dense (it's EDP concentration). I get the myrrh, some sweetness, a little bit vanilla. More mature than Dior Homme Intense but if you can pull off Guerlain's LIDGE than give this a try.

Projection is nice. Always there, but not monstrous. Gentlemen-like.

UPDATE: Received a small bottle yesterday (will last me a long time - one spray is enough for me). When i sniffed the sprayer, it smelled like original eau sauvage. On skin, it becomes a different animal.

It's mature, i.e. a lot of 50+ year old men looking for an evening scent will probably enjoy this. BUT: look at the official commercial movie with the young Alain Delon. This can also be sex in a bottle!

Opening very strong vetiver. 12 hours later your left with a deep warm scent that is delicious. Awesome fragrance!

i tried this once again yesterday...i like the opening and the first minutes but then, the perfume terns too sweet and i would prefer it different. it has nothing, as it was said, from the original. This is much more sweet and balmy, the original is lemony and soapy. The longevity is unbelievable, it lasts for a week maybe if you dont wash. This kind of perfume is definitely for very cold weather or at least below 10C.
It is warm and classy but sweet. Thank god is not the sweetness of the new releases. One spray i consider it enough to take you as long as you wish.

Extremely nice and sensual, but the notes breakdown won't describe the fragrance: a floriental for men. I do get an apricot-osmanthus-white floral note, with some of the citrus notes of the original ( not very much) and a sweet oriental base. It does have a carnal note also, that does not smell dirty, just physical. I want it, definitely.

Women could try this one, it is completely shareable.

I would be very interested in comparing this revised formula to the original which I had in 1987, I always remember to be overly citrus, even Limey on the top notes and not much else apart from a hint of vetiver on dry down, it was a very simple fresh and linear fragrance and yes I would definitely say for 40+ Gentlemen, I think i may check this out again as i'm curious now

I really like this stuff. very high class. somewhat reminds me of Monsior by Chanel. Just high quality and nice gentleman scent. Not all that unique, but a decent price for a dior perfume. $84 at sephora.

The balmy part took the freshness away, it must not carry the name Eau Savage, its too different from the vintage one.

But anyway

scent: 6 for me. i Like the original more.

Sillage: Moderate

Duration 8-10 hours on my skin.

Mature Fragrance,Elegant,stays long sillage very good, perfect for all occasional, but it's MATURE, not young 30+ ages.
An Mature Masterpiece from Dior.

Have you present Eau Sauvage? Forget it! Another fragrance.

I don't want to complain again about those same-names that companies gives to a completely different perfume but: nothing in common to share.

Better so.The original recalls me one of those women young at the late sixties, with sky blue eyeshadow, that feels to dare wearing a male scent with lily of the valley.
I really like Eau Sauvage Parfum. This is a round perfume, warm-dark-cold, incensed, "natural", even too simple and monodic in some way, it smells like the french version of those oils you can find into an oriental-herbalist's shop. I've never been to russia, but in some way I imagine like this the smell of an orthodox church, or better of the Tsar. The very first time I tried this I thought it could be also the tipical heart note that you find into some unspecified fragrances of the 80s, like Kouros, or Paco Rabanne. In fact when I've "sniffed back" Giorgio Beverly Hills from a free sample (mini bottle) I had since the 90s, I exclaimed "It's this!", Giorgio is more warm-sweet-sunny, and multifaceted. Then, at the end, I've bought Giorgio.

I think this is a great addition to the classic Eau Sauvage. To be honest, Eau Sauvage original formula is a bit hard for me to pull off. It is very strong in the citrus category and can be a little overpowering on the nose.

With this version, it is a bit softer, woodier, and I can definitely appreciate what they have done with the balmy and earthy elements this Parfum version contains.
I give it a 10/10. It is simply a beautiful fragrance, but make take some getting used to.
You have to be unbiased when trying this out. Get a real sample, not just one spray. Wear it a couple times, and do NOT compare this to Eau Sauvage, as these are not one in the same.

Can't wait to get a bottle of this. I will wear it often as it seems to be very versatile to me.

If anyone has any suggestions as to fragrances that are similar to La Nuit De L'Homme, Only for the Brave, Terre D'Hermes, D&G The One, and anything woody and peppery, please let me know.

Thank you

Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum, to me, embodies two things:
1) A young man maturing into a more refined, sophisticated gentleman.
2) A mature refined, sophisticated gentleman receiving his "2nd wind".

