Eau Sauvage Extreme 2010 by Dior, launched in 2010 and crafted by François Demachy, is a bold reimagining of the original Eau Sauvage. This composition opens with a vibrant burst of citrus — bergamot, Sicilian lemon, and grapefruit — that feels like a splash of cold water on your face. The heart notes of elemi, lavender, basil, and mint introduce a fresh, spicy complexity, while jasmine adds a subtle floral touch. As the fragrance settles into its woody base, oakmoss, Virginia cedar, vetiver, and patchouli create an earthy, mossy backdrop that feels both grounding and invigorating.

Application Tips
Eau Sauvage Extreme 2010 has a strong opening that fades quickly, so apply it liberally to ensure its fresh citrus notes last through the day. The woody base takes about an hour to bloom fully, making this fragrance ideal for daytime wear where you want a refreshing start and a warm finish.
