I tried this in-store by dabbing it on my wrist. I loved the scent; it’s that classic blue fragrance that suits everything. The best part is it definitely projects, and even after eight hours, I could still smell it. I feel it’s an investment worth making. I’m more of a marine fragrance person, but if I ever get the chance to buy this, I will.
This is, by far, the most overrated fragrance on the market. When I first started exploring perfumery, everyone praised this scent above all others: the guaranteed compliments, the ‘bestseller for a reason’, the ‘its only flaw is its popularity’. Let me tell you what this fragrance truly is: it’s very simple. One negative factor often cited was its longevity; I’m here to say it has excellent longevity and projection. It’s not a beast mode, but for a blue fragrance, it’s outstanding. However, the most important aspect is the scent itself, and here I disagree with the fans. The idea that it’s a magnet for compliments is false. You might get compliments for wearing perfume, but for women (girls under thirty aren’t attracted to it, nor is it unpleasant, it’s just ‘X’), it doesn’t draw them in, mainly because it’s not sparkling, daring, eye-catching, or sexy. It’s formal and simple; it makes you smell like an office worker in a suit all day. The scent is basic, smelling clean and proper, with a touch of formality that adds maturity for those over thirty-five; under that age, you’ll look like you’re trying too hard to appear older, as it’s not a fragrance a young person would suit. In extreme heat, the scent changes, and in the cold, it loses performance. Outside these extremes, it’s versatile. Let’s talk about the controversy and its ‘popularity’: the Dior Sauvage scent isn’t something I’ve ever smelled before where I live, as nobody wears perfume here, but because it’s so simple, it smells familiar, like what anyone smells after a shower. People might think it’s just your natural pH and not perfume; it’s that unvibrant. In conclusion, it’s the perfect fragrance for people aged thirty to forty-five, serious, formal, proper, and smells like what you think an office worker should smell. Scent 7/10, Longevity 8/10, Projection 8/10, Sillage 10/10, Compliments 6/10, Sprays 6/10.
I don’t know why people hate it. The scent itself isn’t burnt; it’s simply the typical blue DNA – sweet, fresh, and youthful – that every designer brand produces. Still, I don’t love it, but I detest it when it’s overly pleasant and agreeable.
Want to save almost $100? Go buy Club De Nuit Urban Elixir. I won’t say any more.
A wonderful fragrance for evening wear, slightly burnt but without losing its charm.
Farewell, Sauvage. Hello to the forum; I’m about 3ml from finishing my bottle of Sauvage, a 2018 batch. In the end, I didn’t use it much, leaving me with a bittersweet feeling as it was one of the first fragrances in my collection. Seven years ago I didn’t have today’s experience; I was swept up in the hype of cheapies and YouTuber trends, but this fragrance was always a safe choice, becoming less prominent over time yet creating good impressions and some female compliments, at least in my personal and professional context. It’s not as fresh as when it was new; its citrus opening isn’t as bright, but now I appreciate its spiced and ambroxan facets more. There’s not much more to add to other forum members’ reviews. I don’t think I’ll buy it again, but I recognise that Sauvage has become a contemporary classic. I’ve already lived through its cycle at the right time, so farewell Sauvage… a reference fragrance for collectors and casual buyers alike.
Sauvage 12 by Holmyy Parfums (available only in Argentina) is superior to the original; it offers the next level for those who adore this fragrance, a kind of rebirth. At a price that seems to have been miscalculated regarding its accessibility, I bought a promo of five units. The seller said they could be varied. ME: give me five Sauvage 12s.
Sauvage by Dior is usually a hit and I understand why: it’s fresh, clean, masculine and incredibly versatile, suiting almost any occasion. It works for the office, going out, or when you’re unsure what to wear. However, it doesn’t stand out for complexity; it has a clear, safe structure but lacks that soulful or mysterious touch that would make it truly special. I tried it as a sample and it’s a perfectly competent and effective fragrance, a genuine all-rounder. That said, don’t expect constant compliments: being so popular, it tends to go unnoticed. It does its job… but it doesn’t surprise.
Go straight for the EDP; it’s the winning option.
Personally, I simply cannot stand this scent. I’m not saying it smells bad, but I don’t like it even a little bit.
Legendary perfume. It’s already in the Olympus of Top Sales alongside Aqua di Gio, Bleu de Chanel, One Million, or Invictus. But this is already number 1 in sales. I have the EDT and the EDP. The EDT kicks the eau de parfum right in the pants. Much fresher, cleaner, more metallic. Extraordinary. They label it as overused and I love it. It makes fewer people buy it, and I haven’t smelled it on the street for months. Take a look at the Anto Parfum video. It’s excellent. He says that what is now overused and smelled everywhere is the Kenzo Homme Edt Intense (a linear and boring perfume). It’s true that it doesn’t perform as before; but it gives you 5-6 glorious hours.
I think it’s my skin, but it smells a bit uncomfortable like detergent/laundry soap. For this reason, I wouldn’t recommend buying it blindly. It smells good from the bottle, but on my skin it smells like cleaning chemicals.