More at home on a date or a late-night rendezvous than at a board meeting, Eau Sauvage Parfum is more cozy, warm and rather seductive. For its debut on my skin, I was showered with compliments from ladies in a rather wide age range. This has mass appeal, even in the Middle East.
If you thought Dior Sauvage was too light and Dior Eau Sauvage Extreme was too heavy, Dior's Eau Sauvage Parfum is JUST right.. and has my FULL RECOMMENDATION...

masterpiece,love this parfum,just received a bottle of this classic today for the grown and sexy man in you!

Tested this with MUCH delight. This is another Manly brew here. Classic Vetiver Green Bergamot, straight up, pure slightly bitter sweet herbal green. Less rough on the nose than the cigar-like bitterness of Cumin in the infamous Polo Green(recently reformulated).
This is something i'd love to save up for a full bottle.

This is in no way a bad fragrance, and in fact, it's a pretty good vetiver fragrance. However, I just can't enjoy this. I've been wearing Eau Sauvage for so long, when I see something called Eau Sauvage Parfum, I expect a much stronger version of Eau Sauvage. This isn't it.

What you have here is a vetiver fragrance that has top notes that resemble Eau Sauvage. Unfortunately the top notes are gone in ten minutes, and what you're left with is a vetiver scent with some myrrh to give it color and depth.

If I weren't such a longtime Eau Sauvage wearer, I'd probably like this much more than I do. But I can't get myself to wear this.

Fantastic opening notes with loads of bergamot which i love. The opening reminds me of rive gauche-before reformulation.a couple of hours later i still get the RG vibe yet the fragrance is turning into something darker sort of smokier,sweeter and manly. original eau sauvage is deeply hidden here.The bottle matches perfectly what is inside-as well as the green-poisonous color juice.I LOVE this new eau sauvage interpretation.very elegant and classy.Both sillage and longevity are great.Very well done.I ll be getting it soon.

I`m a huge fan of ES. In fact, one of the best scents in my taste. I think this job is very, very good, but not better than the EDT.
Great amounts of Vetiver in it. It`s an excellent fragrance and its name could be, perfectly, different from Eau Sauvage.
A lot of vetiver, maybe too much. Good job, no doubt, but not a must.
Anyway, you must try it on your skin.
8/10

Even with a modern touch, Eau Sauvage still remains very much... French. The myrrh is an interesting facet, acting as the middle-ground to this fragrance. The warm, balmy, resinous, smoked earth elements gives Eau Sauvage Parfum an appreciable Eastern ambiance. Captured in the same classy bottle dressed in black, with a new and improved magnetic cap. Symbolic to the fragrance, as it is quite drawing and I might add, entrancing. A masterpiece that sits alongside Dior Homme Intense Eau de Parfum with quality comparable to the Dior Addict classic. This perfume would compliment a wool, cashmere or double-breasted peacoat. A fragrance so deep and intense will only thrive in the winter.

Dior got this one absolutely right. This just oozes class and sophistication. I never cared much for the original, although I had great respect for it's quality it was simply not for me. This one on the other hand is right down my alley. The citrus notes are still there but are well controlled and do not dominate as much as the original; and I personally find this very attractive. There is a smoothness and richness in this that is magnificent. Worth every penny.

Eau Sauvage Parfum: This recent release evokes a time I thought had eluded us for sure. There are satisfying strains of citrus and vetiver in the topnotes. The fragrance evolves as the heart of medicine myrrh paired with chewy musk peers into view, in stark resemblance to the discontinued L'Instant de Guerlain Eau Extrême Pour Homme (minus the gourmand notes). Later in the drydown there arrives a manlike accord that can only be compared to the very best part of original Drakkar Noir's drydown (the one part that made Drakkar worthwhile). Compliments should come easily. Nearly a comforting (though not comfortable) fragrance, in spite of the raspy, almost-shrill aspect of vetiver that peeks its head out from time to time. The only drawback: an extended drydown that calls to mind Play by Givenchy.

I wasn't sure if this would make it to my shores. I feel like I'm on a roll with some recent purchases--Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense, Ben Sherman, Spicebomb, and now Eau Sauvage Parfum!

It's opening is the best part of the fragrance. It opens with a blast of warm, smoky myrrh, rich and enveloping. Then the scent develops with a play of contrasts--hesperidic over resins, powdery over earthy, sometimes sweet over dry, light over dark. These different tensions play up nuances, to my nose, due to the vetiver they used, which is much like Guerlain's Vetiver in a good hefty dose, along with patchouli, and some tonka, to keep the myrrh warm. The scent stays close to the skin. Throughout the day you catch a sniff of it, warm, dark, masculine, a bit mysterious and inviting, elegant and sophisticated. The bottle sure wreaks elegance, old school with the modern, and that shade of green piques your curiosity, and the magnetic cap is the best feature in mens fragrance of late. You can say the scent also gives the impression of warm, rich leather.

