The story behind the bottle.
Eau Sauvage Cologne by Dior, launched in 2015 and crafted by François Demachy, is a composition that balances fresh citrus notes with aromatic greens and spicy undertones. The fragrance opens with Calabrian bergamot, grapefruit, and mandarin orange, creating an invigorating and bright top layer. As it develops, the green and woody accords of galbanum and vetiver provide depth and warmth, grounding the freshness without overpowering it.
Apply Eau Sauvage Cologne to pulse points for a lasting effect throughout the day. The citrus notes are bright but fade within an hour, so reapply if you want to maintain that initial freshness. The woody base will carry through longer, providing a warm and subtle presence.

François Demachy
Dior's guardian of dreamsFrançois Demachy is the in-house perfumer-creator at Christian Dior, a title that places him among the most influential noses in the world. Born in Cannes and raised in Grasse — the historic capital of perfumery — he carries the craft in his blood.
“Early on, I memorised a whole host of notes without even realising it. I could recognise moss and flowers. My nose educated itself.”