This and the Elixir are the only Sauvages you should own. All the others are unnecessary filler.
An incredible scent, citrusy and masculine at the start; it’s peppery and can make you sneeze, plus the metallic smell of ambroxan. It’s an all-terrain perfume. You use it for almost everything, except the gym, but it’s for any weather and suits almost any occasion (university, going out, club). The problem is the longevity: the first 2 to 3 hours it’s a beast, projecting a lot (I have an anecdote where I was going to a talk, I thought it was in a forum, but it was in a small room; I sprayed about 12 or 15 times, and I probably hated by those around me; I could hear them sniffing, surely due to the peppery itch). After the third hour, it drops significantly; longevity ranges from 6 to 8 hours on skin, and it sticks quite a bit to clothes, so I’ve left garments with its scent. Before, I thought it didn’t last at all, and yes it did, but later I saw that being so strong generates olfactory fatigue, so I don’t bathe in it anymore nor repeat it so often. But yes, its performance isn’t as bad as people mention for the first batch, nor as poor as those from the pandemic era. It’s a scent they say is boring, but it’s popular for a reason, and I love it.
They say it’s overused, overrated… a controversial perfume par excellence. Loved by many and hated by others, Dior Sauvage is perfumery history. Few times has the idea of a fresh and versatile men’s perfume been executed better. The best version for me: this one, the original.
100% masculine scent, clean and bold. In the opening and first two hours, it feels quite metallic/mineral. Once dry, you understand why it is one of the best-selling fragrances in history; it’s madness. Its greatest virtues are versatility and longevity; it’s hard for me to think of a more versatile perfume. Suit for work? It works. Cargo trousers, safety boots, and a t-shirt? It works. Daily wear, night out, dates, formal? It works. On me, it lasts longer than a working day. It’s a bit overused, probably people won’t chase you to ask what perfume you’re wearing, but it’s a workhorse; it never fails. If you’ve never worn designer perfumes and are overwhelmed, buy a small bottle of this to start and see what it’s like; afterwards, you’ll have plenty of time and options to spend your bonus smelling good.
I tried it and it smells like liquid detergent or laundry soap; I didn’t like it at all.
Those who say it smells like detergent should check carefully because they probably have a fake. Sauvage EDT is a classic and is always, rich, wonderful, a spiced, aromatic, and slightly less fresh marvel (I have the 2025 version). The 2019 version seems fresher with a sweeter lime. A marvel wherever you get it. FOR A REASON IT IS THE BEST SELLER. Tremendous success.
Very rich and sexy!
The first time I smelled Sauvage, I was fascinated. A neighbour wore it, and I could smell it from the other side of the street. It was a rare scent back in Mexico (a few years ago, 2017). I loved that ultra-sexy ambroxan, very masculine and captivating. That is my memory of Sauvage EDT. Nowadays, it is heavily copied and diluted, which has taken away its magic. 9/10.
It is one of my favourite fragrances; honestly, I don’t detect any detergent smell. The only thing I would wish for is more projection, as it doesn’t have much on my skin. The longevity is moderate leaning towards strong, but without a doubt, it is one of my favourites.
I started with the EDP, which was indifferent to me, then the Elixir, which is an absolute beast, and finally the Parfum. While the mandarin opening attracted me, on my skin it smells like insecticide. This is why I tried and used the EDT. I agree with the review below: this is for everyone, and that is its great masculine virtue, confirming its mass appeal: it solves everything. My special mention is female admiration: in 5 years, whenever I asked any shop assistant or woman what the best perfume for men was, or which one they liked most or recommended for going out, 95% without hesitation told me Sauvage EDT, some even with emphasis. People, that is no small feat.
Sauvage impacts from the very first second: the bergamot and pepper explode with vibrant, spicy freshness, marking a potent opening. The heart, featuring lavender, anise, and nutmeg, adds character and depth. The woody and amber base with ambroxan, sandalwood, tonka, and vanilla leaves an intense, long-lasting, and quality trail. It is undeniable that it is well-constructed, with strength and presence, for men who want to make an impression. However, while I acknowledge its quality, it is not to my taste. I find it too common and the price excessive for what it offers. Conclusion: it is impactful and prestigious, but for me, it does not justify the cost versus the experience.
An excellent all-rounder!
The fragrance opens with light fruity notes and plenty of pepper, which gains strength as it dries down. To my taste, it is attractive; it’s not unique (there are many similar ones) but it works. It is appealing and you will likely receive compliments several times. Sauvage EDT is a perfume seen everywhere; I’m not surprised they say, ‘Oh, my father has one just like this.’ Many find it instinctively off-putting, but if you haven’t tried it, don’t close your mind. Give it a go; if you like it, use it, if not, that’s fine.