As with all scents, you wear what you like. Dior, I'm sure wanted to gear this scent to the thirty something plus lot. This is a man's Parfum--to be put alongside of the "Intense" or the EdT Concentree family of mens perfumery, a little stronger, a little more long lasting than your typical EdT of today's standards, which is usually about 4 hours. By no means I ever felt the masculine Parfum was a true Parfum. After all, why would it be in a 100ml bottle with a spray nozzle and cost under $100 if it were a true parfum? It's like saying that Guerlain should sell Shalimar in 100ml spray bottles for less than $100. I think not.

Eau Sauvage always smelled to me of the gentleman's Eau de Cologne tinged with leather. Eau Sauvage Extreme (my choice in the past) was the gentleman's cologne with a touch of dandy and spice. ES Parfum is for the sophisticated gentleman who prefers to live in a posh condo overlooking the river Hades--with cleaning service. ;)

After never actually really liking its predecesors, the more emphasis on what am just gonna say now. I HAVE TO GET THIS ONE, point blank. Longevity, sillage all as good as Dior Homme Intense... fantastic. Dior is becoming my favourite house after Guerlain. This is not for warmer days though, its not as fresh and zesty as its predecesors are, rather colder months or rather nights. Balmy just describes its to the point, with some darker, smoky dirty feeling... Very good stuff. Absolutely lovely.

a real classy, masculine masterpiece like the extreme version but more penetrating, will be in my wardrobe for ever

Stunning at the first sniff; a masterpiece of contrasts, manly, magnetic, robust, dusty, bright but at the same time dark.. herbal & floral under a woody density.. im in love with this one and i hope this could be my next purchase. Sillage and longevity were amazing. Wear it its a wonderful experience, not a simple smell, but not saturated or rough.

A masterpiece, simply you can not compare it with the others mainstream plastic fragances..

Very nice fragrance. Smokey and citrus from beginning to end. It's a mature, not an old man scent. Anyone under 30 may not appreciate it as much. Great sillage and longevity (10+ hours). On my to buy list. 9/10.

Its definitely for older men....mostly for evening events....but truly not my kind of scent...its too heavy...and the scent is not so pleasant..as myrrh is too strong!

One of the best affordable Vetiver based offerings on the market. If Vetiver by Guerlian was reformulated into a parfum strength this is what it *might smell like.

There is a Caron Por Un Homme soft (balmy?) vanilla in here on the drydown. It's got that "comfort scent" thing going on. Although it is still assertive enough to wear at the office.

A tad of citrus coupled with a heavy/dense Vetiver (similar to Vetiver Guerlain 2000 in the ribbed bottle) and a heavy myrrh base.

I spent 2 weeks wearing this before I ruined my bottle (long story).

Very good longevity and sillage. However the note that is the most prominent for the duration of the fragrance is the myrrh. This was my first interaction with myrrh. I like it but I would much rather be engulfed in Vetiver.

For the price this is a great deal for vetiver lovers.

I tried this yesterday for a first time on the skin. The perfume opens with bergamot and reminds somehow the original eau sauvage. After about 30 minutes the bergamot fades slowly away and then you left with myrrh and some vetiver. As time goes by the perfume gets sweeter and the myrrh dominates everything. It is not a citrus fragrance any more and consiquently, not for summer. The smell of Myrrh last for hours or days, very strong and sweet influenced with the vetiver. Although I like the perfume the first 30 minutes, at the end I was disappointed because of the strong balsam and the lost eau sauvage identity. It's a pity that Dior didnt make the original stronger with the great lemon and soapy/barbershop smell. I was expecting to buy this perfume but not now. It is ideal for those who like balmy fragrances. The quality is high, longevity and sillage but not the smell for me especially for summer. Overall, it is a nice scent but when you expect a stronger version of the original and you get something else, it is more or less the thing you dont want.
UPDATE
having tested this again now where the temperature is lower, the whole things looks and works better. not so sweet in winter and the bergamot is obvious for a longer time. The vetiver and myrhh are the dominate players and the perfume is very nice indeed, but has only very few if nothing from the original.

I’m a great fan of Eau Sauvage. I don’t have a recent bottle and am not sure what shape the current model is in. Mine is from 2001-2002, I’d guess. It’s floral, it’s pretty, it’s old-school fresh. It’s bright and inherently shiny.

