Sauvage: Swagger Without Style

Sauvage Eau de Parfum by Dior
Aromatic Fougere
Francois Demachy

Yes, finally the famous Johnny Depp Sauvage by Dior. The frag was launched in 2015 as a modern fresh formal scent for men. I can confirm that it is a beast when it comes to lasting and projection. The aromatic aspects of the aroma are enhanced with ambroxan which helps with sillage and longevity.

Ambroxan is a musky synthetic compound. The reason I am saying this is because you get the molecular feeling out of this fragrance. I am sure it guarantees you many compliments from people who are not into perfumes. They will smell you and think he smells damn good. I personally don’t appreciate the chemical feel. I would rather have a fragrance with less power and wear some natural and raw materials.

On top of that, when you say Sauvage I picture a swagger character not in a good way, a bit arrogant and big-headed. And not because I don’t like Johnny Depp! 🙂 I also think Sauvage can be a bit too much for some women. I am not sure if they really appreciate it on a guy. To my nose, it can get almost repulsive. I gave to test it to my dad (70) and husband (35) to see if they like it or not. Neither of them enjoyed it. What a relief I am not going to smell Sauvage around 🙂 They thought it had a typical male fresh smell and they were looking for something more sophisticated and edgy.
