Launched in 1984 by Dior and crafted by perfumer Edmond Roudnitska, Eau Sauvage Extreme is a bold evolution of the original Eau Sauvage. This citrus-aromatic composition opens with bright notes of lemon, bergamot, and basil, creating an invigorating freshness that contrasts beautifully with earthy and woody undertones. The heart features lavender and rosemary, adding a touch of herbal warmth before settling into a base of patchouli, sandalwood, oakmoss, and musk. This fragrance captures the essence of Dior’s refined elegance while infusing it with a modern edge.

Application Tips
This fragrance has excellent longevity and moderate sillage, so one or two sprays on pulse points is sufficient. It's best applied in the morning to allow its complex layers to unfold throughout the day. The earthy and woody notes make it suitable for both office and evening wear.
Edmond Roudnitska
Founding perfumer · 23 fragrances · French
Edmond Roudnitska is remembered today as one of the most important perfumers in history: as a ""perfumer composer"" and the inventor of modern perfumery. His encounter in the 1950s with Serge Heftler-Louiche, the founder of Parfums Christian Dior and Frédéric Malle’s grandfather, was decisive. Together they created many legendary perfumes: “Eau Fraîche”, “Diorissimo”, “Diorella”, and most famous of all, “Eau Sauvage”, whose launch coincided with the public’s recognition of Edmond as the first “nose” of the perfume industry.Edmond began his career as a chemist at Roure Bertrand Dupont, where he developed an encyclopedic knowledge of natural and synthetic raw materials, as well as a distinctive minimalist style, which led to his legendary, secret masterpiece, “Le Parfum de Thérèse”. Only she, his wife, was allowed to wear it; but as a token of their shared family history, and their mutual trust, she entrusted the formula to Frédéric Malle after Edmond’s death.