There’s now Eau Sauvage Parfum, the Black Swan. It’s the dense, shadowy, witching-hour sibling of the original. Others have said they don’t smell any Eau Sauvage in the ESP, and although I understand why they say that, I do. A trace of the original is there, but the expansiveness is replaced by aloofness. Instead of the buoyant floral sillage of Eau Sauvage, ESP’s wake skates away from you like a demonstration of inertia. You stay put as she slides away from you saying. “You, sit. I’ll take care of this.”

I had a strong sense of déjà vu on sniffing ESP, and a few minutes into trying it, I knew why. Eau Sauvage Parfum smells remarkably similar to Parfums de Nicolai’s Vie de Chateau Intense, nearly Calandre/Rive Gauche similar. In my review of Vie de Chateau last year I mentioned the original Eau Sauvage, writing, “compare the first sniff of each side by side!” I don’t see this similarity as plagiarism, just as I didn’t mean to imply that Vie de Chateau was a copy of the original Eau Sauvage. More likely it’s kismet and a similar outcome from talented people investigating a similar set of ideas. I’d go so far as to say that Eau Sauvage Parfum is one of the best, most thoroughly executed mainstream releases I’ve smelled in years. It is definitive, it smells exceptionally good, and it demonstrates a classical perfume’s virtues of coherence and development. Taking Eau Sauvage, an icon, as a starting place, thinking broadly and in the end giving us a smart gem of a perfume---this is what I want from a flanker.

I’ve seen ESP called a vetiver fragrance, a myrrh fragrance. I find that the notes of hay & tobacco, the moist warmth/coolness fairly shout coumarin. Just as the swan is both ends of the spectrum in one entity, Eau Sauvage Parfum (like Vie de Chateau) comes off as a fougère/chypres hybrid taking the best form each genre.

Nice touch, the dark bottle. Brilliant magnetic cap

Outstanding, stunning!
Here we have a super sexy vintage barbershop splash, heavier and much different from the prior versions though the main theme is the same. It's sporty and high class in a sharp and balmy mainstream.
The middle step is rough and more manly. Here's when it presents its harsh herbal tone.
At the very dry down, I get the same smoky darkness of Japon Nior by Tom Ford. Something a bit sweet a bit bitter and heavy that if it was in the beginning it would be the top seller and the most erotic of the year!
By I can't prefer one of the extreme version and this one. Each is masterpiece for itself.

This is simply not a stronger version of Eau Sauvage. This perfume is a quite different fragrance, it belongs to another world. The citric scent is bergamote type, a bitter, resinous, dark, deep, smoky and rich citric scent.

Eau Sauvage Parfum is one of the best fragrances I ever tried, but it seems Dior has done a very weak advertising campaign.

I discoverted this perfume just by chance on a short trip. It was not available in the whole city and even not advertised anywhere. Even in Dior dealers in big department stores there was not publicity and not availability at all. I saw it by chance in a very important shop and I was thinking... another Eau Sauvage, and I didn't feel attracted (I like Eau Sauvage, but not specially), but then I tried...

What I discovered was an incredibly delicious, bitter, resinous and smoky citric perfume that quickly made me fall in love with it. It's a longlasting, enveloping, mysterious and rich fragrance that I couldn't stop buying it immediately.

I think the problem with understanding this perfume is that many people, when they see Eau Sauvage Parfum are just envisaging a more intense version of fresh Eau Sauvage and here comes the disappointment. It's absolutely not the same. I believe if Dior made a good ad campaign "explaining" that this new fragrance is a different, mysterious and dark scent, but not just a stronger version of Eau Sauvage it would attract more customers.

This is one of the more long lasting fragrances under hot and humid weather. Highly recommended in tropical countries.

Eau Sauvage Parfum has no top notes to speak of. It careens onto skin, all ingredients accounted for, and smells blob like: thick, sour, and greenish-brown. It's a resinous smell that resolves itself gradually into peripheral renditions of vetiver and myrrh. The vetiver takes the fore, and it's a beautiful vetiver note, very smoky, rooty, deep. If you concentrate you get occasional hints of jasmine, buried under the persistent myrrh resins, and my guess is it's Hedione, an ode to the original version of Eau Sauvage. After forty minutes the smoky vetiver begins to fade, and is tinted with freshness - bergamot! But it's used as a supporting note, oddly enough, and also transitionally - the citrus sweetens and morphs into pure myrrh. This sweet myrrh hums along steadily for a few more hours before fading into a gauzy white skin scent. This is a pleasant fragrance, more of an EDP really, but nothing I'd be inclined to purchase, because Guerlain Vetiver and Grey Vetiver do vetiver better, and Frankincense & Myrrh by Czech & Speake does myrrh better. Plus, who can wear this in the summer time? There are too many other compelling options for autumn and winter. I couldn't really say where and how Eau Sauvage Parfum could fit into my life, and that's a shame.

