The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012, Eau Sauvage Parfum by Dior is an aromatic-citrus fragrance crafted by François Demachy. This composition opens with a bright citrus blend of bergamot and citron, which contrasts beautifully against the earthy vetiver and patchouli notes that anchor the base. The heart includes lavender and hedione, adding a fresh-spicy warmth that transitions smoothly into the balsamic richness of myrrh and oakmoss. Eau Sauvage Parfum is neither overly bold nor understated, making it versatile for various occasions.
Apply Eau Sauvage Parfum lightly at first; it blooms gradually over time. The citrus top notes are bright but fade within an hour, while the vetiver base note sustains its presence for hours. This fragrance reads better close to skin than in a room, so aim for pulse points rather than spraying liberally.

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.”