This perfume is a perfect detector to steer clear of whoever wears it. Every time I’ve met users who wear it (which aren’t few, very mainstream), they confirm that there smells like a mistake, a scam, or mental imbalance dressed as Dior, or accessible luxury, if you prefer. If I can ask, I ask that they never discontinue it and that bad taste never evolves; so the olfactory alarm warns me and makes my life easier. 🤢
This fragrance must never die; it should always exist. That blend of lavender, cedar, and ambroxan is incredible; it smells like a modern barbershop, as my friend Lancharro says! A safe purchase for anyone over 35.
It smells very chemical and artificial, yet people adore it. It bears a strong resemblance to the fresh synthetic scent of Davidoff’s Cool Water. While it initially hints at fruit or pepper, we all know it’s about 90% synthetic… it recalls something fresh, mildly sweet, and lavender-like. Yes, it’s that typical fresh masculine scent. It’s not unique; you’ve surely heard of it before. It lasts a long time and is linear. To repeat, it’s not bad, but I’d suggest smelling it first, then searching for something cheaper that resembles it; there are plenty of options.
When they told me this perfume smelled like a clean man, I didn’t believe it, until I tried it. It’s a very soft scent, quite versatile. I use it for university and I like it. I don’t know why I felt it lasted two hours on skin and then vanished, but on clothes and in general I kept sensing and smelling the perfume after three hours. I’d say it has medium performance, and it’s a good option for a signature and daily perfume.
Sauvage is a modern classic that never fails. Fresh, spicy, super versatile, with an imposing masculine vibe. The longevity and projection are top-notch; they make you noticeable wherever you go. I recommend it 100%, especially for those over 30 looking for a signature scent for everyday wear.
What a fantastic and versatile fragrance! Fresh and spicy, I absolutely love that lavender with a hint of pepper it leaves on the skin. Suitable for all seasons and occasions; I wear it to school and everyone says it smells great. It has a trail without being overpowering, and it projects even more in the cold. Ideal for both young and older gentlemen.
About 60% similar to Natura’s Biography and 95% to Colbert Code. I own all three, greetings from Buenos Aires!
An excessively used perfume, very ‘burned’ and annoying. Already in 2026 it’s very outdated, doesn’t make anyone stand out and is very forgettable.
I loved this perfumazo. I speak in the past because I bought it in December 2015 and it lasted me years; it’s so intense that it wasn’t necessary to overapply it. Every time I wore it, it boosted my self-esteem; I felt sophisticated, elegant, modern, audacious. I felt empowered, literally. I left a mark wherever I stepped. It’s expensive, but it’s worth it.
I don’t understand why people say everyone uses it; if by luck they put on perfume in my country. It’s not a scent I identify with; it smells like an extroverted and confident man shouting ‘look at me’, the exact opposite of what I want to convey.
One of the fragrances I detest the most. It smells like soap (Ambroxan to the point of intoxication), excessively massified in offices. It reminds me of morning business meetings with a bit shameless sales agents. It evokes unreliable types, swindlers, those who sell motorbikes. A fragrance for generic and unreliable office types. I respect other people’s tastes, but that profile of person is what reminds me of this scent, precisely because of its mass use in offices. Edit: Interesting that, reading comments, user Rockrules made a review very much in the same line.
I understand people want an ‘original’ scent, if there is such a thing nowadays, although there is also a lot of snobbery against Sauvage. Even experts say they’ve smelled it on many people. Let’s be honest: for its price, it’s not accessible to everyone either. That said, it’s a perfumazo and a long-time favourite. It may have the taste of the majority, but for me that speaks more of having a universal character than a common taste. It speaks volumes that it has become the bestseller and a perfumery classic despite being from 2015 (with so much competition).
Absolute stinker. Although it’s already very overused, it’s something you should have in your collection: super versatile, incredible scent and high longevity. Of my whole collection, it’s the one that has flattered me the most.
If this had a name, it would be ‘Summary for Men’. If you missed out on the perfume world over the last 40 years, you’ll be up to date in two hours. It’s the average of the average: elegant, serious, with a fresh touch and that dominating Ambroxan, though the spicy notes don’t say much. I would use it, but I wouldn’t pay more than £100. It doesn’t smell as synthetic as people claim, but the notes aren’t the best; in the end, it leaves a bit of a Zest soap vibe. Its great virtue is that the structure is well thought out. The labdanum and elemi got lost; someone please report them. As it’s average, it suits almost anything, except hot beach days. Don’t misunderstand me, I criticise because I expected more from this legend. You’ll like it, it’s made to be liked, there’s plenty to see on the positive side. It could be worse, it could be Polo 67.
It took the young Sauvage EDT eleven years to become a classic myth. Despite its extreme massification, it still generates that fresh and sweet grace. Its quality was never in doubt, that of the raw materials; perhaps its scent, hated or loved, but never unnoticed. A perfume with old-school barbershop airs that broke rules in this century of glass. Dior shows its mastery with Eau Sauvage, Fahrenheit, Dior Home Intense and Sauvage. Today, in 2025, the Sauvage EDT remains intact beyond the flankers that perfected it. Its fresh ambered sweetness with peppercorns is still there, perhaps weaker, but with the pride of continuing to be desired by its faithful public in the shop windows.