Tried this one last night. Nothing even close to the original EdS.I have to admit, I never loved original EdS, liked yes. (way to much citrus for me)
So I hoped this one could be right for me, lees citrus, vetiver for base, perfect. Turns out,this is whole new fragrance, nothing I've hoped for.

Start with Bergamot and well blended Myrrh and Vetiver. This blend of Myrrh and Vetiver is some heavy sweet smell that start to play solo 10-15 min. after.And because this is Eau de Parfum it has depth and stayed for a long time. Sprayed last night at 9:00 pm on paper, still there after 12h.
I love vetiver, but not in this mix, lees woody more aromatic sweet smell. This is not summer fragrance, way to heavy. For autumn/winter yes.

Bottom line, I'm going to skip this one and hope Dior is going to reformulate in next few years, make for the first time better then original issued.

I found this in the store today and was so excited only to find it nothing like the classic Eau Sauvage. I was really hoping the edp would have been more concentrated sharing the same basic dna as the classic. Seems this one is a whole "new" fragrance that, to me, does not stand out in the crowd either. Perhaps they should have named it cologne and put it in a plain bottle without a cap. I was so looking forward to this. I just want to be blown away with something new. Matter of fact I want each of my fragrances to be unique from each other and continually blow me away! JG 051212

God, what a bad surprise. I tought this was going to be an "eau de parfum" Eau Sauvage, but it ends up being a very unplaesant, sweet playdo scent ...

EDIT : Maybe I was to harsh on this one, perhaps it was the disapointment talking. I retried it the other day and it was kinda pleasing, surely sweet and resinous, but it's ok, overall. Great, great longevity though, one of the great point. For the fresh summer nights.

I really wanted to love this one but I am afraid it was a "bitter" disappointment. Bitter in the very 'scent' as all I got was a bitter cardamom, some bergamotte, overshadowed by Mhyrr and Vetiver.
I sampled on a very warm and humid day at the airport, but sadly I found it very unpleasant.

Perhaps its an Oxymoron, to try and amend a classic summer fragrance so that it would morph into a heavier night and autumn/ winter version: citrus based scents will always escape fast and they belong into summer daytime (Eau sauvage does!!)

"Eau sauvage extreme" on the other hand is a keeper!!

Try the fresher, greener "DUNE for men" instead!

With the new Parfum (Eau de Parfum in fact) version Francois Demachy turned Eau Sauvage into Eau Vetiver. It starts not zesty and old-fashioned but modern with smooth citruses. Soon vetiver begins to play or even to be a soloist surrounded by something sweet (i think myrrh). I feel a Guerlain type of vetiver here. Definitely on my skin this Parfum smells nothing like the regular Eau Sauvage but more like a typical vetiver-centred fragrance. That's really a new interpretation of classics and I think most of you will like it. As for me Eau Sauvage Parfum is too sweet (sweet is not an accurate word, mild or gentle will be more exact) for Eau Sauvage.

This is really promising.
Color of the juice is awesome like pure oil and goes super with black lines.
Can't wait to hold it.

What an amazing bottle and colour....by the way.....I want some.....but after some of these reviews, I want to try this first....

The boys are back in town!

This is a great surprise i always liked it but longevity was very poor for such an expensive fragrance, now i can see my hands on a bottle of this.

Eau de sauvage is in my opinion a masterpiece of citrus exellency.Have had a lot of compliments over the years for this.When Dior makes a perfume version of this one,i belive it will be splendid.

Looking forward to this version especially since it's an edp. It's logical to automatically(optimistically) compare this to the original ES so I hope the biggest difference will be it's life span on my skin which has always prevented me from actually purchasing it. It's true, Diorella is a potential contender for ES. Perhaps this is what we're all waiting for. The more edp options for men's fragrances the better. Lay it on. JG 033012

Nice!!!
Our grandpa last much longer in our memories!
RIP grandpa! you're still rocking the world after all this years!

Does it need parfum version? I don't think so. This masterpiece which I own extreme version is flawless in scent and presentation indeed. Anyway, its parfum is welcomed joyfully and I wait for it impatiently to hit the markets here.
