The story behind the bottle.
Sauvage Eau Forte by Dior was launched in 2024, crafted by Francis Kurkdjian. This aromatic fougère fragrance opens with a bold combination of spices and elemi resin, creating an initial burst of freshness that is both invigorating and unexpected. The heart of lavender adds a soothing contrast to the spiciness, while musk and woody notes anchor the composition in warmth and depth. It's a scent designed for those who embrace adventure with a touch of sophistication.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for maximum impact — it projects well from the start but takes about an hour to fully settle into its warm, woody base. Ideal for cooler weather when you want a scent that feels both fresh and comforting.
