Sauvage Eau Forte
Sauvage Eau Forte by Dior is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum from 2023 in the premium price tier. It opens with bergamot and mandarin, moves into lavender and clary sage and dries down to ambroxan, patchouli and vetiver. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
Heart
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Clary Sage Softer, sweeter sage with an ambery undertone. Warm and herbal.
Dry-down
- Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
